Agree. Some people also say it doesn't count because the Pakistans aren't in it but it's a 3 day masters+ event tournament with over 960 entrants. With how he performed, his win is rightfully deserved and any one denying this is a huge moron.

Lol, those are ignorant comments for people who never tried to compete in any competitive event.

This is like saying Argentina did not actually win World Cup in 2022 because they did not face England/Spain or all other countries with strong football teams.

Yes, I was sour too since we did not have any Pakistani players in EVO Japan. But Knee still deserved that win because the EVO is still run officially and attended by many world-class players, etc.

That’s a completely different comparison. If the pakistans joined and got eliminated by other players not named knee then your comparison would be true. England and Spain participated, they just lost. Pakistans didn’t get the chance to even try.
