Years later, do you find these (MK9+IGAU) Eventhubs tier lists accurate?

Compared to MKX tierlist on EH, these are precise.

19 Ermac
20 Scorpion

24 Cyber Sub-Zero
25 Quan Chi
26 Baraka
27 Nightwolf
28 Jade
29 Stryker
30 Kano
31 Sheeva

Also I'd say Shazam was a mid-tier character by the end of the game's life, he was so bad in the beginning but those patches really helped.

Shazam is not hard to zone, he'll always eat an arrow or two even with teleport and I'll always have time to reload EA on hit. Everything else I agree with. On wake up he's very easy to read to so there is that

It's like I said though, I don't mean to downplay Shazam or up play GA. I just personally never found it hard to fight him. Even though I 100% agree with that that GA < Shazam, I never lost to one as GA. Shazam might be better than GA but he definitely doesn't body him by any means because GA can make the right reads to win as he's very read heavy as a character and Shazam is very punishable on most of his good stuff. Let's just leave it at soft 6-4 to Shazam that can swing into GA's favor (almost a 5-5).

I have an open mind, PM me about this if you feel the need to refute, I'll even play you to prove me wrong. However, GA definitely is higher than bottom 3 and even with Grundy (but 90% of the cast can blow Grundy up including GA) So bottom 10 or 5

again it's not about the Shazam MU vs GA it's about their tools vs the rest of the cast.

mk9 - where a character who has armourable holes in every string is not on the bottom of the tier list.
