Lord of the Archives People's Champion is decided by one brutal measure: the cumulative YouTube views. No panel. No favouritism. No politics. No "I don't want to get cancelled" wokeness, just the public count of who people actually watched.

For fairness, the leaderboard counts solo battles only. 2v2 and team clashes are excluded because shared videos can distort individual MC rankings. A team battle might pull views because of the matchup, the names involved, the teams, or one standout performer. Team battles remain archived separately as part of the full battle history. We never forget.
