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.

Así ha sido el momento de locura de Medvedev al comienzo del segundo set. Una de las imágenes más surrealistas de los últimos tiempos.

If you believe this you'll believe literally anything. The only relevant question is what accounting trick they're abusing.

Seeing the amount of people tag some of the @playriftbound devs flaming them over the Vegas situation is horrible — Worse because they clearly don't seem to know much about Riot too.
Vegas situation is not good, but keep in mind Riot is not other companies and that should already be evident from how communicative they have been with the community. Complain about the situation, sure, but flaming people who have nothing to do with it does nothing.
Voice your complaints and frustrations about the situation, don't direct it at people who had nothing to do with it - yet are actively likely involved in trying to remedy it for everyone.

Reminder that when a fanboy tells you their favourite player doesn't follow social media that is what they said about Rekkles for 12 years until I revealed that MANY team-mates over his whole career said the opposite and he reads EVERYTHING.
Fans are expressing their fantasy. They have no idea.
