I agree, but sub Villese for theViepr and zuppi for theYo. Finland = WinlandA TheViper/TheMax/TheYo team would be unbeatable in 3v3.

3rd will be Mbl or Vivi i think. Both playing strong this year and lots of games.
I just can't understand TheMax with such a high %. I know he have a lot of knowledge about the game, and he plays and excelent tg (but mostly only when he plays with finland and can boom quietly and then destroy). In 1 vs 1 he is rarely top 5 or top 10 and doesnt plays versus the top 10 to much.. Is it just because of the fanhype people have from him because of the mysterious man behind the barbarian?

His last 5 1v1 opponents: Vinchester 2.3k, Yo 2.5k, Zuppi 2.4k, Riut 2.4k, Bact 2.5k, Daut 2.5k. He actually plays almost no games against players outside top-20 unlike most active 1v1 guys.In 1 vs 1 he is rarely top 5 or top 10 and doesnt plays versus the top 10 to much..
When he even plays games without Finland? Certainly not any seriously taken games. And why should this matter? If you look players in team Finland and compare them to other top teams, with all respect to Villese, Zuppi and Rubenstock, Max surely ain't getting carried by all-start teammates.and he plays and excelent tg (but mostly only when he plays with finland and can boom quietly and then destroy).
That one seems pretty accurateIf its 1v1 then MBL
If TGs then Max
If both combined then Yo
Calling some bs here:

This is also big reason why you won't see him at 2k5 2k6 1v1 rating. He would either need to play much more rated 1v1 (because you can never get up there by winning 6/10 against top guys unless you play **** tons of games to make that margin matter) or farm points from those B-category 2k-2.3k players like you see vivi, mbl, viper etc. doing.

Really can't see why you feel necessary to downplay TheMax with flawed arguments. Is it because you are not familiar with him?
Certainly you can't if you give big value to 1v1 rating without trying to read through its flaws.I see i hurted someones feelings here... I also saw Max's 1 vs 1 on his profile, he plays 3 series a month versus someone. I don't deny he is a very skilled player! even top 10 easily, But by no means he is 3rd of the world at this moment in MY opinion. I don't try to downplay him. But looking to his results at the ELO (from last year, and that is almost never top 5) and the tournaments (last year, almost never top 5) and then comparing him to the names on that list who get results, and who are on the top and play those big names almost daily, i just can't see what arguments would make him 3rd.
Viper winning stuff non-stop
Lierey 2nd KOTD, 2nd NAC
after that MBL was in a better position than him most of the time.. (T90 Smurf Cup, Legacy of Huns...)
Yo & Vivi strong, got some 2nd Places.. but this year is a mess, lot of invitationals, lot of small series, or 'incomplete" ones, (Viper plays ECL 1V1.. mbl doesn't... and in the next one we switch those...) so hard to tell
From early 2018, give it to Liereyy, from late 2018, give it to MbL.
Overall, **** you all.
Yes, because LoTH and some two day Smurf cup event should be weighted equally with KOTD and NAC.
Good grief.
Maybe they are not exactly equal (as if anything ever is), but with that same tone someone else might ask if some friendly lan drunk cup with only 6 players should be weighted equally to hidden cup?
LoTh can't meaure Lierey (who didn't play) or Viper who tried "out of meta" Strats, but it's enough to Settle MbL > Yo/Vivi.Lierey didn't even compete in LoTH2. It's a silly way of weighting the events, IMO
This calls for a new COT 6person round robin
