1.Sky Li You have no idea how much I wanted to be one of the cool kids ranking someone other than Sky at first. The stats tell a pretty compelling story though and every time I see Sky play, their buzzes just leave me in awe. Strong specialization within their generalist specialization. Their histor...

I think if you're going to include Cormac Beirne, it would be a mistake to leave Andrej Vukovic off. His coverage is comparable and frankly his 18th century art knowledge puts Cormac's to shame. Take a look at any of his recent stats for proof.

I would also rather Zoom be used over Discord.

I thought the following question was pretty excellent. I'd love to see more questions take a similar writing approach. 1. Swan bands correspond to emission by a carbon-based example of these molecules with triplet spin multiplicity. The recombination efficiency of these molecules may be increased by...

Much to my chagrin, I am having some difficulty staying awake right now despite the pressing write-up at hand being close to completion. This means the write-up will not be released until tomorrow as I'd prefer to release the entire thing complete. 1. Lia Rathburn 2. Henry Atkins 3.Colin Veevers 4.K...

God trash is so hard to make sense of. I've opted to include some players who have only played one tournament if I've seen them play or at least know something about them. Craig Moysey, Nick Penner, and Miran Trzic meet neither of these criteria so while I don't doubt they're quite good (Especially ...

Kendrick Lamar Frank Ocean A heavenly piece of music tbh. This is technically a cover of two tracks but the original tracks are from this decade too so I'm counting it. Please check out the channel if you like the cover : Gris Part 1 and 2 https://youtu.be/GmN9P8Tzx1c I should clarify that it's not ...

Robyn - Dancing on My Own vs. Perfume Genius - Queen These are both fine. Not sure which one I prefer but also neither one captivates me enough even after all these listens to want to figure it out so I'm abstaining. LCD Soundsystem - dance yrself clean vs. Tame Impala - Let It Happen Daft Punk (ft....

Kanye West (ft. Pusha-T) - Runaway vs. Sky Ferreira - Everything is Embarrassing Abstain Gotye (ft. Kimbra) - Somebody That I Used to Know vs. Lorde - Royals Janelle Monáe - Make Me Feel vs. Alvvays - Archie, Marry Me Vampire Weekend - Hannah Hunt vs. Flying Lotus (ft. Kendrick Lamar) - Never Catch ...

Lana del Rey - Video Games vs. Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian at Best Childish Gambino - This Is America vs. Weyes Blood - Movies M83 - Midnight City vs. Mark Ronson (ft. Bruno Mars) - Uptown Funk This matchup is close enough that it really just comes down to which particular atmosphere is more my t...

Kanye West (ft. Pusha-T) - Runaway vs. IDLES - Danny Nedelko Sky Ferreira - Everything is Embarrassing vs. Ariana Grande - thank u, next Gotye (ft. Kimbra) - Somebody That I Used to Know vs. Danny Brown (ft. Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, and Earl Sweatshirt) - Really Doe Really Doe is fantastic and Atro...

#1 Daft Punk (ft. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers) - Get Lucky vs. #16 Phoebe Bridgers - Motion Sickness #8 Taylor Swift - Blank Space vs. #9 Jamie xx (ft. Young Thug & Popcaan) - I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times) #5 Joanna Newsom - Good Intentions Paving Company vs. #12 M.I.A. - Bad Gi...

1. Derek So: Best film player in the circuit. There’s other stuff he knows but who actually cares about that? 2. Rein Otsason: Rein is from what I understand one of the strongest active physics players in quizbowl in general? I’ve seen Rein self-destruct before but when he’s on his game he’s a force...

Could I see the Rimbaud tossup please? I've read The Drunken Boat several times but none of the lines were actually ringing a bell. Was it clued anywhere other than the FTP? If it was then I probably just did a poor job of remembering the poem.

The buzz on "sandbars" was incorrectly attributed to me. Josh Lane got that tossup.

My top ten: 1. A Ghost Story (David Lowery) Watching A Ghost Story in theaters was the most spiritual experience I've ever had with a film and it was largely in part due to the state of mind I was in when I went to watch it. I may never see this movie again simply because I want nothing but that exp...

Who is the best film player? Currently, of all time, whatever. Also, do you think they could beat Edgar Wright in a film side event if Edgar had a day to learn about quizbowl (assuming Edgar isn't at all familiar with quizbowl)?
