40. Mr. Mutton
Mr. Mutton has been an upcoming threat for what seems like far too long, but in reality, he has only been playing the game since 2019. Mr. Mutton and his methodical Forsburn hail from Indiana, where he has entered all four online RCS events in Season 6. His exponential improvement has him scored wins over CakeAssault, Death By Hugs, and more while never placing below 33rd at a major. Mr. Mutton has recently cemented himself as one of the fiercest Pomme players coming into Season 7, making him a dangerous dual-threat as we kick off the new year.
“Up air is not a kill move.”
39. Ahntye
Ahntye is an Ori main and community leader from California. Ahntye has had a goal to make the Top 50 list for 3 years now, with mentality and hand problems as huge hurdles to overcome to land at 39 this season. Ahntye’s impressive run at RCS Melody ended at 9th place with wins over Tanko and AdamGMAJ. Playing Rivals and running events are considered Ahntye’s lifeblood, providing extremely technical gameplay while fostering a community to boot.
“Flex’s Disciple.”
38. OoDa
OoDa is one of the flashiest Clairen’s in the game, showing significant improvement from Season 5, moving up 10 full spots in the rankings. OoDa’s best performance of Season 6 came at RCS Melody, where he placed 13th by taking down CRSDCrusader and Yeggy along the way. Season 6’s Riptide was the first offline major for OoDa, following which, he then attended Heat Wave 4 and Genesis 8 where he collected wins against Ahntye and Breadstick with a hunger for more. OoDa aims to continue his improvement in offline settings and earn Top 8 at a major in Season 7.
“God, it’s so hard being so good at everything when my brain feels like a backpack with how heavy it is.”
37. Tanko
Tanko is an Ohio Etalus with an impressive track record in the online side of the RCS in Season 6. Tanko collected wins on the likes of TacocaT, Giga Bowser, Zora, Shotti, and more while placing 33rd or better at every online event they entered. Tanko’s losses in online events were solely to Top 50 players and Hidden bosses from RCS Season 6. Tanko looks to ride the momentum for this season and to push the Etalus meta in RCS Season 7 to a whole new level.
“DM me for games.”
36. Wai
Wai is a Ranno main from California with an appreciation for local events. In Season 6, Wai attended all three local RCS Majors with notable wins over players such as Chompers and Rottweiler. Wai’s tournament runs were often some of the most exciting sets we have seen, with four of six losses ending in game 5 scenarios. We look forward to Wai’s aspiration of attending even more local events in Season 7.
“You’re never minus if you’re not a *****.”
35. Giga Bowser
Giga Bowser is a New York Sylvanos who attended five of seven RCS events in Season 6, placing 17th in every single one of them. Giga Bowser’s consistency can be seen both locally and online, where he collected wins against the likes of Darai, Yeggy, Syzygy and more along the way. Giga Bowser has recently been playing a lot of our newcomer, Hodan, and promises to bring out the dangerously funny monkey in Season 7.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
34. Spyker
Spyker is an old school Forsburn from California, known for his unique punish game and high precision execution. Spyker is a music composition major and aspiring college professor with a love for teaching and seeing friends at local events. Season 6 appeared to be a breakout year for Spyker, placing in the Top 24 at four out of five events this year, with Genesis 8 being his best placement yet at an offline major. Spyker is looking to keep the results coming in Season 7 as local Majors begin to pop up more and more.
“Be you, unabashedly so. Unwavering and unflinching in your aspirations.”
33. Akashi
Akashi is a New York Absa known for his dedication to streaming and commentating while remaining a high level threat at every event he enters. Akashi collected wins on the likes of AdamGMAJ, Darai, Sawtooth, and many more while attending six of the seven RCS events in Season 6. Akashi aims to keep up the grind in Season 7, attending more locals, commentating as much as possible, and honing his skills as a consistent Top 8 threat at Majors.
“Honor. No matter how dire the battle, never forsake it.”
32. ZoraTK
ZoraTK is a Texas player whose Sylvanos collected impressive wins over the likes of Plastic Dinos at Heat Wave 4, Bookworm at Riptide, and Tanko at RCS Hot Springs. ZoraTk consistently scared some of the best players in Season 6, with narrow losses against both ZeeBee and Xaro for what is arguably the most challenging 17th placement one could ever attain at Riptide. Since the release of our four newcomers, ZoraTK has made a complete switch to Mollo with the goal of leading the way in the character’s charge through the Rivals meta. ZoraTK’s Mollo managed to show up and create waves with a 5th place showing at our offseason Major, Low Tide City. Be ready for an explosive Season 7.
“Never didn’t have it.”
31. Ceroas
Ceroas is the former TO for the North American Rivals Amateur Series and Absa mentor for the Rivals Academy Discord. Hailing from Oregon and known for their incredibly defensive play, Ceroas collected wins against the likes of HKP, Syzygy, Bagel, and more while only dropping sets to players ranked in the Top 30 this season. Ceroas has been a hallmark of the community and has recently announced retirement following their standout performance at Genesis 8. We wish Ceroas the best in their competitive future!
