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.

It isn't about just farming faster. Its him falling behind them purely in lane in matchups he should win. it is him just solo dying to the enemy midlaner. That isn't a playstyle thing or him doing what OG needs him to do. That is him being out played. And that is all fine if people treat him like the player he is but it feels like fans and even commentators and analysts act like he is a tier 1 mid player and he just isn't. He fits with OG for sure but OG would also be a much stronger team if his early game was on par with other tier 1 teams midlaners.

OG also wouldn't even be close to their performance without topson.

So guess they'll have to play with their strenghts. No player is perfect

If you ignore the times when topson's high risk style yields high rewards and only choose to remember when he fails, sure Topson is not tier 1.

Why would LGD pick a game where 1 mistake is costing them the game ? just play "normal" dota , where you can lose a rosh or get your 2 support die and still be in the game , got cocky and punished hard for letting the Alch through again.

OG got destroyed the entire game, alche was still strong enough to take Rosh without any struggle and any mistake from LGD costs them the game, how is that fair? Seems like not baning alche is inting everytime

High risk always ends up with more deaths than playing like the usual midlaner like sumail does but it does yield reward. For OG they are winning when it matters

OG and Liquid haven't faced each other apart from a group stage game in TI8

Would definitely be nice to have that as the grand finals
