Don't agree with that. Terror and Error are very slow and both are/were 2k2+

+1 and there are new players who are closing in to the expert level and pushing to 2200.Alright. I have been reading this kind of posts from long time ago. I think it's time to tear down that myth.

All of them from 2250 to 2500+. Most of them playing 1v1 daily. Don't take me wrong, this list is not my personal "ranking", it's just the order of players that came to my mind right now. And I'm probably forgetting some more. I could even add Jordan, Abu, Wrath, Stark, Goku because they are inactive just from 1 year ago and they might return to aoc anytime.
So, we have 22 very top/expert players. And it would be 27 if I added the inactive ones. And if I also add the 2100 players the list would increase to 40+ guys.
Now tell me: Where is the competition "lower than ever"? I'd rather say that the level is actually higher than ever. The nostalgia just makes us believe that any past time was better than the present. Which is not true. Today when I got home at noon and logged in voobly I saw 4 rooms with 2000-2200+ as title. Every room with a game being played. And just 1 year ago we had the best 1v1 tournament since CoT (I'm talking about the one with a trip to maldives, I don't remember the name) which had the largest amount of top-expert players I have ever seen in a tournament.
And there was also a 1v1 arabia tournament this year which had a large amount of top players involved as well. Even the masters of arena 3 had a lot of big names.
Isn't this good enough for you guys?
edit: I wrote WiC instead of CoT.
Terror has more games than any human alive, maybe even more than Alive,
