Not to diminish his accomplishment, but one reason for his 6:0 start is the quality of his opponents, or lack thereof, as he is not the captain of the team and doesn't normally get to match up with the strongest player on the other team. The highest rated player he beat in this winning streak is Xie Ke (#20), and the average rating of his opponents is 3367. It's a similar situation with Xu Jiayang, who is a higher-ranked player himself but has faced an even weaker set of opponents during his 6:0 start (average rating of 3300). By comparison, Ke Jie (6:0) and Shin (5:0) needed to beat average ratings of 3455 and 3502 respectively to maintain their unbeaten streaks.
