Why Sean "seang@res" Gares ranks #194 in Esports

Sean "seang@res" Gares ranks 194th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3787th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 74, Statistics 84. 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 2008–2017 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major playoff appearances 2, big tournament titles 3, seasons played 10, teams captained 4.

Immediately ahead sits Gao "Tian" Tian-Liang on 80.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Mira on 80.4. 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.
