Zheng ‘ZmjjKK’ Yongkang, who plays for Edward Gaming, has become one of the most underappreciated players at the VCT Masters Tokyo, and a particular statistic helps explain why he is sticking out so much. EDG overcame the odds and advanced to the playoff stage of the VCT Masters Tokyo by defeating NAVI and T1, both by a score of 2-0, thanks in large part to the contributions of the 19-year-old player.
ZmjjKK tied for first place in the VLR rating category during the group stage (1.22), along with Evil Geniuses’ Ethan ‘Ethan’ Arnold. ZmjjKK also finished in first place in the ACS category (280.1) and in the kills per round category (0.99). On the other hand, he was light years ahead of the rest of the field in one particular statistic.
Zmjjkk’s Operator stats
During the tournament’s group stage, Sushant ‘Ominous’ Jha, a Valorant analyst who works for Bleed Esports, disclosed that ZmjjKK posted an astounding 0.24 Operator kills per round on the assault. Who is the next player in proximity? On the offensive side, Evil Geniuses’ Max ‘Demon1’ Mazanov only averaged 0.05 Operator kills per round.
It is no surprise that ZmjjKK has become one of the most exciting players in VCT Masters Tokyo, given that he was alone responsible for 53% of the Operator kills that occurred during Attack. Following EDG’s victory versus NAVI on Tuesday, caster Arten ‘Balla’ Esa declared without hesitation that ZmjjKK is one of the best five Operators in the world. In the upper bracket quarter-finals, EDG will play against Team Liquid, the first seed in EMEA. Many people will be interested to see whether ZmjjKK will continue to put on a show or whether Igor ‘Redgar’ Vlasov will find a method to limit the influence of the young Chinese Operator.
