Patiphan is only 18 years old, yet he’s already racked up quite the two-esport resume.

Snip3down also placed second with Team Reciprocity at the EXP Invitational that was held at the Summer X Games in 2019, and he came in third at the ALGS 2021 Championship with TSM. He also achieved something few other esports players can claim: winning a gold medal with Evil Geniuses at the X Games Aspen 2016.Īs a matter of fact, he did it twice, medaling again at X Games Minneapolis 2019 – only this time while playing Apex Legends. He’s won dozens of major titles, including the 2008 MLG National Championship and the 2016 HCS Pro League Finals. Snip3down is one of the most accomplished Halo players of all time.

With so many pros switching to VALORANT, there are bound to be others who collect major titles in both games. Now, Nitr0 is back on Team Liquid playing CS:GO. And in 2021, they reached the semifinals of Masters: Berlin. That fall, 100 Thieves won the year’s biggest VALORANT tournament, First Strike North America. Then, in summer 2020, Nitr0 retired from CS:GO and joined 100 Thieves’ VALORANT team. ![]() Nitr0 had an incredibly successful run in CS:GO with Team Liquid in 2019, winning IEM Sydney, Dreamhack Dallas, ESL Pro League Season 9, ESL One: Cologne and IEM Chicago – all contributing to Team Liquid ultimately winning the third ever IEM Grand Slam. But the poster boy for the move is Nitr0, aka Captain America. Many have made the jump from CS:GO to VALORANT since the game’s release in 2020, several of them experiencing success – Spencer “Hiko” Martin, Ethan “Ethan” Arnold and Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom all come to mind.

It’s by no means an exhaustive list, as there are quite a few players who prospered in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and have started to build nice VALORANT careers in recent years. Patiphan is one of only a handful of pros – along with the names below – who have excelled in and even amassed trophies in multiple esports. To be successful in two is pretty special. To be successful in one esport is a big accomplishment. When Patiphan “Patiphan” Chaiwong won the Overwatch League’s Kickoff Clash with the Los Angeles Gladiators this past weekend, it was the first Overwatch title for a player coming off a successful VALORANT career.
