Why Rookie ranks #14 in Esports
Rookie ranks 14th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 866th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 76, Statistics 82. 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 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 1, lpl titles 2, worlds appearances 6, all-pro selections 8.
Immediately ahead sits Marcelo "coldzera" David on 84.7, a gap of 3.3 points. Directly behind is Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi on 80.3. 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.
