I was about to say that Cookiezi's accuracy was statistically 2nd to lewa's, but for consistency's sake he could produce better accuracy than anyone on his first play.
Those who saw Cookiezi play actively 2+ years ago know that he chained #1's like it was nothing, even sticking on DT on maps no one else had DT'd yet... on his first play. rrtyui has done some good stuff yes, but he expends a lot of effort to do so, whereas Cookiezi made it look like a piece of cake.
rrtyui is producing comparatively better scores, but his consistency is the last thing that needs to improve before he finally surpasses him. Right now the scales are only tipping in Cookiezi's favour because we, for some obscure reason, rate consistency on par with the difficulty of the scores set. It doesn't matter that playcount as a statistic is irrelevant, because the playcount that we see in the form of endless retries as spectators is actually relevant.
Every sport and e-sport is ultimately a spectator sport. Whether you classify this game as an e-sport or not doesn't matter, the fact is that there is a crowd and consistency is a very peculiar quality in the eyes of the spectator. People are constantly trying to gauge each other by what work you do or what games or sports you play... assessing your intellect, mental and physical performance based on how well you do it (often assessing all 3 from a single category, which is a big mistake, but often happens). To do that we need to gather information that we can actually see. If he rarely makes mistakes, it's very difficult to determine what he can and can't do. That will lead to our assumptions getting the better of us, thinking he can do things which he probably can't do, if only he decided to retry a lot... just because he's very consistent. Another big mistake. Fact is we can be tricked, but not in a malevolent way, and think less of rrtyui just because he decides to retry something, finally giving us the information we need.
