Here's a fun stat. @Demon1___ just dropped the most kills ever in an international VCT BO5. He got 101 kills, an improvement on his previous best of 99 (Tokyo vs. PRX) That 99 was already better than @loud_less ' 98 at LOCK//IN (vs. FNC) and Jinggg's 95 at Copenhagen (vs. FPX).

I'm not questioning ScreaM's performance or even his IGLing skills, I liked a lot of what he put up at LCQ. But surely he has to be aware of how much ACS sucks as a stat, and how much it's particularly tailored to his role and not somebody else's.... right?
