I think TKO around the beginning of EE was dominant netting in an era with more parity, more players and no free land.
When i think of the top netting tags ever i think no one can even compare themselves to that after 3/4 of the game left. The eyeball test changes a bit when youre only competing with like 15 other people.
While I don't disagree with your choice as I would personally think TKO is still #1, the real picture is actually a lot more complicated than that. Free land doesn't mean anything as everyone has it. The neutrality of bots is important in comparing eras as it means that the stats I posted aren't changed by bots. If we were talking best set ever, bots would need to be taken into consideration. But as for more people playing.... That's true but were more people competing? FFA has been in an unprecedented state of peace since CC left. It could be that more people were netting in many of ICDs victories than at many points in the past. Take TKOs first triple crown.... Who else was netting that set? It was a dominant reset, during a server war. PANLV usually took ANW off TKO in those days, and ICD was competing against both and winning some netting victories when both were at their top. I think it's a bit more complicated than TKO won more TNW rounds when there were more in the game; therefore.
I think an argument for all ICD, TKO and PANLV can be made. IMP is pretty clearly #4 being one of only 3 clans with triple crowns and many dominant sets and then it can be ESD or LAE who never really lasted in EE imo as far as netting goes.
