::::To IP, first sign your name with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>>. Second, offline and online is different than tournament play, since there's the case of sandbagging and not taking matches seriously, as there are low stakes. Finally, as I said above, we don't know how those fundamentals work in the current metagame; ZeRo needs to prove that he can handle it in actual tournament play before gaining that status. | ::::To IP, first sign your name with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>>.

::::This does bring up a separate point: how do we define Top Professional? For example, {{Sm|Vintendo}} is listed as one despite only having one outstanding placement - is 25th at EVO good enough for Top Professional?

:::::Top 32 at the largest Smash tournament of all time is pretty damn good and it was extremely stacked, so yeah, I think it warrants the status. As for ZeRo's wins on Rideae and Plup, neither of them were Top 100 for the first half of the year (according to the X-Factor survey, at least, and they weren't on OrionRank either), although Plup probably would be ''now'' during the second half of the year. I obviously think ZeRo could be very good if he chose to compete, but for now, that's not where his heart is at, and that's perfectly fine. However, he only has two results to his name for now, and 25th/3,534 at EVO is more impressive than 9th/361 at Smash Conference United relative to their sizes.
