Season 6 Rankings: #50-41

Welcome to the North American RCS Season 6 Top 50! Each year we look back on the previous competitive season and the players who influenced our scene by creating a Top 50 Players list. The rankings are created by a community panel that considers data from across the season to construct a comprehensive list that highlights our top players and their accomplishments.

50. Death By Hugs

Death By Hugs rings in the Season 6 Top 50 as a returning force to be reckoned with. His season consisted of three online events with wins on players such as Sparx21 and Landkon2. Since the season’s conclusion, we were treated to his performance at Low Tide City, where he put on an aggressive showing with Etalus, placing 7th with wins over CRSDCrusader and ITS A CAT :D.

Shotti is a Forsburn main from New York returning to the Top 50 this season. He collected wins on old school players such as FullStream, Dam Danny and Mr. Olsen with his return to locals at Heat Wave 4 showcasing his best performance of the season. We hope to see Shotti’s Forsburn make appearances and make more upsets in Season 7.

“Frenchyy is the soulja boy of Rivals” -@wack-Aj

46. Frenchyy

Frenchyy is the founding member of the Tampa Rivals scene (hosting GoTE 4TheKids 7 to open RCS Season 7 this weekend!) and has been playing since 2017. After entering CEO Dreamland, Frenchyy decided he wanted to be more active in the scene and began cultivating what is now one of the most feared regions in the world. It wasn’t until 2020 that Frenchyy set his sights on the Top 50 rankings. Since then, his goal of traveling more and improving at a fundamental level have been at the forefront of his play. We look forward to seeing him at more events in our heavily locals-focused Season 7 kicking off this weekend.

“Per ardua ad astra.”

45. Rift

Rift is the head TO in Georgia and has been hard at work to put his state back on the map by building his community. Throughout Season 6, Rift has utilized his B.S. in Astrophysics to pilot his way onto the Top 50 as the only solo Shovel Knight main to make the list. Rift’s goal is to grow the Georgia Rivals scene and to see even more players from the region break into the rankings.

“The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it?
It’s the next one. Always the next step.”

44. Syzygy

Syzygy is a software engineer in Northern California, on a mission to remind the greater Rivals scene of West Coast talent. Syzygy collected consistent placings throughout the year with a second place finish in the Heat Wave 4 Intermediate bracket, blossoming into a breakout 17th place at Genesis 8. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Syzygy enjoys rock climbing, chess, card games, and is also learning game development on the side. Syzygy’s continued improvement indicates that they’re a force to be reckoned with in Season 7.

“Yeehaw.”

43. Sawtooth

Sawtooth is a former community leader for the Colorado scene, and now one of the most fierce players in Arizona. Sawtooth has been an active member of the community since mid-2017 and has been playing Sylvanos since his reveal at Genesis 5. Season 6 has been a busy time for him, with a focus on competitive growth in a new scene, mindset on the big stage, and content creation to bridge the gap between platform fighter communities. Be on the lookout for Sawtooth in Season 7, as he aims to prove his breakout event at Genesis 8 was no fluke. In the meantime, check out his YouTube and maybe even gain some insight to building a local community of your own.

42. Yeggy

Yeggy is an Ohio Elliana main, known for his devastating punish game and being the top PR member of his region. Yeggy has been playing Rivals for over six years now, and has breached the Top 50 Rankings for the first time. Yeggy’s season consisted of a pretty wide range of results, with victories over players such as Mentos, Death By Hugs, hoppyKnitz, and more. In his Season 6 journey, Yeggy only suffered losses to Top 50 players and proved to be a potent threat to anyone in his path. Yeggy intends to shift his focus more towards content creation and commentating with Season 7 on the horizon.

41. Zora

Zora is an old head in the Arizona scene, wearing several hats as Co-TO, community ambassador, owner of Maypulcord, and a long time AZ PR member. It may be hard to believe for some, but, this is Zora’s first appearance on the Top 50 Rankings. This Season, Zora collected wins on Zora(TK), Mentos, and many more (even collecting a non-RCS win against Koda). His improvement throughout the years has begun to skyrocket his Maypul to all new heights, with experience and an analytical approach to the game colliding with more travel experience than ever before. Zora aims to continue this trend with his goal of traveling the nation and bringing back knowledge to his own local scene. Be on the lookout for this Maypul in Season 7.
