The 2025 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

[Sneekes]

For those that are curious, the optimal team in 2025 would have scored 27,573 points, beating Salvarani by a mere 10,000 points. Among those guys, Pidcock, Kubis, Malucelli, Covi, Larsen, Salby, Exteberria and Loland are all unique picks. Nobody saw Scaroni, Prodhomme, Lopez, Johannessen, Blikra, Gilmore and Omrzel having that kind of year.

I got 2 of the 8 unique best ROI picks (Kubis and Loland), and yet finished 73rd overall, which demonstrates how disasterous the rest of my picks must have been.
Thanks Skidmark for running this. See you next season.

Congrats Salvarini! What a lead.

I'm glad to finish around 30th for once.
