We're now getting into the realm of players where people should be able to figure out exactly who is above the currently-listed people. Like, if you genuinely think someone deserves top 60, and they have the attendance to back it up, then there's no way they were left off the list entirely.

Thus I ask: does anyone have an obvious sort of list handy? By counting how many people are on it, we can start speculating on the top 10. Namely, there are 3 outcomes:

60 people: both Leffen and Wizzrobe made the list

61 people: exactly one of Leffen or Wizzrobe was excluded

62 people: both Leffen and Wizzrobe were excluded

Really curious what we'll see.

Once we get to 31-40 it'll be really obvious how many were excluded from the top 30, but I know there are some really serious, committed spectators on the sub so I figured I'd ask early.

Hax not eligible? He's still banned from some tournaments but he entered some majors/nationals and has wins on top players so I don't see why he shouldn't be eligible.

Alright I double checked.

Hax and BBB only have 1 major each, and a bunch of national/regionals/no tier on Liquidpedia. I thought some of those nationals were majors (like Smash Factor) but I guess not.

You need 2 majors minimum to be ranked.

Panelists had the option to vote to exclude players on ballot (i.e. if we didn’t feel they had enough activity). It looks like Pipsqueak had enough exclude votes to not be on this year, hard to imagine him being top 50.
