“I don’t know any quotes!!!!”
40. Haze
Leading off the next ten spots on this season’s list with her first Top 50 appearance is Haze! Residing in Oregon, Haze focused on attending west coast events in Season 7 such as Genesis 9 and Back in Blood 5 where she scored wins on Ahntye and AZCards. Haze hopes to ramp up her attendance and get to play the game with even more people in Season 8.
39. Mr. Mutton
With a mic in one hand and a knife in the other, Mr. Mutton locks in his second appearance on Top 50. Mr. Mutton worked on fine tuning his character pool and showed some incredible performances with 9th place finishes at the online PPS and at both Midwest regionals, COST 2022 and One Day War. As Season 8 kicks off, Mr. Mutton aims to take a more relaxed approach to competition, playing more for fun than for glory.
“Honka Honka.”
38. SBS
Hey gang, SBS here with another self-made write-up! I just wanted to convey how special RCS Season 7 was for me, as it really felt like for the first time since 2019, that offline Rivals of Aether was truly back in full force. I used this year to focus my effort on making sure events ran smoothly for everyone involved and on my first-ever club season of Ultimate (Frisbee), a sport that I’ve been playing since 8th grade. I’m excited to try the balancing act again going into Season 8 but I also would like to check out some Grassroots League events where I can chase that feeling of competition as a player just like I did in 2019. I’m not sure how the season will pan out but I’ve been pretty happy playing Clairen again in Arizona after darai convinced me to bring her out at Sunnyshore 2. Here’s to another great season of Rivals of Aether, and even more Ultimate (Frisbee)!
37. Brunch
Brunch bursts onto the Top 50 for the first time with sets over players such as SBS, elpe, Tanko and more over the course of five brackets. His hunger for improvement is driven by his goal to establish himself as the best Sylvanos in Season 8. This goal may very well manifest itself as Brunch has been on the grind. He has entered countless online brackets ran by the community and stacked up even more impressive victories, including at least one set on every single Top 50 Kragg. We cannot wait to see what Brunch brings to the table next season!
36. Vecho
Vecho is a Canadian Forsburn main who started playing Rivals in 2021 and entered his first event at Get On My Level 2022, where he earned a stunning Top 50 win against Nbad and a Top 8 finish. Since his appearance on the RCS circuit, Vecho has taken down a variety of veterans such as MattyIce and Zora as he aims to establish himself as one of the best Forsburn’s to touch the sticks.

35. Lucius
Tri-State Ranno and aspiring voice actor, Lucius, hops his way to #35! Over the course of Season 7, Lucius attended a staggering 9 Top 50 eligible events, netting impressive wins over players such as darai and OoDa, all while balancing a full-time job and his education path in Healthcare Management. Next season, Lucius aims to crack the top 30 and bring out what he calls “Lucius 2.0” in 2024.
“It’s me Onesy in the onesie!”
34. Onesy
Coming in at 34 is a player whose tag certainly does not lie. You can catch Onsey at majors repping the Oklahoma Rivals scene, scaring top 10 players in pools, and wearing various onesies while doing so. Making it out to LAN events was a highlight for Onesy as he was able to meet a slew of players and friends in person where he made a name for himself with a nail-biter set against ZeeBee and a huge upset against OoDa at Riptide. As if a sleeping giant had awoken, Onesy went on to collect at least one Top 50 win at each event he attended, cracking top 32 at three of his four tournaments.
“Howdy, gamers.”
33. Sawtooth
Sawtooth is a Sylvanos that recently took a position as a community figurehead in the Arizona Rivals local scene, running brackets and helping run the community one day at a time. Season 7 treated Sawtooth exceptionally well, with heart-pounding sets against MSB and ZeeBee and outstanding upsets against players such as Sparx21 and Bagel. Sawtooth seems to have finally had his “breakout” event and is ready to continue studying and crafting his mentality to push the Sylvanos meta as far as he can before Rivals 2 comes out in 2024.
32. Pity
Pity is an old-school Zetterburn main hailing from Florida with roots to the Rivals Early Access days in 2015. He’s been playing the game competitively for years and has enjoyed the social aspect of tournaments as of late, taking opportunities to travel to places such as Cedar Point after brackets conclude for the day. Despite his relaxed demeanor, Pity is one of the most deadly Zetterburns to ever do it, with the ability to take down opponents such as Nbad, Kobra, and Sawtooth. Pity’s fundamental knowledge of the game has proven to translate well to Doubles as well, with electric sets at Riptide propelling him and his partner, Adi, past Squanto and CakeAssault to earn a 4th place finish at Riptide this year.

31. Games & Flames
Coming in at 31 is an Ori and Sein main known for his online play. Games & Flames attended three of the four online events this season, netting a 9th place finish at RCS December and taking down four different Top 50 competitors on the way. While online may be Games & Flames’ comfort zone, he was able to make it out to his first ever offline event at Riptide 2022. Games & Flames wants to ensure that his appearance in a LAN setting was no rarity as he plans of using his momentum form RCS to prove his skill offline in Season 8.
