This is a simple question. Who had to become the biggest degenerate to achieve a certain rank on the GE rankings? Another way to ask this is, which of these players would not have peaked at their highest ranking spot without them allowing their life to become degenerate enough where they could play for 10h/day or more?
You are allowed to vote on multiple choices in the poll.
Here are some clarifiers for each player;
Marc Rutzou - Did not wash his dishes for over a month while grinding Train. Hadn't seen sunlight for over 4 months and claims to have had 12 hour sessions of Dam 00 Agent in 2011. Has become so insane that he's joined a truth cult. It is clear that while he is a top player, he definitely no-lifed some levels to achieve insane records like Dam 1:16 and Train 0:58; the only reason why they still stand today. Furthermore he has no job (likely never will) and lives off a pittance. NDU: He still has respect from a few players for his gifted skill.
David Clemens - The only top player who continuously grinded the game from 2006-2013 almost non-stop,
7 years. Spent most of Christmas day 2012 playing Control Agent. Was so into the game at one point that he would flame others for disagreeing with him on some trivial point (e.g. went on a massive rant when Ace tied a couple of his precious records). To add to his degeneracy, most of his videos are improperly captured or recorded on a 2001 Nokia Phone. Was also so addicted that he came out of retirement 5+ times. NDU: Has focused more on real-life these days, has a gf and is respected by many players in the speedrun community.
Rayan I. - Has the most untieds and is 1st by a large margin, so it's clear how much he has no-lifed this game and Perfect Dark in his entire career (over 10,000 hours, which is more than 1.25 years of continuous play). Has spent the 2nd most amount of time on the boards. NDU: Has a social life, achieves good grades and is one of very few normal speedrunners.
Ryan White - Streams almost every night in his basement till 5am. Takes a considerably long amount of time to achieve certain records (100 for Streets SA, 160+ for B1 00A,
1250 for Silo SA 1:10). Has spent the most amount of time on the boards. Has so much free time that he enjoys trolling various boards. Considered by many to be the biggest drama queen The Elite has ever seen. NDU: Is by far the most popular Elite streamer, spearheaded GoldenEye streaming and earns money from playing.
Ryan Lockwood - Plays Hitman and GoldenEye 16 hours a day and STILL struggles to PB. Need I say more? NDU: He's obviously a legend.
Ilari Pekkala - Unsure if he has ever had a job in his entire life (despite being around 30 years old) and just spends time going for random, irrelevant records. Life further exacerbated when he went on a vegan diet and unfortunately it's the only thing he talks about apart from GE.
Philip Bezgoubov - Sits at home all day either watching streams or asking people to stream. NDU: ???
