Understanding that you have your own concepts, opinions, and rating systems here, I still can't help but chime in.

How can you consider someone (the highly respected Anders) the best Heroes player when he has been grinding noob templates in SoD for years and openly admits he doesn't like XL+U??? And everyone (who is reasonable) knows that on XL+U he is completely out of his depth against a dozen or more serious VT players (I don't know how it is here). It's like considering Pelé the best footballer of all time. In modern football, he would undoubtedly be super-class, but he would never even be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. Nowadays, you need a much broader set of universal skills for that. I think the analogy is clear.

p.s. To truly prove his mega-competence in HoMM3, the highly respected Gomunguls (and other founding fathers of HeroesWorld) needs to come to Minsk in May and take 1st place. IMHO winning an offline event where, with 20+ participants, there is not a single noob is a real indicator of skill. Not all these idiotic online arguments about "could/couldn't see the Griffin Conservatory" and the like.
