From my experience in this year..
1.ExGon (yeah far away.)
2.Motion (he did a lot of things this year.)
3.Dusk (DT god, #3 just because not so active this year>>he could be #1 or #2 really.)
4.[224]Hyperw7 (HR god.)
5.Asriel (too op.)
6.Ttobas (Best TAG4&AR8 DT player for me.)
7.b-a-d-s123 (HD SS God.)
8.Kyptoric (Legend.)
9.Abstract (DT AR9 monster.)
10.mjj741 (SS and spin god)
11.itsy_v2- [One of the best players in long Convert maps(5*)]
12.Habin (FL God, yeah he did probably the hardest thing but it's a general vote.)
13.Chara (AR+9.5 converts too op combo.)
14.Intensity [Champion
#14 just because not so active this year.]
15.Deceitful [Best HD SS (Spinner) besides DreStar.. Really impressive convert records.]
16.noraRcat [No-Mod SS op.)
17.Sousaki (what a legend.. #17 just because not so active this year>>he could be around 10.)
18.Setomi (too strong in high AR.)
19.ArMa79 (One of the best recent players, just wait for him..)
20.DreStar [how can I explain this?! (Still underrated.)]
My vote for what people gain in 2016,
not by their own skills.
I know, I miss some people, it's really hard to do a perfect list.
I want to put jongwon12 and Emiru too
I didn't include Fantasy and Kumirei(Badis) in my vote as their request.I suggest to put a honorable mentions :S
