There's like no excitement this year for the top 20. The three top performers this year are all within 0.01 rating of each other, and have had all won ONE big event. C9 had IEM dallas. Zywoo had EPL. S1mple had Blast Spring Final. IEM Dallas would be perhaps counted a bit lower than EPL and Blast, but he also has 0.01 higher rating. The top 3 are basically gonna be like flipping a coin a few times. If any of their teams manage to win Blast World Final, then they will be #1.
#1-3: s1mple, Zywoo, sh1ro, any order basically
#4: most likely BlameF, considering his actual stats throughout the year
#5: Ax1le, better big events rating than NiKo, and one event win
#6: NiKo
#7: stavn, cracked performances, won blast
#8-10: broky, ropz, Twistzz, in that order (I'm a broky hater, but he popped off sometimes)
#11:probably KSCERATO, had good placements in major and other events
#12:m0nesy, no event wins, good rating, but had pretty inconsistent performances
#13: rain, great event wins, decent rating
#14: elec, had to switch to IGLing which dropped his impact
#15: Hobbit, always love my boy
#16: YEKINDAR, cracked entry fragger
#17: b1t, really fell off after his first year, maybe got too overconfident after 2021
#18: Spinx is based
#19: frozen, cracked, only good player on MOUZ, but barely got anywhere
#20: no idea, maybe Syrson
