Does Fortnite Account Merge Reset Stats?

I'm sure some of you may be aware that Fortnite has FINALLY given us a way to merge our accounts. However, I wish to know if our stats will be reset in the event I create a new Username/Account and merge it with my previous one. I know all cosmetics etc will be moved to my new account but will my stats reflect there too?

According to this source (except the part that is a mention about the delay)

In November, we’re going to release an “account merging” system so you can combine multiple console-linked accounts to transfer Battle Royale cosmetic item purchases, lifetime wins, V-Bucks, and Save the World campaign access.

So stats will be transferred => merged.

Other source mention game stats will be merged.
