Why Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg ranks #26 in Esports
Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg ranks 26th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3312th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 2013–present with 14 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 major titles 5, the international top-four finishes 3, seasons played 12, career prize money in millions 3.
Immediately ahead sits Lu "Maybe" Yao on 87.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Benjamin "blameF" Bremer on 87.6. 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.
