We all know Mike Mirzayanov is a orz developer, who created the codeforces. I was wondering if in some parallel universe he was a competitor instead what would be his rank and rating?

I think he would have been easily 2400+ and red

Well I don't know him personally, but I know he is a CS faculty at the Harbour Space University. And he had also participated in ICPC and performed well (source :- click). So my thoughts about him is very similar as yours.

He has got global rank around 10 in 2 contests on codechef. Both contests were combined (DIV1 + DIV2) .So by consistent participation he would have been 7 star on codechef.

His highest topcoder rating is 2607 which would have put him in top 50 right now by current ranking table.

So i think if he regularly participates on CF his highest rating would be LGM (3000+).

UPD : I didn't compared codechef,topcoder rating with CF . I just wanted to say how good was Mike when he used to compete .

    LGM is much more than 2607 on Topcoder or 7* on Codechef.

      He participated in those contests years back and in last 10 years his most of time goes to development . If Mike was practicing regularly since then he would have been LGM.

      Also i didn't compared topcoder,codechef rating with codeforces , I just wanted to say how good was Mike . We don't have any other source to estimate his rating .
