The Summer 2018 MPGR lists the world's top 50 Super Smash Bros. Melee smashers, as compiled by PG Stats. They are being announced in a series of Red Bull eSports articles that will be published from July 23rd to August 2nd, 2018.
Methods
PGstats has asked 35 top players, community leaders, tournament organizers and analysts to rate the quality of play for each qualifying player during the first half of 2018. 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?"
Each panelist gives each player a score from 1 to 10, and the ratings are compiled into one overall average after suppressing the effect of outliers.
