I played 2E between 2008-2015. Never top tier. But during most of that period the best players around the world would come to Gen Con to play Worlds, until TCC made the decision to move Worlds around the world. I believe those years and probably a few years before 2008 were the glory years.

In my opinion, I believe the best North American players (in no particular order) were:

1. Neil Timmons
2. Caleb Grace
3. Mike Harrington
4. TK Kamira
5. John Corbett
6. Ben Hosp
7. Peterson
8. MvB
9. Kevin Jaeger
10. Nate Weininger

Just going down memory lane.

Never top tier.

You're robbing my of my greatest accomplishments, training you and Alex to multiple GenCon Day 2/3's.

And I appreciate that. My best year was 2015. I was a semi-finalist at Continentals.

The 10 Greatest GenCon Players of All-time (from my experience, in no particular order):

Josh Sheets
Caleb Grace
Mike Harrington
Neil Timmons
BenHosp
Geoffery Peterson
Justin Hoffman
MVB
Will Hoskin
Nick and James morphed into a British Tuvix


And there's probably a few old school names that deserve honorable mentions. Beal, Ehret, Kuck, Minott, Schmitz...

You and Alex were "Money Players" (well, at least we got Decipher Dollars), don't sell your nerd careers short.

Fun Fact about Darrell: He's the all-time money leader on the WarHammer Pro Tour.

I'm sure I forgot a plenty of names. I don't think we matched up ever at GenCon.

Claypoole, Keller (I think he made multiple Day 2/3s)....

Have you blocked Worlds 2005 from your memory? Maybe you did since that was the year of the Pulsforts demonstrating that us dumb Americans don't know how to really break the game.

If you're going by your personal experience I can see it, but I still made 5 straight Worlds day 3s (2004-2008) so that's not nothing.

But before you ran into that buzzsaw we had an epic 3 game match that ended with me one Secret Conspiracy short of knocking you off.

That said, you're right in one way: our most epic clashes were at Origins. (Smoke Machine, Double Cluttering Triple Play, 8-1 payoff... )

My all-time worst record is against Fultz (1-5). He'd be in my NA top 10 even though a lot of his career is in Europe.

Yes.

I forgot that match was GenCon, I apologize. That bad luck on your part (facing a that had plenty of Treachery, which was rare back then) is as bad as mine last year when Steve Nelson had the cheat code ( Azzeani Massari, whatever her name is) against my 8472.

We're talking about GenCon. Cobra Kai Dojo boys have a bad track record there.

Who were the top 10 2E players during the period 2008-2015?

1. Chris Clarke

Haha. Nerd Corrections ruin everything. Real life and the boards.
