One great finals performance and people think KK is the goat when he hasn't done jack shit this whole year, he's not even top 10 in rating in champs
Popped off in Madrid even when his team wasn't good, always performed excellently in his region and showed he could do it on the biggest stage when his team was finally cohesive. He's not the #1 of the year (Texture probably takes that) but he deserves a mention.
Not to mention he's performed well in every international he's been to (except Shanghai but he tried, EDG were at their absolute lowest). He has Aspas level consistency in his own region and gave the greatest performance ever in a Grand Final.
Rating rly doesnt matter, top 4 in acs while riens is 16th, he also has most fk in the entire tourney. not to mention aspas is considered the goat yet kang kang performed way above him. its not HIS fault his team was shitty before. He was #1 player in tokyo last year and carried his team during both tokyo and champs
