Earning respect in Esports is not always easy – not even for professional players. Often, there comes a defining moment when a player’s behavior affects their entire image. It can go either way, but some of the players in Esports have really earned the respect of their fans!

Overwatch – Se-yeon “Geguri” Kim

Geguri was the only female player in the Overwatch League for three consecutive years and had to earn her respect the hard way. Before her OWL career began, she was accused of cheating by other professional players. They said women just couldn’t play as well as her. The critics staked their careers on it – and after Geguri proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she wasn’t hacking, many actually ended her career.

Geguri handled everything with class – that includes actual death threats she received – and forever earned the respect of the Overwatch community.

League of Legends – Faker

Lee “Faker” Sang Hyeok, one of the best LoL players in the world, is known for his aggressive but skillful plays. He is also respected for his flexibility in the champion pool. His career began in 2013, and since then he has earned more than a million dollars in prize money and won no less than three world titles.

The fact that he has managed to do this without any major conflicts or scandals only proves that “Faker” is all about the game, not the drama.

CS:GO – f0rest

F0rest is one of the most influential CS players in the history of the game – he has been playing professionally since 2005. In more than 15 years, he has earned a reputation as a top player and is partly responsible for bringing his long-time team Fnatic to the top of the CS:GO scene – before moving to Ninjas in Pyjamas, where he stayed for eight years.

Over the course of his career, he earned well over a million dollars, won several major tournaments, and of course, a prestigious place in the CS:GO Hall of Fame as one of the best players the game has ever seen.

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
