Let's Go Tourney Power Rankings

The top end of the Let's Go racing community is already getting extremely set in very little time, so here's my power rankings of who to keep an eye out for winning this tourney.

Odds-On Favorite
1. etchy - on a different level from everybody else, will be the heavy favorite in every race he's in as well as for best race time

The Top Challenger
2. amber - they're a clear number 2, most consistent and established runner overall

The Eevee Gatekeeper
3. eddaket - the most established runner in the tourney, doesn't have the same upside as etchy or amber but rounds out a clear top 3 for the tourney

Potential Finals Party Crashers
4. tpat - been popping off really hard since getting eevee on digital, I would consider him the most likely to crash the finals
5. wawa - tore up the frlg tourney and has torn up multiple red tourneys over the years, wawa will be extremely hard to beat
6. keith - hasn't participated in any races yet but has the most knowledge about the game in the community and is the best decision maker in the tourney
7. dynam - has had the most upwards momentum in the leadup to the tourney and has found himself consistently in the front pack of each let's go race he has participated in



This top 7 is who I consider the contenders for winning it all, but some potential spoilers and dark horses I would like to highlight:

randall - flippy playstyle makes it impossible to rely on me for as many rounds as the tourney requires, not to mention extenuating circumstances, but the popoff potential is there
headstrong - barrier blitz veteran was a top eevee runner back when she really ran the game, has a ways to go but could be a tough out if she derusts well enough
aspect - don't know anything about them but looked good their first race and has a 3:03, so I think it's fair to put aspect here
pokeguy - extremely top-heavy nature of let's go makes it hard to highlight dark horses outside of pot 1, but there's no better option for that than arguably the greatest pokemon speedrunner ever, even if he hasn't touched this game before
