Saying kkz is underrated is like saying shooting star is underrated xD

A lot of players from KZ-RUSH servers...

I see that some people are just throwing names and missing the point what exactly is the underated player by community worth discussing about.
From the mentioned Shock is for me after kkz the least player who should be discussed as underated.
Younger ones probably don't know but he started recording around 2010, and is one of the longest active players xj have. For me he is something like Robban was for cs 1.6 and esp for SK. Not appreciated by big part of community because he was never flashy as some bigger names SK had,by rest seen as one the best the game had because he menaged to keep high level and play with 16 different teammates in SK.
From the already mentioned names I will have to mention again buh as someone who had only 9 wrs but menaged to get prochallenge_bhop,bkz_volcanobhop,fof_utopia. By the choice of the maps he had wrs on you can see that he was talented and skilled enough to have much more records on bhop and speed maps and maybe even become one of the very best bhoppers ever.
patchouli,for me she already showed enough to be considered in a goat group with kkz and ss even tho she had much less maps then them. But the level of runs itself jesus fuck. Runs on kz_synergy_x,kzno_xtremeblock,kz_minimountain are some of top10 most unbeatable records on xj. If she cared for the ammounts of records on different maps as much as fyksen does for example she could have 200 today.
The most underated player ever and probably the most talented was kzz1lla, arguing he wasn't is arguing if he was/is legal just like with topovigys.
He had 30 wrs on 25 different maps, half of those maps were one of the most wanted maps then and now, strafejumpZ and wallblock would still be today in top10 hardest to beat runs if they weren't beaten by the guy I'm 50% sure is cheating in some way, beside all that the most insane thing about kzz1lla is that his first wr was published 27.06.2015 and last 22.12.2015. That's in less then 6 fucking months!
I remember someone from xj made an interview with him back in 2015, remember reading that his pc was worth 11k$, I also remember that he said that he doesn't have a lot of free time since he was studying law, that noone ever showed him anything about kz and that he learned everything himself. Now when I think about those things from interview and the fact that he is from Qatar It's quite possible that he was from one of those really wealthy families whose kids don't have a lot of free time to spend and focus on things like games like we ordinary mortals have :) That would explain the fact why he suddenly disappeared but also that in much much less playing time he reached a level only few accomplished ever.
I have to get back on topoviygus my intuition based on everything I witnessed for 10-15 years was telling me that there is no fucking way anyone could become as good as him in every discipline there is for a such short period he needed to reach a level that he is able to beat 90% of records on xj. What made me lower my certainty about him beeing 100% cheater is that most of the cheaters would go for qauntity or for quality commonly accepted by everyone, that would feed their ego beeing accepted as best. Non cheaters who would want to feed their ego would go for what they think is the hardest challenge and even tho kzz1lla was never commonly accepted as the one, topoviygus probably saw him as a biggest challenge. Don't think that anyone beside maaaybe patchouli would even have balls to even try beeting strafejumpZ. Would be great to hear from shNz if he actually gave it a try to see if it's possible to take it back after kzz1lla improved shNz's run on it by more then 3 seconds or he straight away acknowledged run as impossible to beat :)

i would say kzz1lla (had some wrs that noone thought will get beaten), phyzyp (improved some records on hard maps by a lot, i would say he can compete with patchoulli even), quad (i dont recall many wrs from him, but watching him play on pubs is always a joy). i would also say there are some people on kz rush servers that would have a good chance of taking wrs if they would care enough to do so imo

i would also say people like deathclaw, hardbitter, rawe or promax are not appreciated enough mostly due to the fact that they have been there for a long time and are not flashy enough (or didnt record the most exciting maps to watch) to be talked about, but are still amazing players

+vox, in the 2nd category aswell i think
