In the new system the people at the top of kyber are guaranteed to face each other as the GAC progresses, so the ones who end up at the top have genuinely beaten all the best players and deserve their title.
Only applies to Kyber 1 and only partially correct even there.
Top of Kyber 1 equals good player but high GP does not equal best player.
Just... no. Maybe we don't agree on what makes someone the "best". I highly doubt there's a scrappy 5M player out there that could be handed the roster and mods of the guys at the top and compete at the top. There is SO MUCH to learn. From watching Ahnald's and Fatal's streams the last couple months, there is so much difference to the offense/defense meta, mod meta, counter meta than most have even thought about let alone mastered.
Having the latest shiney toys or theorycrafting guildmates does not equal best player either.
I actually watched a bit of an Ahnald stream recently. It was quite entertaining to see him make a rookie mistake against an Enfys Nest.
Again, I am not saying that the top players in Kyber 1 are not good players - they would have to be in order to beat their peers - just that they are not necessarily the best players. There are a lot of good players scattered throughout the leagues who are now buried in the rankings and are unlikely ever to be matched against the highest GP players.
