5. JKap won two world championship titles (2015 and 2016) and made it to the final four times. This makes him one of the few players to have won two titles in a row. Only this year, on September 2, 2020, he announced his retirement and left his team OpTic Gaming Los Angeles. (Image Credit: OpTic Gaming Los Angeles via Twitter)

4. Scump has only won one world championship title (2017), but is one of the most talented players ever. He is considered to be the best SMG player in CoD and has achieved 27 tournament victories. He is probably best known for his time with OpTic Gaming LA, where he won the world championship. Currently, he is playing for the Chicago Huntsmen. (Image credit: EssentiallySports)

3. Clayster is one of three players with three world titles (2015, 2019, 2020), the last of which he won only this year with Dallas Empire. In 2015 he even managed to secure the MVP title. He is also known as a Grand Slam Champion, as he is one of the first players to win any kind of Call of Duty tournament. (Image credit: New York Subliners via Twitter)

2. Karma was the first Call of Duty professional with three World Championship titles (2013, 2014, 2017), which earned him the title of "3 Rings", as each title is rewarded with a ring. In Black Ops 2 days, he regularly led the leaderboards and had incredible killstreaks. Later on, he was considered a reliable player who always knew what to do, while others like Scump or FormaL took care of the kills. Karma already announced his retirement from the competitive scene in June 2020. (Image credit: OpTic Gaming Los Angeles)

1. Crimsix is also the owner of three world championship rings (2014, 2017, 2020), the last of which he secured together with Clayster while playing for Dallas Empire. Crimsix started his competitive career with Halo before switching to CoD during Call of Duty 4 and is still considered the CoD professional with the most wins. In total, he has collected 37 tournament wins - more than any other CoD player. (Image Credit: Dallas Empire via Twitter)
