The Tiermaker Rankings is a series of quarterly streams where a group of Allies debate and rank groups of items from the tier list website Tiermaker.com. The range of items ranked include video game and non-video game related topics such as popular video game franchises, food, movies, characters, animation, music, and more.
$15 and up patrons in the Suggestion Squad tier on Patreon are able to suggest and vote on things for the Allies to rank each quarter in addition to suggestions for Stream Team and Trash Babies.
History[]
The very first Tiermaker stream started as a one-off idea for their weekly Group Stream Night on May 19, 2020. The Patreon post asking for suggestions reached over 150 ideas in just a couple hours with the most requested idea being fast food restaurants.
After the popularity of that stream, Easy Allies brought it back as an additional monthly stream where $15 and up patrons are able to suggest and vote on things for them to rank. The first monthly stream acted as the big finale for the weeklong EZX Digital '21 anniversary celebration on March 26, 2021.
Easy Allies officially returned to The Studio as a group on June 10, 2021. The date coincided with all of the Allies being fully vaccinated and COVID-cleared as well as the first day of E3. The July 2021 stream was the first Tiermaker in The Studio.
During EZX 2022, EZA announced that Tiermaker was shifting from a monthly to quarterly schedule. The first quarterly stream debuted on July 19, 2022.
