EliGE makes second HLTV Top 20 appearance, coming in at 15
Liquid's Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski has been selected as #15 of the HLTV Top 20. EliGE was a core component of the Liquid machine that nabbed two trophies in 2018, but perhaps more notably, countless more runner up finishes, many to the Danes of Astralis.
The selection makes EliGE the first American in either CS 1.6 or CS:GO to make appearances in the Top 20 in multiple years, as he was named the twelfth best player of 2017. It also points to more history being made, as at least one of his Liquid teammates is sure to make the list as well, which would make 2018 the best year for North America to date in terms of players being honored.
For his bold prediction of a player who will make the coveted list next year, EliGE diverged from Timothy "autimatic" Ta and picked a domestic player, selecting Owen "oBo" Schlatter. The now fifteen year-old American made MDL when he was just fourteen, and since has racked up over $10,000 in FPL winnings alone.
