I've beaten everyone on the old tier 1 list and I've lost to almost everyone (or everyone) on the old tier 1 list - sometimes when I've just got random pugs, sometimes with a team. Zen makes a good point about player attitude in a tournament or more serious game though.
howboutnoooo - please add an UNRANKED section to the list and add DD-brandon_varn. We can discuss him and place him, then give him the opportunity to fight in an advancement match if he doesn't believe he's been ranked appropriately or wants to move on up.
I don't have time to nit pick and go through the whole list atm - here are the only people I'd put at tier 1 now, though.
TIER 1
- Boxxy_Koush
- RAWRRRRR
- Zen_God
TIER 2
- mcshane
- kalel
- pacov
- mithrandar
- abuggeredhedgie/awuffleablehedgie
- orcun
- zoahr
- 2nana (no eng though –plays well)
- Jongalt26
- Zex
- nomilarac
TIER 3
- Atma44x (atma is a really tricky call for tier 2, imo - but he really shined in the 2v2 tournament) - I don't think he can consistently play at the same level as the players in this list, but at his best, he fits tier 1... at his worst, tier 3. We could put him tier 3, but with a good teammate playing a 2v2, odds are he'd qualify for tier 2. (pacov note – moved atma to tier 3 – let him challenge and win to get into tier 2)
- eXXcentric
- irek1988/never-fuk-wit-a-oak
- Kitty007
- Kollecktir
- Ke5trel
- Thundercles
- Xynth
- Peterdumptruck
- Shred_demon
- Soccer-mom (same cat as atma to me – he can probably challenge and move on up to tier 2 quick)
- Jaws8you
- Celmare
- Karebears (might qualify for tier 2 – only got a few games with him here and there in the last month or so – challenge and move up to tier 2)
- Prozombie (he’s hit and miss – should fight to qualify tier 2)
- Brandon_varn
- Maccilia (mac’s improved a lot, but let him fight for hit tier 2)
- Lethstang
- LuftBR
- Obiwhan (obi can hang in tier 3 – let him fight to qualify for tier 2)
- STFNG (he’s close to unranked… plays well enough in the pugs I’ve been up against him – fight for tier 2)
- Ogham (let him fight for tier 2)
- Teseer (fight for tier 2)
- yeahneil
- doggu (good sense of strat, tries to co-ordinate team, but poor sport... ready to concede almost as fast as pete)
TIER 4
- fmlrommel (either a smurf or just someone that thinks they are good, but generally lacks the sense of a tier 3 or 2 player)
Unranked

spooky_ (haven’t played enough with lately)
Epiphenomenon (haven’t played enough with lately)
Amazing_Hero
Archon_SAAR (haven’t played enough with lately)
Lifekatana (inactive again?)
Alterschism (haven’t played enough with lately)
Iokke
NinkiCZ (its funny that I have to leave ninki unranked… he and I have played a total of like 1-2 games period – I assume he’s a good player and just gets bashed by a few of his former clan mates, etc)
Naur
Darz4
Esuzu
_illuminati_
I'd include trouser (possibly as tier 1), but I think he might be just about done with dg.
That's all I have time for. I'd like to be REALLY clear that I'd list more folks in tier 2, but I don't have the time atm.
EDIT - Please add SaulTigh to the unranked list as well, howbout
