Cookiezi - Solid as ever, best player of 2011 hands-down. Nothing much to add.

White Wolf - Made significant improvements after he switched to tablet, he already had the fingers so it was predictable. A couple of unbelievable records. His skill level slightly fluctuates, which results in several Godlike records and other disappointing ones.

SiLviA - Unbeatable Hidden accuracy, best mouse player to play this game yet. His style of alternating fingers on every note enables him to DoubleTime maps with over 200 BPM, which is something no other player can do.

Rucker - Best player of the first owc. Speaking in terms of Hidden+HardRock accuracy, Rucker at his best is unsurpassed, not even by Cookiezi. His play in general is superb, particularly his streaming. Had he overcome his problem with long streams, he could have been #1 at some point during 2011.

KRZY - I shamelessly vote myself as one of the top ten players of 2011. Solid records with all modes, particularly DoubleTime. I feel I was once up there at top 3 after Cookiezi and Rucker in the beginning of 2011--but gradually was passed by SiLviA and White Wolf. Before July 2011, if a beatmap had only two DoubleTimes on it, most likely the two people were Cookiezi and KRZY.

Reisen Udongein - Korea's best Hidden-HardRocker, which is a huge deal. One player that could have improved endlessly with faster fingers. A very steady and patient player, you would expect him to take a Hidden+HardRock #1 if he has put more than 200 playcounts into it.

SnowWhite - Although he rarely played, when he did, hvick was there to show that the king of Taiwan has not yet stepped down. His accuracy with Hidden on tricky maps were superb as well as his ability to not miss. Gradually regained his place in the top tier as the year went on.

Flute - If Hidden mode did not exist in osu, Flute would be considered in the same tier as Cookiezi, Rucker, and White Wolf. His obsession with, and mastery of, HardRock mode is beyond human. Also one of the rare players who can DoubleTime maps up to 220BPM.

Ignacio - One of the most underrated players during the latter half of 2011. His work on several approved maps proved that he can FC maps only a handful of people can. A beast when it comes to no modes as well as a power to be reckoned with DoubleTime and HardRock.

Remilia-Scarlet - The player with the fastest streaming speed in osu. His accuracy is in the same tier with SiLviA, and he more than covers up his inept cursor moving with his monstrous finger speed. Also very good at Flashlight, which means he can take just about any #1 if he wishes to.
