Like his chat will ask "why is x character so low" and he just kinda shrugs and doesn't really say anything or he gives a non-answer like "are you really gonna argue?"

Intuition can be difficult to justify, and completely writing off the intuition of one of the best players in the world is just foolish.

First of all, 23 minutes to make a tier list of over 70 characters? That's less than 20 seconds of thought for each character. Other pros spend hours or even days on their lists.

How exactly does spending more time on a tier list improve it? Everyone has an immediate gut opinion about how strong they feel a character is. Thinking about it more literally changes nothing.
