The GPI has quickly become far and away the most accurate ranking system for measuring success in the live tournament arena. Poker always lacked a way of measuring players which spanned multiple years and wasn't simply a "who played the most" competition. The GPI is the closest thing poker has to a definitive list of the most successful tournament players in recent years.

The GPI is easily the best and most accurate measure of Poker success. For tournament poker, it is hard to argue that the top rankings in the GPI are not the world's best. However, much more could be done to make results in poker across the globe more visible and improvements could still be made to make the rankings more meaningful.
