Often Jonathan's name is associated with many things. Sometimes people call him the best entertainer, and sometimes they even label him as a hacker. But if ever wondered what is the secret behind it all? Then let us reveal the mystery behind Jonathan and uncover the truth in brief.
The Legitimate Hacker
Back in 2019, as the craze for mobile esports was rapidly growing in India, the lobbies were intense and hard. Then one day, a player named "Jonathan" entered the lobby out of nowhere and started annihilating everyone. That etched the beginning of the saga of "Hacker-Jonathan." The main reason behind this label was Jonathan's mind-blowing close-range gameplay and his ability to trace opponents through smoke, which was a rare sight back then. Although people gradually started to learn about his capabilities, it was Ghatak who first identified Jonathan and introduced him to the world.
After joining Ghatak's team, Jonathan absolutely dominated the lobbies, and it was Entity's triumph at PMCO 2019 that gave him the proper recognition. Post that tournament, Jonathan continued his dominance and with TSM joining hands with Entity, Jonathan's name went global. With back-to-back killer performances, TSM Entity's domination grew and many international organizations started to recognize Jonathan. However, his rampage was halted by a game ban. To the utter disappointment of his fans, Jonathan was unable to replicate his previous gameplay when BGMI was launched in India several months later.
Reinventing Himself
Whenever the esports scene in India started to look bright, we were slammed with game bans and suspensions. Due to these reasons, many esports athletes like Jonathan decided to focus more on the entertainment aspect. Ever since Jonathan started to livestream, people started getting closer to him for two reasons, One was his hacker-level gameplay and second was his charismatic attitude.
Surprisingly, along with his gameplay, people also got to witness Jonathan's positively radiating persona on stream. His on-screen bonding with teammates and friends was infectious, and he occasionally did fun challenges that were loved by the audience. Just when people started thinking that Jonathan couldn't be anything more than an athlete, he reinvented himself as a content creator.
