if it's true that kiin will have to retire for military service by the end of 2026 because he wasn't selected for Asian games, this is criminal using stats alone was already flawed but this...




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.


@F3nRa3LL @TwitchNier Where? Using the 13 Kespa Metrics to the best of my ability shows Viper was better in all the tournaments including LcK cup 2025 which is not pictured since Guma played 2 series Guma was only better in road to MSi, so what are you talking about? lol

Viper is CONTESTING the Asian Games decision !!! According to HongCha, the reason he went back to Korea was to contest the Asian Games decision with his agency. There is a 10 days-period to do it and they want to have no regrets even if the chances for a change are very small.
