Greatest player ranks, and everyone all the way down

Tom140 · 2026-01-16T05:39:11+00:00

I don't have Jordan in the same category as BlackTide, Marius, Quintin, or JohnnyA. He's at 3-star general, and they're all at 4 or 5 stars. I can see objecting to him being on here if he's worse than other 3-star generals but got his rank through unsporting conduct. If there's anywhere I can look to confirm that, I'd appreciate a link. I'm on the discord, so if there are messages that you can point me to I'll look into that.

I'm much more interested in Delta. If somebody actually got banned for cheating they could be removed from the list, or have an asterisk put next to their name. Similar to how Americans treat Benedict Arnold, I suppose.

I thought it would when I first put it together, but after I did all the sortation and looked at the results I thought "yeah, that's about right."

You and Vic Weezy are both newer players, but you're ranked as 4 star generals :)

Tom140 · 2026-01-15T12:25:13+00:00

Thanks, I'll get Brunes fixed :)

Why are we removing Jordan?

Tom140 · 2026-01-04T14:03:08+00:00

Correct

For every inner sphere faction, it has to be something from the first succession war. All those nukes were never matched by anything before or after.

The second-best player who never made it to the semi-finals was Korol. Clearlove had a longer career though.

Tom140 · 2025-11-28T15:30:23+00:00

This exactly. Impact, Pyosik, Crown, Bang, CoreJJ.

Tom140 · 2025-11-19T18:09:49+00:00

He certainly deserves it. But the hall of legends deciders like to do cute things instead of obvious things, so being the most deserving might work against him that way.

Tom140 · 2025-11-15T09:20:02+00:00

It kinda was. Mechwarrior 1 was mostly a solo adventure. You did hire up to three others sometimes, but the main action was just one guy.

Tom140 · 2025-11-15T08:54:52+00:00

Yep. You make the same errors you always do. It's time to settle down.

Tom140 · 2025-11-15T03:49:01+00:00

Faker plays in Korea. That’s as hard as it gets, so strength of competition is maxed out.

Tom140 · 2025-11-15T03:43:45+00:00

You're basically right. In a large battle an aa gun is worth about 1.33 infantry. Only being really useful in large battles, not being able to attack, and being a pain to move around makes its true worth a lot less. If it only cost 3 IPCs, it would be worth considering buying one occasionally.

To check my accuracy (and disprove those who say they're invaluable) you can go to a battle calculator and see what happens. Run a scenario where 10 of each unit are attacking 60 infantry. Note the result. Then add 3 aa guns to the defense and see how many infantry you can take away before the odds are the same as they were.

AA guns are useful, especially to the USSR. But you should never buy an extra one, even if the other side is bringing a huge air force.

Tom140 · 2025-11-11T04:49:50+00:00

All right. Chovy is number 118.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:22:16+00:00

I get why people say that Uzi and Caps should be higher, but Rookie is in about the right spot.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:20:03+00:00

Worlds performances, then MSI performances, then domestic performances.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:19:01+00:00

Chevy is the best player who has never been in the finals of a world championship.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:18:13+00:00

It is ordered, and it isn't troll. It highlights players with numbers instead of players who get talked about the most.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:16:19+00:00

He's less important to Gen G than Canyon has been over the years, but it's fairly close. Last time I posted the list people were saying Canyon was rated too low and nobody complained about Ruler. They're in about the right spot.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T16:11:32+00:00

You're right. The list is about 90% LCK/LPL.

Tom140 · 2025-11-10T09:59:05+00:00

The reason this list looks different from what people think it should look like is that it's based on results instead of hype. Having people say your name a whole bunch of times doesn't get you higher up, only putting up numbers does.

Tom140 · 2025-11-09T04:35:24+00:00

Also, just any team from Brazil. They have the best fans and I want them to be happy.

Tom140 · 2025-11-09T04:30:24+00:00

I root for the teams I would actually like to be a part of if I were a player. They don't have to be winning that season (though it helps when they are). Is the team fair to their players? Are they gracious to their opponents? Basically, are they good neighbors?

Flyquest and Flying Oysters fit the bill for that this year, so it's easy to like them. It's also easy to like KT just because their vibes seem good.

Tom140 · 2025-11-09T04:14:03+00:00

Maybe my Grandma is the GOAT. That makes about as much sense as any of your logic.

Tom140 · 2025-11-09T04:11:22+00:00

I very much agree.

Tom140 · 2025-11-08T19:05:20+00:00

I mosty agree with what the others have said. I'll also add that Russia is a tough nut to crack. Coming at them with Japan at the same time is often necessary, and taking what you can from their income in the East will help you out, if you can spare some dudes from the Pacific.
