As a comparison, here's what OpTic yay's, the player that was considered the best in the world at the time, Champions 2022 run looks like:

382 Kills (+144) (19 maps) - 307 Kills (+69) (15 maps)
80 First Kills (+28) (19 maps) - 65 First Kills (+22) (15 maps)

A 1.30 Rating (19 maps) - A 1.29 Rating (15 maps)

So, there you have it. Overall, great showing by EDG as they've beaten an EMEA titan that is NAVI, comfortably beat the powerhouse that is LOUD and have even gone toe to toe with the EMEA 1st Seed that is TL. ZmjjKK may not have earned GOAT status like yay has but he's a very promising duelist who's able to compete on the international stage against some of the best teams and players. Guy's got a bright future just up ahead

KK is insane. But I tend to be skeptical towards every "new" player (I know he has been outperforming China entirely for years now, but I'm talking about international events). He def outplayed many of the best players we have. This alone is insane. But I do think that real GOATs prove themselves in larger spans of time.
We have to wait and see if he really is all that, or if he is just having a hell of a tournament.

The thing is: crushing t2 leagues doesn't mean much. I could talk about how dgzin plays absolutely insanely agains BR, but he kinda choked in VCT Americas.
Being a god in t2 val doesn't prove much. So, we still must see him again in international events. Then we'll know.
I don't doubt he's insane, or possibly the best itw. But, saying that he is, requires him to prove himself for a little longer.

Also KK been known best player in China for over a year or two, one of best players in Asia as a whole for long time (by asian pros). He isnt random pop off like demon1, his raw skill isnt rely on any specific agent so safe to say he wont fade away anytime soon
