S tier is a Japanese thing, e-sports made it famous quite awhile ago

Quote:
The S-tier ranking system, commonly used in tier lists, originates from Japanese academic grading where "S" represents a level above "A". It was later adopted by Japanese video games to signify a rank above "A", often used to denote exceptional or perfect performance. The exact meaning of the "S" is debated, with possibilities including "Super," "Special," or the Japanese word "Shū" (秀), meaning "excellent".
"Chun Li and Yun are S Tier garbage and only [slur]s play them"

is something you could overhear at your local arcade 30 years ago
