As a calendar year comes to a close this eve, a new year is about to begin. It's time to do our annual prediction of the Goldeneye Top 10 as well as the WRs for every level and how they will stand in exactly 1 year, on December 31, 2015. It's notable that at some point this year, Goldeneye will turn 18 years old! A true testament to the endurance and longevity of this amazing community which many of us have been a part of for 10+ years, and is still thriving with new life. Also noteworthy is that last year, Shawn "Afan" Johnson was ranked 10th. He is now ranked 14th. Illu was 7th and is now 10th. This demonstrates that the Top 10 is open to anyone who puts in the effort and has the desire. Once more, 186 WRs were achieved this year, the most since the "golden age" in 2007. Thirteen untieds happened, including Caverns SA dropping 6 seconds thanks to the "explosive through door" strategy.
