Running an [card]Imp-losion[/card] and [card]Sea Giant[/card] zoo deck, Sebastian "Xixo" Bentert of ROOT Gaming became the first player to hit the achievement.
Those who follow competitive Hearthstone or like to visit Twitch.tv for some good hours of Hearthstone streaming know the name Xixo well. The German player has the habit of rushing to legend at the start of every season, aiming for a "season first" accomplishment and is known for his long streaming sessions before it's done.
This month, Xixo decided to up the challenge and sprint to #1 legend... on all three servers. Although players like Kolento are known to the community for playing on multiple servers and climbing to the very top, Xixo's aim was to hit all three #1 simultaneously.
The first #1 was secured on December 15. After losing in NESL, the German storms the NA ladder and beats FrozenIce for the coveted spot.

For the next few days, Xixo's position in the ladder fluctuated but not at all dramatically and by December 18th, he was still holding the #1 on NA. The very same day, he also claimed #1 in Europe in a single streaming session. His next tweet announced that the ladder king will be moving to Asia.
Just climbed from #300 to #1 in one streaming session on eu. Got both #1's now!

For the next few days, Xixo had to climb on the Asian server all while defending his spot on the other two ladders. A few hours ago, the quest was completed: ROOT's powerhouse became the first player to achieve triple ladder crown.
Did it, #1 EU, #1 NA, #1 Asia! First to achieve that ;). @PlayHearthstone pic.twitter.com/sBMKB237GZ

While Xixo's ladder accomplishment is certainly noteworthy, this is not all that the German has achieved. Currently ranked #6 in Europe and #12 in the World on the GosuRankings, Xixo holds the gold medal from the DKMR Cup and Eizo Invitational as well as a top four finish in SeatStory Cup #2.
