@StartGG
! This tier list was formed by 70 of the top 100 players from around the globe! Any predictions?
Smash is an international game, and we wanted to highlight the highest ranked players from some of the less mainstream scenes in the game. Hopefully we get to see them shine on the international stage in the future!
Regarding Steve in the 2024.1 Season:
Last time you heard from us regarding this topic, we said we would be back early October with a decision. Apologies for the delay, as the process took longer than expected. Steve banned events will still be counted for the 2024.1 season, andโฆ
We would like to start off with a special shoutout to our honorable mentions! These players had results comparable to the top 50 players, but didn't quite make the attendance threshold to get ranked. We look forward to what they do in the second half of the year!
Genesis X, USA's first premier event of the year, has its registration closing tomorrow night! A good portion of the best in the world are attending this prestigious event. If you want to take them on then make sure to register!
Edit: Blue names are confirmed going
Time to kick-off the top 50 reveal! First up is 41-50, featuring a mix of returning talent who made names for themselves post quarantine, and new rising stars who broke into the upper echelon this year! Check it out in the article linked below!
The TTS is now updated with the full top 150 values + new PR values. As our priority was mainly top 50, we are releasing the rest in tiers due to both the nature of how close players were and only a half year of data.

As it's been about two months since the PMLG bounty was created, during which time we received zero serious submissions, we are declaring the PMLG bounty expired.
We still have yet to receive any submissions of PMLG being using in offline bracket. We are now increasing the bounty for the first valid submission to $100. See the original thread for details.
We are proud to announce that UltRank and Luminosity are creating a partnership to form LumiRank! Here is our release schedule for the upcoming Mid-Year 2023 ranking. We also will be kicking off today with Honorable Mentions and

That was quick.
@KAGARIBI_smash
is the 3rd event this season to get the highest tier an event can achieve, premier! A ton of top Japanese talent will once again attempt to fend off invading global players at this staple event.
Unfortunately due to multiple DQs, Battle of BC 6 has dropped from supermajor (S) to major status (A+). Holding a major is still an impressive feat for any tournament to achieve, and we wish all competitors good luck this weekend.
Get ready for the next battle!
