And for me that person is Zygote

I figured Frank would have more, tbh.

I don’t know about “no one is even close,” though.

Pent has him matched, if not bettered, Pinot Grij has a pretty impressive list also (admittedly not at all topical based, but that’s also impressive to me).

I’d be interested to see if anyone has champed the topical league more than 3 times, it seems that’s everyones upper limit (as of this post).

I only got a problem with people who want a problem wwith me.

It will def. be granted to you, it just takes a short while for everyone’s records and accomps to be updated. They’re usually done after the seasons concluded rather than in-season is all.

* — Frank's records include his showing as Red glare in Season 1, when he used two accounts simultaneously before being discovered. However, his battle against himself will not count on any of the win- or loss-based lists.



So fucking gone, I forgot about that. You're my hero Frank.

[Witty]

Surprised it's not you tbh @sral

I'm still not convinced it's Frank, he may have won AOWL the most but there have been a lot of tournaments which seem to be being ignored.

The real aowl finale this season was me vs frank

Imma be Frank Dominates with Adverse Innovation.

It probably is me. I guess what I was trying to see was who was the next behind me.

The rankings he’s linked to only seem to have been updated throughout season 1-3, then you’ve got some sort of “Battle Of The Week” links for season 5 or whatever but that’s about it. There’s a lot of stuff missing, definitely a lot of wins not counted nor championship titles, no GWL titles for example, no tournaments listed etc. That’s not to discredit Frank but it’s only a snippet of a much larger field so it doesn’t give us a complete picture.


I might go back over it and update to give something more comprehensive.

If we're talking about just strictly Champed statuses, the simple answer is Lars and Frank... Pretty easy. But that's mostly about longevity, which, not to take anything away from those guys because it's impressive they have maintained that level for as long as they have... But if I had solely focused on leagues and tournaments on this specific site for as long as I've been doing this my list would be a mile long too.

Accolades don't mean much. They just don't. Anyone can "champ" when the roster is thin. (See brokenhal0 and Eviction, etc.) I think it's more about, when you're in a league, who do you NOT want your name beside in a battle on any given week. I promise you, none of these "highly decorated" topical guys that care about wins and losses want to see my name next to theirs...

There's a reason for that.

That’s an interesting theory, for sure.

Frank has been competing since it started, but you might be surprised to hear I didn’t even choose to compete in the league at all here until Season 5:


http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=120477

http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=120609

I had two battles, with a champ match vs Deadman scheduled before it seems the moderators lost their way and I ended up taking the moderation reigns to finish what they started.

Season 6

I had one battle in Season 6, when I faced JESODIST: http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=123111 - no other matches whatsoever. I believe I only signed in to beat him.


Season 7:

I faced deadman: http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=125193 and
UnbornBuddah: http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=125294

No other matches.

There’s no archive for an AOWL Season 8, so I’m not sure if it had a rebrand or something went down where they changed the leagues name or ran something different but you can see I was never really that competitive in the seasonal league format, I certainly haven’t been around it anywhere near what Frank has.

[Eviction]

considering the people who I beat I wouldn't say the roster was so thin, it's not like there was a bunch of sinacog's in there. this is the best your going to get for today and lucky at that. although everyone was uninspired this season.

@sral But you've been at it far longer than me, is my point. In fact, the first tournament I ever entered and won on urbanprowlers was because you kept bugging me to enter it lol. I just always focused on Open Mics.. and still do. No denying your resume though... and you have the ability to stay fresh, which is tough to do.

Frank is impressive as well... I think he dazzles people with his style that's why he wins. But once you see him week after week, it starts to become transparent what he's doing. He thinks of a creative ending bar that relates to the topic and literally builds out from there, maintaining the rhyme scheme with stretched words and logic. He can only operate within the confined space of the rhyme scheme that he chooses. His creativity literally stems from that. If he were ever forced to branch off, and you know, actually try to build a narrative, he would be lost. So, although technically impressive, he just doesn't know how to tell a story properly or in any effective manner. That's how you beat him. And I'll prove it when we finally do face off.

If I had battles against Lars and Frank, I'd be more worried about Lars because he can be unpredictable with what he will do. I KNOW what Frank is up to... and can counter that.

So decorated? Meh. Even boys scouts are decorated with badges. If I had been around as long as Lars and Frank their lists of accomplishments wouldn't be as long... because I'd own half of them.

Just my 2 cents. Cool thread.

[Amen]

Was that a call out ^?

I just noticed Pinot Grij won The Winter Topical II finals via no-show also:

Damn.

That’s a huge plus as far as his accomplishments go diminished, in my eyes, too.
