Why Josef "faveN" Baumann ranks #207 in Esports
Josef "faveN" Baumann ranks 207th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3838th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 72, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Esports reference universe of 326 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2016–present with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes big tournament titles 4, major appearances 6, seasons played 10, career maps played 1500.
Immediately ahead sits Guy "NertZ" Iluz on 79.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Patrick "es3tag" Hansen on 79.0. 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.
