So, over the years (yes years) people have debated who the best PvPer is, and saying players are better then others and stuff. I'm just going to put it out there that there is no answer. In some video games there might be, but to be honest, PvP is such a small aspect in Minecraft that it isn't very hard to be decent at it. Use sports as an example, it would be like saying someone is the best passer, which is absurd to even think, but nonetheless people say certain players are the best and believe it. This also causes pointless things like videos where someone will 1v1 Huahwi and make a big deal about it. Another big part about PvP is luck, there is a huge amount of luck in fights (sometimes ping, but usually other things). As is, PvPing in minecraft isn't very hard, and people make a bigger deal about winning fights against high ranked players then they should. Most high ranked players aren't up there because they are the best at PvP, but more the best at strategy. We can all agree that Gravey4rd isn't the best PvPer (he is really good though). He is at his rank because skilled at PvP, but he also has put a lot of time into the game, and is a very strategic player. I'm the same way as well, and so are a lot of other high rank players. Basically my point is, 1v1s mean nothing, and debates about who is the best is pointless. What really makes a player is their sportsmanship, without sportsmanship, you don't even deserve to be ranked.
