ZYWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO \ud83d\ude31 He ends overtime with a 1v3 CLUTCH \ud83d\udcaa@zywoo #ESLOne pic.twitter.com\/uopAE2uZB2 \u2014 ESL Counter-Strike (@ESLCS) July 7, 2019 After joining the French organization in October 2018, they went on to win DreamHack Atlanta and make it to the IEM Katowice Major. Wins at ECS Season 7, ESEA Season 31, cs_summit 4, and a second place at Cologne had Team Vitality peak as high as second in the HLTV rankings for 2019. ZywOo was the spearhead of that insurgence, with the 19-year-old averaging a rating of 1.32, and almost a kill per round across the entirety of 2019. Only Na`Vi veteran s1mple came close to matching ZywOo\u2019s numbers across the year, making him arguably the best CSGO player all year. Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr (Call of Duty) Simp was a weapon in eUnited\u2019s back pocket for years before the support player made huge waves on his full-time entry into professional Call of Duty in 2019. The Search and Destroy star finally turned 18 in February, and eUnited wasted no time in promoting him from their Cadets academy team to the main roster. He came second at his first CWL event in London in May, before stepping it up during the CWL Pro League playoffs. He helped eUnited secure the $500,000 main prize in Miami, and then put on a great show to take home the World Championship in Los Angeles in August, and an MVP medal to boot.

Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf (Fortnite) Bugha went from quiet performer to instant millionaire, dominating Fortnite in 2019 to take home the World Cup solos event and pocket $3 million. He didn\u2019t win the World Cup by a small margin either \u2013 he almost doubled the points of any other player in one of the game\u2019s most jaw-dropping performances. Game one of the Solo #FortniteWorldCup is dominated by @bugha who picks up 9 eliminations along the way!

Arslan \u2018Arslan Ash\u2019 Siddique (Tekken) Pakistan was never a country anyone associated with Tekken \u2013 that was until Arslan Ash came along. The Kazumi main started off 2019 dodging border officials on his way to small-time events, and ended it with two EVO titles, and an unforgettable story. Arslan Ash won EVO Japan and EVO Las Vegas 2019, taking down some of the game\u2019s best players, such as Bae \u2018Knee\u2019 Jae-min and Yoon \u2018LowHigh\u2019 Sun-woong.
