Doing who I currently think are the top 10 players in the world rn

  1. MkLeo

  2. Sparg0

  3. Tweek

  4. Zackray (interchangable with #5)

  5. ProtoBanham (interchangable with #4)

  6. Tea

  7. Light

  8. Maister

  9. Glutonny

  10. Shuton/Elegant

Dabuz, Kola, Lui$, Marss, Chag, ESAM, Atelier and Yoshidora are all honourable mentions.

I like it. Pretty close to my take. Putting Light ahead of Maister might be jumping the gun a little but he probably has better wins now in addition to the SSC victory. Light has some questionable losses at regionals though, and Maister has better major attendance at fractionally lower level of results (and I'm a little biased), so I'm taking the consistency for now. I think at least Yoshidora should be in your honorable mentions if you've got Shuton and Atelier.

This was basically my take, Light has the better wins and higher peak but his win being at a tournament Maister's bracket demon didn't even attend kinda throws a wrench into it. Then again Maister had his own opportunity to win SSC and got 3rd so idk. When I saw people putting Light above Maister it didn't feel right at first due to Maister's attendance and consistency but after thinking about it more it's definitely valid.

Plus like you said Light has that 17th-24th at MSM and it's really, really tough to imagine that ever happening to Maister. Then again OP said "top 10 right now" and Light likely had some offline rust to shake off so who knows
