Notable Players (Old League)[]

Longtime player who has spent more time in the lead than almost anyone else, at times being over 400 points ahead. He retired months before the release of the new cards.
CardinalSmith[]
Won the first Kongai League. All his alts were in the top ten at some point, and became the third person to reach skill rank 50. He is currently 5th in the rank points list.
- Alts: FatherJohn, MustafaJr, CarlosSantiago, Interceptionist

- Alts: LordZaran, ShadowOfEternity, TafariTheTrapper
mysticpickle[]
Little is known about this player, as he/she once briefly held first place but has since fallen out of the top 10.
opposik[]
Another mysterious player. Opposik has moved up and down the top 25.
JonahMonty[]
Former #1, JonahMonty long contested the top spot with thegersh and Shadowinfinity but then disappeared, falling out of the top rankings.
garcia1000[]
garcia1000 was highly ranked for a very long time. He was able to get an alt to the top 10 using all random cards, and was the winner of Zakid's 2nd tournament. His proficiency with Tafari has lead to the name garciafari being used in relation to the character. According to David Sirlin, garcia1000 has been classified as a grandmaster troll.
- Alts: RandomDeck
Max_Vultur[]
One of the former main editors of the Kongai Wiki. Max_Vultur currently holds the most ranked wins and places at 3rd on the rank points list. He was also the 2nd player to reach SR 50. He was also the original editor to cashier CoMpLeTeDiSaSteR (as a cheater), who was later removed (and reinstated) by Lucero Impact.
grinchy[]
Another longtime holder of a top spot, grinchy has traditionally been one of the more quiet top players. He left the game and no longer holds a top 25 position.
dark100[]
One of the more enigmatic players, dark100 ascended to the #1 spot out of nowhere in one day, taking a 400 point lead over the previous leader. He held the position unchallenged for longer than anyone since before losing the spot and eventually dropping from the top 25 after a losing streak.
Kemmler[]
One of the original Kongai players and had one of the best win/loss ratios ever, at 867 wins to only 399 losses, whilst apparently being only 15 years old around the time. Pioneered the bench-hitting concept deck with Zina/Amaya/VV/Bestor and used it to reach SR 44.
Zakid[]
Zakid is well known among the Kongai community for his efforts in organizing tournaments, of which 18 have been held to date. He also won in his 6th and 11th tournament and was one of the organizers of the Kongai League.
EsIeX3[]
EsIeX3 is one of the main editors and is known for his work on the Kongai Wiki, and his blog. He also hosts YouTube videos of matches (under the name Paul Osunero), and has previously held a position in the top 25, as high as #2. He organized the third Kongai League.
Ooooog[]
Ooooog is one of the only moderators to play Kongai at a serious level, reaching as high a rank as second place.
Sefthuko[]
A self-described "master of alts," Sefthuko has no less than five (definitely many more) alternate accounts. If your opponent is rank 29 and has a Kongai-related name as well as an obviously-related picture to go with it, he/she is probably an alt of Sef. Sef tends to keep alts at rank 29 as it is the middle point of the ranked system, preventing the opponent from judging him to be neither good nor bad. In early December 2008, Sef was disappointed with Sirlin and/or the Janitor's Guild with the release of Kongai 1.12 as the alts "Ranked" and "Quickmatch" were rendered obsolete, having been replaced with "Play 3-card" and "Unranked" within the GUI. Sef has way too much time on his hands, as you can tell from the size of this description.
- Alts: Opponent, Unranked, Stalemate_Sucka, Ranked, Quickmatch
themrchook[]
Apart from the fact that themrchook had ascended to the top spot and has since fallen back down, nothing else is known about this player.
lawrence8[]
A player that started escalating the top 25 board out of nowhere, holding a position in the top 10 for a long time. He was the 1st person to reach SR50 and got it 3 times (he lost sr 50 twice when he tried to pass Max_Vultur in sr points) and he is currently 2nd in skill rank points. He also plays low tier characters (like ITG) to show that they are not as weak or underrated as they think they are.
- Alts: FrontCombat, TheGreatShark, fighter4ever
twoskinnydudes[]
Coming back from an absence, twoskinnydudes was the 4th person to reach sr 50. He also went back into rank a few times and lost his sr 50, regained it later and then lost it again.
ITG_321[]
A well known and top player among the Kongai community. He became the 5th person to reach skill rank 50 and is currently #1 on the rank points list. Like lawrence8, he also plays lower tier characters to show that lower tier characters can be usable.
bloodflash[]
One of the top players and has rarely been out the top 25, Bloodflash is a self proclaimed "Divine god" and makes sure to make his presence known. He is known for his less then average grammar and had quite a few runs a sr 50, but still hasn't attaining it on his main or his alts. He is also lightshaver younger brother and solarjin twin. He won the third Kongai League.
- Alts: Winterwave
solarjin[]
Also one the top players. He is just as arrogant as his twin, and shares his bad use of corrupted english grammar, but they are among the top great players of their time. Solarjin had had a few runs at SR 50 himself, but hasn`t attained it yet. He has been consistently around the top seven in skill rank for a while. He is also lightshaver younger brother and bloodflash twin. Solarjin and bloodflash sometime share their alts with each other. Solar mainly play on solarjin and flamebond account.
- Alts: Flamebond, Deltawing
lightshaver[]
A well known player for surprisingly not being in top 25 before. Known for 4 things. His love of bestor and porn, being related to bloodflash and solarjin, and playing well against top players. He rarely gets on his alts. lightshaver is also call pornshaver as a nickname (for obvious reasons).
- Alts: lordclown, Hazewolf, crossnail, rotono, TheShinyIdiot, Liquidhaze, gyrin, TribrideFerrijit
Cerberus_tm[]
One of the former main editors of the Kongai Wiki. The usual moderator in room #1 that makes sure to tell new players "Don't pick starter cards!" He is very well known among the Kongai community.
The Bottom Tier (Old League)[]
Killed_by_dante[]
One of the wost players in kongai, and a true retard in all aspects of his life, noteworthy in everything. He has reached skill rank 50 only through luck. He is truly a worthless person (like Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter).
CoMpLeTeDiSaSteR[]
Currently inactive/debarred from competition due to suspected cheating, as he supposedly farmed his way to SR 50 by playing and winning against one of his alt accounts (pro_status), and then farmed again to be first in the skill rank list when he was passed by lawrence8. Is possible he could still (legally) compete again due to the farming rule no longer being sanctioned. Was formerly the inaugural player cashiered into Kongai's Hall of Shame, to which said concept has since been replaced by the Bottom Tier and exonerated by Lucero Impact.
- Alts: pro_status, interceptre
Lordscamz[]
A 5-card player, he hacked many times the rank points' leaderboard to put himself #1 ( or boost his skill rank points), but was eventually busted and punished with one week of ban from Kongregate and with his rank points set to 0. He then reprised to play Kongai, but he's suspected of having cheated again.
Notable Players (New League)[]
Democroixion "Dice"[]
One of the newer editors who later ascended as a new Adminstrator of Kongai Wiki. He is commonly named "Dice" since solarjin came up with the name and calls him that all the time (because of his then avatar picture).
Lucero Impact "Speedwagon"[]
The other current, active Admin of Kongai Wiki. He initially was never a competitive player and was not active for long due to the lack of stiff competition he received from other players (or any kind of competition, in that matter, much like Yomi's Menelker or Street Fighter's Akuma) until 2022. He is reviving Kongai as a original fan fic in a crossover with his original characters The Mavericks. Currently an okay player.
- Alts:
jsu14076, TheQLord, Lucero Impact E, The Dr. from U.N.I.T. - Former Discord nickname Handles: Pot of Greed <Draw two cards>, Hank Oxbox <Pocket Sand!>, Sir Ching IV Kongai <I'll banish you to the Shadow Realm!>
Anonymouselbow[]
Host (and winner) of the first Kongai Tournament since its revival. One of two admins of the current Kongai Discord server "Searching for Kongai opponent ..." Watch this space here for future coolness!
Matrix4348[]
Spearhead figure of the Kongai revival, having created a script that can bypass Kongregate's Supernova player and use Adobe Flash instead (since Kongai is part Flash and part Web-built, thus making it difficult to emulate). One of two admins of the current Kongai Discord server "Searching for Kongai opponent ..." Got last place in the first Kongai revival tournament, but who cares! Watch this space here for future coolness!
The Bottom Tier (New League)[]
(Hopefully this stays empty)
