Old fart here-- what's the state of the Pro Scene? (And lots of questions along those lines!)

I haven't played or followe AOE2 for a few years now, but I was feeling the itch again and excited to see the World Cup is about to start!

Looking at some of the recent pro events, it seems like things have shifted a little? Viper is still clearly #1, but is DauT dethroned as the #2? And I assume Jordan is still MIA sadly... but if you had to give a rough ranking of the current top 5-10 players, what would it look like?

I was a bit surprised when I saw the lineup of the Tournament of Champions that just happened. Presumably these are the current 4 best players? The 3 non-Viper players have always been good, but last time I was following the scene, none of them would've given Viper much of a challenge over the course of a whole tournament! (Also-- please no spoilers, I'm only halfway through it!)

I was also surprised to see Viper and Daut have been streaming Aoe3! Are pros migrating to that or just mixing it up for fun?

Finally-- what's up with slam? He was always my favorite :) Is he still Top 5ish?
