MPGR 2018

The MPGR 2018 lists the world's top 100 Super Smash Bros. Melee smashers during 2018, as compiled by Melee It On Me and PG Stats. They were announced in a series of Red Bull eSports articles published from January 20th, 2019 to February 1st, 2019.

Methodology[edit]

Multiple top players, community leaders, tournament seeders, and regional power rankers, were chosen to be panelists for the MPGR. The panelists were asked to rate players based on the following criterion:
Based on quality and quantity of results in 2018, rate each player on a scale of 1 to 10. A tournament is held every weekend during the ranking period, and all players on the list are able to attend every event. Over the course of the season, who performs the best? You may give the benefit of the doubt to players who attended more events during the ranking period if you so choose.
Ballot scoring was normalized between each panelist and each player's final score was calculated as a weighted average, with a higher weight given to scores closer to the interquartile mean of the total scores.
