Why Universe ranks #63 in Esports
Universe ranks 63rd among Esports athletes on GOAT Rank and 3444th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 91, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 84. 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 2012–2021 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, which sets the Peak component at 91. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 91 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes the international titles 1, major titles 3, ti appearances 7, ti top-four finishes 4.
Immediately ahead sits Kang "GorillA" Beom-hyeon on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg on 85.7. 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.
