Skill levels

I reverted your edit of trying to change Aaron's skill level to top level. Before changing any other players' skill level, you should read our guidelines for how they are applied. With top level in particular:

"A competitive smasher that is among the best of the best. Anything below a major will typically be easy pickings for them, they carry incredible winrates even if they only attend majors, and are legitimate threats to win a major, as well as place top 8 at a supermajor. These players will make up the upper echelons of global power rankings."

Aaron doesn't really fit this up to this point in Ult, while he much more fits our definition of "upper high":

"A competitive smasher that is extraordinarily competent at the game, but falls short of being truly top level. Locals are essentially free money for them, they dominate at the regional level, and will often make it into the top 64 of majors. They can also realistically win against top level players, but they will more frequently lose, and will rarely make it into the top 8 of a major, while almost never doing so at a supermajor. These players will be at the top end of regional power rankings, and will make up the low to middle rungs of global power rankings."

On another note, it was recently we made the change to our skill level ratings and made our standards for "top level" much more exclusive after how extremely loose it was thrown around before, and as a result there are still tons of players listed as "top level" who still need to be downgraded accordingly (thus any argument of "why is X player not listed as top level when Y player is" will likely be invalid).
