Now let's talk about MSI, and why I wanted to establish that the criteria themselves are flawed before getting into this. I still do not know why MSI, the midseason international event, wasn't in the criteria, while KESPA Cup, a preseason event, was. So I pulled Riot's API and ran their own criteria stats across 2024–2026: EWC 2025, MSI 2024–25, Worlds 2024–25, LCK 2024–26, and First Stand 2025–26. The result: Kiin ranks #1 in Overall (image 1), and clearly so. Include KESPA Cup (image 2) as well and the margin narrows, but he's still #1. For a moment, I'm willing to set aside every concern about whether these are even the right metrics, and take their stat list exactly as given. Even then, the moment the event scope is wider, Kiin is the top player. He only isn't #1 if the window stays narrow, limited to just their chosen list of events. And you don't even have to agree with my earlier point that the metrics themselves are flawed. Even using their statistical metrics across a wider, fairer set of events, their own numbers put Kiin first. Kiin deserves better.

아놀드는 자기가 어제 한 주장처럼 케스파가 선정한 기준이 의미 없다고 말하고, 이 사실에 동의하지 않는 사람들이 있더라도 그 기준을 msi, fst, ewc까지 확장하면 기인이 앞선다는걸 말해주고 있어 하지만 몇몇사람들은 어제는 지표가 무의미 하다더니 왜 이젠 지표를 꺼내냐며 논점을 흐리고있지
