Why TaZ ranks #106 in Esports
TaZ ranks 106th among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3571st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 92, Honours 82, Statistics 78. 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 2003–2021 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity 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 majors won 1, world championship titles 3, years at tier-one level 18, big event titles 22.
Immediately ahead sits Lasse "MATUMBAMAN" Urpalainen on 84.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Bae "Bengi" Seong-ung on 84.1. 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.
