Clément "Clem" Desplanches (born April 8, 2002, in Nice, France) is a French professional StarCraft II player competing for Team Liquid. In 2024, he was named Esports Player of the Year by L'Équipe, France's leading national sports newspaper, following his victory at the Esports World Cup 2024 StarCraft II tournament, where he earned $400,000 in prize money by defeating Serral 5–0 in the grand final. Clément Desplanches was the subject of a biographical profile by Le Monde, France's newspaper of record, in February 2021, and is regarded as one of the most successful non-Korean players in the history of competitive StarCraft II. He plays the Terran race and is the only Terran foreigner to have won more than two individual Premier-level tournaments, with eight titles including a world championship. Clément Desplanches was born on April 8, 2002, in Nice, in the south of France. He began playing StarCraft II at around the age of 10, introduced to the game by his father Xavier, himself a strategy game enthusiast. Within six months of first playing, Clem had already reached the Master rank, placing him in approximately the top 2% of all players worldwide—a result his father described as "quite surprising at the time." He has described his attraction to StarCraft II in terms of individual responsibility: "I like to put my fate in my own hands and say: if I lose, it's because I played badly; if I win, it's because I played well. I like the one-on-one." Clem pursued his secondary education alongside his early esports career.
