Why Gao "Tian" Tian-Liang ranks #193 in Esports
Gao "Tian" Tian-Liang ranks 193rd among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3779th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 80, Statistics 82. 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 2017–present with 8 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 world championship titles 1, lpl titles 2, world championship appearances 2, lpl finals 3.
Immediately ahead sits Xizt on 80.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sean "seang@res" Gares on 80.4. 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.
