You're the guy with the almost visceral anti-Ness reaction to anyone who makes even a semblance of a positive note on Ness. Why am I not surprised?
Anyway, let's answer your question.
Firstly, he's done A LOT, judging by the number of results he's pulling in from all the locals and other bigger tournies going on, both here and abroad. Go check the CCI thread and go back a few pages, you'll surely see his head icon pop up countless times whenever some sizable tournament is mentioned.
Unless you're talking about the more notable tournaments, like the LTC4 or Apex, in which case... Not a lot. And why? Because none of his top players - Fow, Shaky, S1, etc. - were at these tournies. Which I personally don't harbor against the character's competitive viability, but hey, if it fuels your innate hatred for Ness, go right ahead.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - when you have an explosive advantage state that can do wonders in closing up a stock and bringing up the percent deficit to make a more-than-feasible comeback, you're going to find it hard to consistently argue "mediocre neutral" and "***ty disadvantage state" will be the death of the character. I also don't quite believe Ness has SUCH lacking neutral and disadvantage as you exaggerate, which I can tell given your healthy amount of claimed bad MUs without any real evidence backing 'em up.
That said, I don't see Ness as a top 15 character, so go be surprised at someone else.
