The teams rated closest to T-MAC SMOKIN, each with one reason worth a look.
These two have cooked 3 of the same contests — T-MAC SMOKIN ahead 3–0 — so there's a record behind this pairing and not just a matching number.
⚔ Head-to-headThey've been 1733 at their best, 39 points above where they sit today — they're arriving at this rating from above.
⚔ Head-to-headTheir last contest in the data was back in 2023, 3 years before T-MAC SMOKIN's most recent — their rating stopped moving when they stopped cooking.
⚔ Head-to-headFewer contests behind them than T-MAC SMOKIN has cooked, 86 to 170, which makes theirs the less settled rating of the two.
⚔ Head-to-headTheir rating is built on 1 Grand Championship in 67 contests, alongside a 49% overall top-10 rate.
⚔ Head-to-headBoth teams' first contest in the data came in 2013.
