Personal life
[edit]Jonathan was born in Carbondale, Pennsylvania[5] in 1997 to Loretta Jablonowski. He has an older brother and sister and a twin sister. He is of Polish descent.[6] Moreover, he has enjoyed video games since the time he was four. During that period, his brother played games quite often. So, EliGE wanted to play the same games as his older brother and become better than him. He claims that this rivalry at a young age made him as competitive as he is today.
Jablonoski was the valedictorian at his High School and was named a scholar of the year.[7][8]
