Who would you consider the third best player?

I think it’s clear Yermak and Sergey are two best players (I guess you could debate who is better between the two, IMO it’s Sergey)

However I’m unsure who I would rank as third best.
There are many ways to ‘measure’ how good a player is and I think all those should be looked at when deciding. Of course not every player tried hard at everything so their results might not be their true showing of the skill but this is just for fun anyway.
What I look at is the obvious streaking/winrate. Along with that things like realtime and turncount speedruns are good expressions of skill. There are also conduct runs, such as Sergey’s no items win or the MuMo challenge. How much each category is worth probably depends on the person doing the evaluation. Also due to difference in versions it might be hard to compare results.

Players in contention for 3rd best:

My picks:
Manman, Flugkiller, Charly, Narz/Nargun, Booing/Mumonspawn/Fagentul

Some other notable players you might want to consider: Elliptic, Sapher, Acrobat, Dilly, Cosmonaut, Dynast, Enegeticocto, Tlatalgkaus, MalcolmRose, Forgeling, Iamserjio, Shummie.

Feel free to point out any other players I missed!

I don’t really have an opinion because I’m a couple of orders of magnitude worse than these folk, but I really love watching Dilly play. They play so fast it is hard to understand what they are doing sometimes, but I’ve learned a lot from them. Mainly to reset fights a lot more than I used to.

Edit: Also, Yermak hasn’t played in a few years I think. But they did sort of have tourneys on lock when they did play. So they’d be my number one just for that alone.

I would probably put Yermak first, just for that one tournament where he won a team competition as a one man team.

Also pedritolo probably deserves a mention. Some quite fancy runs there.

For my third best it would be elliptic, cause of seniority :).

Which tournament was that?

Pedritolo is one of the coolest players IMO but I didn’t include them here since they are basically dedicated to doing Ck runs lol

The one that exists only in my imagination, apparently :D. I was thinking of 0.25, but he got third there, not first. I stand by my placement still!
