I could be wrong, but it seems most of the best players in the world will play the kings indian attack in blitz tournaments no problem, but its rare to see the same guys play it in long time control games.
who is the best Kings Indian Attack player

Thank you. Whose games should I study, then, in order to build the KIA-based opening repertoire (I intend to start with 1. Nf3)?
A good introduction to the KIA is surprisingly Dvoretsky's book Opening Preparation. It's only 2 chapters in a book that covers many other things, but it's a great two chapters on the KIA.
Maybe, it would be helpful to look at The King's Indian Attack Move by Move by GM Neil McDonald (2014).
You´ll also find quite a few games where Teimour Radjabov play KIA.
