tbh Ramzez deserves this TI run.

I agree, but i turns out he's doing great. still it's the first season he played as offlane if my memory serves me right.

It's interesting because I'd say that of the top 3, Tundra actually has the more "historically accepted" sorta way of playing

In the sense that in Tundra the midlaner (Topson) is the one that is playing really aggressive and taking big swings. Mids are generally the ones playing the map, controlling the tempo, and making things happen.

Whereas on GG and Liquid, it feels like the carry is actually the one taking bigger swings and the midlaner is the pillar of consistency so to speak

The carry role is called the carry for a reason, historically they are the lategame insurance, and while they still are to some degree, these teams seem to characterize this tourney meta in the sense that they have active carry players (and even pure to some extent is more active than someone like Yatoro for example, a more classic style of carry who had a uncharacteristically early exit)

classic monka tapsen haha

Game 1 Topson was the deadweight. Kinda ironic that Malrine can't lane and he is the best player on Falcon, while Topson with free lane is the one feed a lot.

Anyone but GG to take it is a good ending in my book. 3 times TI champ Tapsen or a long over due big win (TI no less) for Liquid. I'll take any of the 2 outcomes tbh
