Why Hong "MadLife" Min-gi ranks #43 in Esports
Hong "MadLife" Min-gi ranks 43rd among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3389th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 82, 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 2012–2019 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes regional titles 2, world championship appearances 2, seasons played 8, all-star appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov on 86.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Go "Score" Dong-bin on 86.7. 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.
