Its still a great rivalry but its a fair point that the pinnacle of the Ronnie-Higgins rivalry was between early 90's and late 00's. Since late 00's the Ronnie-Selby rivalry has taken over.

Remind me what McGill has done to be in the top-16.

How quickly you forget.

He was in the semi final of the WSC last year.

It doesn't take too much understanding to realise that the big reward for doing well in the WSC is to practically guarantee being there again for next year's event. It makes sense both morally and statistically.

Gary Wilson's and Dave Gilbert's semi-final WSC runs come off after the WSC & while Wilson couldn't make his run last 2 years, Gilbert is again in the seeds... just, but he too will be plummeting without a good showing.

It's a real tight pack in that 220-230k area with barely a single match-win in almost any event separating the field. the no.16 spot was really up for grabs this season:

15. Gilbert 232.5k
16. McGill 227k
17. Yuelong 222.75k

Zhou will be sorely disappointed he didn't beat Hossein Vafaei in the first round of the WGP, a match he lost 4-3, for example. That would have given him 7.5k ranking points...
