Players, for being some of the best of their cities, states, or countries, and hope Shout out every name here in detail, I can only congratulate all of these Some, like Awestin, merely lack major attendance to connect their incredible regional accomplishments to something definitively national in nature. YB and Wizzrobe are examples of the latter, while players like KEN and Maister are more on the inconsistent end of the spectrum. Simply dipped too low at points, while others are supported by one particularlyĮnergized run that could signal future successes.

May consider oddities on the rankings, but this can largely be explained by It typically releases at a different time that the PGR so as to avoid conflicts and often has its own quirks that separate it, such as the usage of a top 100 or different ranking periods. This should be clear by now, but this ranking is not at all affiliated with the PGR, and not intended as a competitor. Since this TTS uses a different methodology from the PGR, there are significant differences, such as Prime Saga being a supermajor, Collision being a major, etc. The TTS provides more detail, though the general idea is that category 5 are S-tier equivalents, category 4 are A-tier equivalents, and so forth, if we were to make comparisons to the PGR. Terms like “major” or “supermajor” will pop up frequently, and these are directly referring to category 4 events (majors) and category 5 events (supermajors), while “national” is a simplified term for superregional, category 3 events. Predominantly based on head to head records. Any events before or after this period were not used. Variation exists based on how stacked the event is, and an official list of events used is provided on the OrionStats TTS, for January 1 st to June 15th. The ranking was scored correctly but some writing has been edited due to my misunderstanding.Īs with previous years, the ranking gives players values based on their average placements, and then scores them based on set records. ![]() I believed it was June 2nd and wrote this as such, but it was actually June 16th. Methodology/OrionStats TTS LinkĮDIT: There was a miscommunication between Freeziebeatz & I regarding when the ranking period ended. There’s also our schedule for release – as we are avoiding competition with the PGR, we release at different times, allowing for player rankings during different periods that the official ranking. The focus of OrionRank has always been to be an independent ranking that uses materials we utilize to analyze the metagame (such as the TTS I will be linking) in order to shine a light on lesser known players or regions, hence the use of a top 100. As usual, this was announced by freeziebeatz on reddit and by myself on Twitter. Normally, we’d just to a top 50 or so for the halfway point of the year, but it was decided that we’d roll ahead with a top 100 for the first five months (and about mid-way into June) of Ultimate. The end of Smash 4, for hopefully obvious reasons, but Ultimate changed thatĪnd made a lot of people love postmelee Smash again. To continue OrionRank into Ultimate, but after a bit of mulling it over – and withĪ TTS available to work with – we decided it would be fine to keep producing
