You serious? After the patch KDZ was washed up, constantly losing and never winning a single break tourney since the patch, he lost to theo and couldn't get out of pools at NEC and that was the time of reckoning, his accomplishments before the patch were mostly insignificant because of the vast difference between pre and post-patch superman, so there was clearly room for doubt, and he was definitly NOT a top 5 player before this tourney.
But anyways, huge props to KDZ, he has truly proven himself at this tourney.
