Top 5 BATs of All Time (BOAT)

 The top 5 BATs of all time

As one of the oldest continuously running Red Alert clans in existence,  BAT has seen many top players join their ranks since even before I joined CnCNet in 2014. It was the largest clan in existence due to a strong recruitment drive by Hrvatska and Croboys, and many top players either remain or began their career at BAT. 

1. Faust

Arriving onto the scene around 2013, Faust was one of BATs earliest members before moving into C clan. He went on to frequently win or medal in tournaments which consisted of many mixed maps. Also a top level team player with both very strong building and tanking and a GQ pioneer using a unique blend of Q and GQ to great effect. Even at the time of his departure from BAT, he was already on his way to greatness, eventually becoming consensus #2 in the world.

2. Hrvatska

I think it's fair to say Hrvatska has surpassed Eagle in recent years, following strong tanking development with both Q and GQ. Already a top level builder with strong production, now also one of the strongest at big tank fights and a gold medallist. Perhaps the best tactician in the game (although he would say Yuzgen), I've certainly learnt many tricks from the BAT clan founder.  

3. AK47

He quickly became the most well rounded and powerful BAT member, winning clan battles together with Hrvatska and Diaz in the early 2020s. AK does both tanking and building very strongly and dictates the flow of play in team battles. Surpassing Eagle due to tanking ability, an early GQ adopter and strong producer too.  

4. Eagle

Like a ninja, Eagle swooped in and dominated 2v2 games without drama, becoming the best BAT at the time around 2019. Whilst I don't recall so much tanking, Eagle was clearly very accomplished in the building department, and it felt like playing with herm. As his partner, so long as you turned up and made tanks, you'd probably win. 

5. Panter

Famous for being a top 2v2 builder especially on maps like p4, many won't realise he's a top level tanker and strong Allies player too. With great production, building and tanking skills, Panter continues to be an even stronger force outside BAT in his new home.
