There are few players who have influenced me, but I will admit that 3 players have had a significant impact on my game play. In no particular order, Olivia/Flo'am/Syoma(he gave me his names btw), Spurs/Lord Venkman, and Diavola/Pvesucks have had the most impact on who I am as a player. I've basically taken what I learned from them and applied it to my own play style. Olivia taught me that playing with your instincts is key, don't just play in the moment, but anticipate your opponents actions. Spurs has always been the most aware player in the game. Target selection and map/objective awareness is what I learned from him. Diavola has always stressed how important strats are, you have to have a plan, and you have to be able to adapt if something isn't going as planned. These guys are the greatest players/mentors of all time.
Shoutout to Lord Xavuy for being literally the best player in the game.
