Top pilots
Skrimskraw:
current top 3 pilots in competitive play:
1. Lueosi
He still shows ability to keep his team at the top spot. Working with different ships than metamidion more often and it pays off. His goldfish is almost at the same level as fiascos which is still enough to make it dangerous.
2. JubJub
The increase in different ships for Praetorians is also paying off. Jubjub is showing an immense increase in skill level as a pilot. When watching games with jubjub look out for the mindgames he plays in engagements, he makes maneuvre tricks seem like an easy game.
3. Spud nick
Spud nick enters my list of top pilots just leaping over melon. The reason for this is that cake as a team is showing an incredible eye for positioning and higher tactics than other teams. Although cake wont beat every team 5-0 they still show high skill level. Spud nick I feel is the best pilot on the cake team due to his experience and understanding of guns and positioning.
whats to look for in the future?
If you are into watching competitive games I suggest that you watch SCS and keep and eye on the teams mentioned above aswell as Wings of Daedalus who are improving their playstyle by watching old streams, specificly using same builds and tactics as thralls did, aswell as taking inspiration from the mandarins. WoD only lacks the experience of old veteran pilots, but Heldigris is doing a good job at learning, so hopefully WoD will have a spot on the list some time :)

What makes some pilots definitively better than others? Is this just about competitive matches? Doesn't every experienced pilot perform amazing feats sometimes, and screw up other times? So far the most consistent mentions have been Lue and Spud, who have quite simply played the most matches out of anyone. What really makes someone a top pilot?

I may be 150% biased here, but Sammy <3
Really I have never expierenced such advanced control over stress situations even with Lue. And since everyone flies carronades now, junker is always a stress situation for entire match. Everything is always red, everything is always not chemed, and you still manage to keep DPS output cause he has clearest view on right prioritising, never giving up in the worst fuck-ups (tomato flies to some R&D finals participants).
Really after Sammy or/and Frogger all other pilots seem to be lazy skrubs who just stay on helm doing nothing. Once again, I am 300% biased.

I think it's less about the feats performed and more about the control led over the larger area of the battle field.. :)
