1. Cookiezi - His special grip and tapping style allow him to have unrivaled acc and aim, and his ability to stream is out of this world, as shown in his HDHR fc on freedom dive and HDHR choke on time freeze, solidifying him as #1
2. AngelMegumin - His ability to Alternate and his crisp mouse aim allowed him to make unreal DT plays, such as Tsuknami and Kimi no Pierrot. Even if he did quit, he will be remembered
3. Rustbell/Totori - His unique skill set along with his ludicrous consistency allows him to carry in tournaments, and make nutty plays. He was able to completely carry China to the finals of OWC, only faltering to USA in the grand finals.
4. Vaxei - The speed which he can aim is pretty much unrivaled, but his nerves prevent him from dominating the leaderboards. He has the best DT fc on Gangsta, and was able to pass Airman HDDTHR, which used to be "impossible"
5. Toy - He is the definition of a "jack of all trades" except he's a master at all. He as able to do difficult HDDT and HDHR plays, when most people are only able to do one of those 2. His reading on technical maps is also one of the best. His consistency is also amazing, helping USA win OWC for 2 years in a row.
6. GN - This dude is the most niche player in the game, being especially good at things like EZ and FL, technical reading and old maps combined. He fced Cry Thunder EZ, and got a very high combo on Uta EZ... In the middle of a tournament.
7. Rafis - In the beginning of the year, he was insane, however, he kinda fell off from the competition from number 1, and stopped playing for rank. He still is very good, being able to pass big money HR, and made many HDDTHR scores.
8. Filsdelama - He is basically the 2nd best HDDTHR player, only behind Rafis. Many of his plays match him, and some even surpass him. His DT isn't shabby either, being able to compete with the best on scores like Dream Solister DT, and A remote control choke.
9. Spare - Coming out of nowhere, Spare was able to storm the leaderboards, and quickly got himself into the top 10 with many, many HDDT scores. Sadly, he is much more known for his drama than he is known for his skill
10. Ming3012 - Infamous for his insanely low acc, Ming is actually one or the best players, being able to fc ridiculous things, and do it while purposely getting 50/100s. Oh, did I mention he has the highest pass on any osu map, at 21 stars?
