P.S.
It has to be Lucas Barton.

polosatiy

Fatal1ty should definitely be a top candidate.
The ability to switch from game to game and reach the top has to be admired.

It's not like he made transition from Quake to StarCraft and then to Fifa.

Come on, it's FPS after all. If you are good in one title, know/have FPS basics - you'll be good in all of them if you practise enough. And he played games which hadn't really had any big scene (Doom 3, AvP2).

He's good but I bet others could do that as well (if had the time/motivation), but no one has really committed himself to gaming like he did. I mean people stick with one game, because they LIKE/LOVE the game, not because there is money on the line. At least in most of cases.

He's a legend but not the best gamer :c

you forget the amount of extremely talented players lurking around painkiller, and the ammount of cash (100k+) you'd get just by being top 5 in 2k5 just from prizes. lexer and rat and forrest and wombat and daler and cha0tics and so on didn't just stay out of that cash for no good reason. some tried really hard, and others saw it futile.

Lee Young Ho. What do I win?

Winning.

Gotta agree there. He raped terrans like they were nothing.

True.

mr pacman

desperate

It's obviously AtheneWins, the best gamer in the world

That dude whose really good at Donkey Kong arcade.

He's called Billy Mitchell alias "Mr Pacman". Unless you mean Steve Wiebe of course.

Steve Wiebe, thankyou.

you mean hank chien

jamerio.

duh.

and advent™ is a close 2nd

shadowmaster155

155 is his 'gaming age'

Flash / Jaedong - staying on top in the hardest game ever
fox - he's best all round Quake player ever, pwning in Q3, CPM, QW, CTF, CA, TDM, DUEL, Q4, Q6, Q2, QL, Q8, :QQQ

you're on to something

Have to agree with you on fox - i still feel that his raw talent was second to none, even the likes of Cypher. It's such a shame he always choked and never got to win a huge lan. :-/

There was a vote on this several years ago on this site and BoxeR won :)

wombat is the best multi gamer easily

broke my heart as he stopped playing q3, his style was so nice to watch

He played call of duty 4 for a while with evil geniuses. There's vods about from iseries, tex and aef. http://quadv.com/ondemand/#/date/page-1

Joachim "TorZelan" Sandberg.

That guy has poems written about him yo.


"an ode to Mr Sandberg"

Yea, doth thou, verily
Sit in thine electric mantle
Hark! Punishment forcometh
For polish gentlemen beset in your iron rays of doom and death
Your hand be true, your cause be right,
STOP BEING CUNT, PLAY MORE QUAKE LIVE

Such a difficult question to answer, and essentially impossible as no-one will agree on the definition/criteria of what makes the best gamer of all time; especially across multiple games.

I'm not up to speed really on other games, but imo in quake:

The best control based player: Cooller

The best aim based player: Toxjq

The best "enemy-position" orientated player: Cypher

The best aim+pattern based player: Z4muz

The best defensive player: Rapha


Best dueler ever: Rapha, no-one outsmarts him, and can play his very best under the highest pressure. Gets the job done when it matters the most; arguably the most mentally strong player there has ever been in quake.

Best TDM player ever: Fox, very intelligent control/area based player who could assist the team in any manner on any map in any situation.

Best multi-mode player: Czm; multiple duel champion, and the stuff he pulled off in ctf was bat-shit insane. Also, anyone who has not watched that Qcon 2002 FFA match, go watch it now to give you a hint of what this guy was capable in his prime. Exceptional.

As for multiple games, I have no idea. Wombat seems to be the best candidate as he has been successful in several (CS, COD, Q3, ET).

But the best gamer ever? It would probably have to be one of the startcraft legends; the level the koreans have pushed the game, and the level of competition means its probably the hardest game to win anything in.

It's a nice question :)

Best FFA player: Tony

SlayerS_BoXeR

The best player of all time? The answer is you! You are all the best players, now get out there and kick some arse.

How good was stermy at fifa?

I love that the OP didn't even get a plus.
