General Info
As some time has passed and considering how small the Portuguese CTB community is I thought it would be fun to share each other's personal lists of our top 10 Players of all time. Make sure to post your own below!
Rules
You're not allowed to include yourself in the list.
Considering that JungYeon is a non-pt multi-acc please refrain from putting him in your list.
My List
1. Buffow
2. uwu
3. SoulEater
4. gold801
5. PTrollYO
6. [224] Bell
7. DemiGod Yoxide
8. N1tro321
9. Tuga1768
10. Nicolexd13
My Reasoning
Here is a summary for why I placed my picks the way I did:
1. Buffow is easily the best hidden player Portugal has ever had. He has performed at the forefront of the Portuguese ranking and tournaments since 2015 with Air and Tris. He has had the PT #1 ranking for longer than anyone else. Excellent convert player. I don't really think I have to explain this placement
2. uwu for a long time has always been a deceptive #2 of PT. Often uninterested in high star maps and playing the game however he can find enjoyable has an amazing consistency in the game through lots of practice with low and high star maps. The most consistent player PT has ever seen and also an excellent convert player. Don't let his ranking fool you.
3. Now you might wonder why I placed #7 PT in the 3rd spot above players who have performed better than Soul for years. The reason is because Soul is the only PT player to have reached the top 100, has had the 2nd longest #1 reign in PT. And has had the most dominant #1 ranking for his time. Even Buffow's reign or Edward Elric's reign (back in the day) look pale before his performance in early osu. Still till this day he has scores from almost a decade ago on maps that PT top players can't replicate easily.
4. Gold will probably dislike me for saying this but gold801 is the best farmer Portugal has ever seen. Although a relatively new player, there isn't a single soul in PT that has been able to climb the ladders as he was able to. Not only did gold make his life difficult by playing many maps with PF but he also got very close to becoming #1 of PT. He also holds the highest amount of PP in convert maps in Portugal till this day. (Edit: Not anymore, cus I took it lel)
5. Aaaah PTrollYO how we all love him. One of the players who during Edward Elric's reign challenged him even though there was a huge difference in performance points but actually backed up his words with constantly improving plays. There have been time he has passed both Tris and uwu in PP and overall a solid player.
6. Now most people might go "[224] Bell? Why not yoxide?". Bell or also know as Funy, has been playing for a long time on and off. Similar to PTrollYO but before his time challenged Edward Elric and made impressive progress. He has often been part of the top 5 in PT for many years, although very spread out, but I think that deserves the spot that he's in.
7. DemiGod Yoxide, currently in the top 5 of Portugal due to PTrollYO's inactivity and also relatively new player. For new players the bar has been set a lot higher than what it used to be but that didn't stop Yoxide from trying. And that he did. Yoxide has been steadily climbing over the last years, although on and off. Currently switching into hidden due to his injury but hopefully once that is recovered we'll see much more from him.
8. N1tro321, probably the only convert-only PT player that is relevant. Nitro has stuck to converts-only but has still managed to climb the PT by consistently getting high 200pp convert scores that even for some of the top players is hard to achieve. Although his ranking hasn't been the highest in PT his convert plays are noteworthy for him to be #8
9. Tuga is one of the oldest the player on this list just behind SoulEater. He mainly played actively in 2012/2013 and a little bit in 2016. He then was able to come back in 2018 and somehow perform amazingly well and climb the national rankings quickly and proved that he still had in him and looked to be joining the top 5 at the speed he was going. Unfortunately his momentum slowed down and after 2018 has become inactive.
10. Nicolexd13 has had a similar climb as Tuga although a newer player from 2017. He quietly played during 2017 and 2018 but boomed during the beginning of 2019. He still remains in the top 10 of PT due to this climb.
Honorable Mentions
Currently Hiroto and RockMitic look promising in their current progress. Especially Hiroto's progress has been the biggest in PT so far. And I'm hoping to see both of these players to join this list somewhere in the future.
That was everything. I hope you guys enjoyed the list and my reasoning and I'm looking forward to your list and your thoughts!
