S tier
Highest quality designation
S tier is the highest rank in a tiered rating system, originating from Japanese video game grading where S stood above A.
The S may derive from "special," "super," or simply represent a grade beyond the conventional scale.
Something rated S tier is exceptional, the best of its category: That restaurant is S tier.
The term has spread from gaming culture to general use for ranking anything from athletes to movies to snacks.
