This "first international" narrative is so boring. We've had many and many rookies play in int. events and they fried. I don't see the ranking as unreasonable. These players single handedly carried their teams to Toronto. (Kaajak, Jemkin)
Jemkin was thanos throughout stage 1, I don't have a ton of hopium for RRQ making it far in Toronto (they're a hard team to trust) but Jemkin deserves to be mentioned as a top player going into Toronto
