Why Lee Young-ho ranks #7 in Esports

Lee Young-ho ranks 7th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 736th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 92, Peak 94, Longevity 76, Honours 90, Statistics 92. 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 2007–2016 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, 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 starleague titles 6, proleague titles 7, golden mouse awards 1, career win rate (%) 71.

Immediately ahead sits Nikola "NiKo" Kovač on 86.4, a gap of -2.4 points. Directly behind is Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut on 89.0. 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.
