Why Deft ranks #11 in Esports

Deft ranks 11th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 825th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 78, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Esports reference universe of 339 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2013–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 1, lck titles 1, worlds appearances 7, career kills 4000.

Immediately ahead sits Puppey on 81.9, a gap of -0.7 points. Directly behind is Johan "N0tail" Sundstein on 82.4. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
