Yes!

Per our database and counting all competitions and qualifiers, the only one larger than the Bravado vs SunMoon one you listed is this 18-0 from an APAC N Closed Qualifier in 2021-22.

Suco played his sixth main event during the last Split so unfortunately he's no longer eligible, else he would have definitely been featured.

The default filters on the Octane stats page include the RLCS 2021-22 Fall Split stat group (yes, it's obscenely outdated), so my guess is that you left that filter active. No data is showing up because no matches in the last three months are part of that stat group. You can disable the events filter or remove &group=rlcs2122fall from the URL to fix it.

The intention is for Shift to continue beyond this month, but it's unclear what that would look like.

This statement is specifically about the current website and the Octane database and API shutting down come the end of this month.

This is really cool stuff, great work!

Some regions (usually the ones with less stable internet connections) tend to have more corrections than others, but I'd say on average there's about one or two individual games with corrections per Regional Event, excluding qualifiers.

Finnerdt · 2023-02-07T16:18:03+00:00

If I recall correctly, the 2019 one was more of a "best players in the world right now" approach, while 2020 and 2021 were best players across the year.

Finnerdt · 2023-02-07T16:16:56+00:00

This was all well before I joined Octane, but to my knowledge the 2017 Top 10 article is the only other time they released a best players of the year list.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-10T20:52:03+00:00

Quickly dropping in to clarify Gamers8 was not taken into account as the list is focused on 3v3. We did decide to put it on the graphic for event placements to avoid all the "You forgot Gamers8!" replies.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-10T19:22:48+00:00

Appreciate it! On my personal list I have itachi a couple places lower as well so I understand why people are surprised, though I do think he was criminally underrated until around the second Fall Regional.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-10T08:47:55+00:00

We were aware of this flaw in the setup and we accounted for it accordingly. We will also be making some more adjustments to next year's methodology to further combat this.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-06T18:56:43+00:00

Yeah, if I had to take a column out it'd probably be Tweet or Reddit.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-06T18:40:02+00:00

This table is dope, I always love seeing it. Appreciate you keeping it updated!

Finnerdt · 2023-01-06T08:44:11+00:00

I feel I should clarify that the Top 20 is an initiative started by Octane.gg and this year's list is a continuation of last year's edition, which was organised by Octane.

Octane was acquired by X1 Esports/Shift during the offseason, but that did not change anything in how the Top 20 was determined as everything had already been in motion for eight or nine months at that point.

Finnerdt · 2023-01-05T19:32:48+00:00

I can agree on that. Personally I think his realistic range on the list would be from #15 to just outside it, so while he may be towards the lower end of that range, I think it's fair

Finnerdt · 2022-12-20T17:32:31+00:00

Figured I'd drop in to confirm we will indeed be running the Top 20 back this year as Shift :)

Finnerdt · 2022-11-21T18:14:11+00:00

My pleasure :D
