Okay so since RZA finished posting the full tier list, and since a lot of other people have been posting their tier lists, I guess I should post mine. I think a lot of people don't understand how the patch changed variations and some variations haven't changed as much as you may think. I consulted with other top UK players and they all agree that the criteria for my list makes perfect sense.
So I present to you guys; Strykie's English Lads Banter tier list.
