 Abasov didn't come via the Grand Swiss, he came via the World Cup.
That happens to be true! 1 spot to the winner of both the World Cup and Grand Swiss in that case

 Abasov didn't come via the Grand Swiss, he came via the World Cup.

True enough, but the list of players he did beat in that event was amazing.

It is a genuinely striking coincidence, so not much more needs to be added.
