Why device ranks #5 in Esports
device ranks 5th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 731st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 90. 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 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes majors won 4, big events won 30, hltv top-20 placements 9, hltv no. 1 rankings 1.
Immediately ahead sits Lee "Flash" Young-ho on 91.3, a gap of 3.9 points. Directly behind is Nikola "NiKo" Kovač on 86.4. 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.
