LGD has a lot more control and that's why they just won that.

I think people do take note of Topson being outclassed in the laning phase by people like Sumail and Maybe but clearly he has redeeming qualities. Few people play like he does on his unique set of heroes. And it's pointless to harp on the laning after the games if OG is winning. I think if they were losing to EG / LGD in 25mins due to getting badly dominated in lane then he'd be getting plenty of flak.

This looks like LGD's win from here on out but I don't remember how many times I've said this about OG's games only to be proven wrong

LGD teamfighting on a knife's edge there. Looking much brighter for them than last game.

What does it matter if Topson gets solo killed when OG ends up winning most of their games anyway? Topson is prob overrated but if anything it goes to show that being good in lane isn't his contributing factor.

Topson not playing safe most of the time is kinda what made OG really hard to play against.

Sumail is probably low-key the best individual player this ti (not even a sumail fan but most of his games this ti is solid). Topson is just a reliable mid when he needs to be.

He is what his team needs to be.

Which is honestly the most important thing. It doesn't matter if midone or sumail farms faster or plays better individually if his playstyle doesn't fit what OG needs for their midplayer. Topson is still who is gonna make them do well.

We are waay past the point of individual skill mattering more than team contribution in the highest levels

I don't find sumail above the rest once the laning phase is over.

EDIT: But OG will not make it to that point if they will feed like this.
