Why Nine ranks #217 in Esports
Nine ranks 217th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3875th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 84, Longevity 78, Honours 70, Statistics 86. 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 2015–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 84. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes premier tournament wins 2, major appearances 3, career rating 1.09, seasons active 11.
Immediately ahead sits Tarik on 77.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Rich on 77.7. 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.
