Solar has been around for quite a long time, first picking up the game in early alpha. While he’s certainly grown as a community leader he’s also steadily risen in skill. Surprising even himself, he was able to secure his most notable finish recently at CEO Dreamland by defeating Willby. That finish along with his other solid placings at RCS events has secured his spot in the top 50.

C9 Mang0 is a legendary SSB Melee player who has been known to dabble in Rivals of Aether from time to time. While he has not entered as many Rivals events, his results when he does compete are strong. He defeated PG Plup at Smash Summit 3 in a runback of the Rivals finals from Smash Summit 2. Mang0’s skills are proof that Smash skills do indeed carry over to Rivals, a trend also shown by players like PewPewU, SFAT, SmashG0d and Xaltis. Based on his experience and clutch factor, we think Mang0 could take a run at some of the top players in our game by putting in the time to grind.

One of the few notable solo Maypul mains, Nevereatcars is also a TO for the longest running community tournament series to date – the NCS. He brought his skill to bear during the RCS and fought his way onto the leaderboard, ending with a strong finish at Genesis 4. A fan of off the cuff and crazy tournaments, he’s the yin to TheFailWhale’s yang.

Mephiles is a skilled Absa main who is always improving. He has earned some impressive wins against players like TheDuoDesign, GamingClan and more. While he has fantastic online results, he can easily be found at local events due to his conspicuous choice of headware.

Allergic to Bullets has allergies to many things, entering tournaments under the guise of everything from “Allergic to Cannonballs” to “Allergic to Kragg”. Bullets can tangle with the bottom half of the top 50 just fine and has secured some great upsets. Now it’s time for him to put it all together and take first place at an event. He’s a fierce competitor in the WCS taking out the likes of Kenneth, Protagify, and others.

GamingClan has been a mainstay Zetter player throughout the online scene. He has a massive number of games under his belt, participating in as many NCS and CCS as he can. This practice has paid off by netting him wins against the likes of Failwhale, Heyodogo, and more. His win count is second only to Kisuno in the entire NCS.

TheBestAdamCarra is most known for his Rivals YouTube videos, but also plays a mean Maypul. He likes to focus on emulating top players’ techs and says that Ralph and Lz are his go tos for Maypul. Adam has placed well at several local events (G4 and Twitchcon) and will be traveling to Bigger Balc as well for the second season of the RCS.

Jesier is an east coast player with a propensity for high flying air based Rivals. Often making it deep into NCS brackets, I expect Jesier to start showing up big in season 2. Notable upsets include TheDuoDesign, Ceztellz, and Guyron.
