Topson REJOINS OG?! | Not For Broadcast

Cap and SVG rank the hardest and most dominant runs in Dota 2 TI history, from Wings Gaming at TI6 to Team Spirit's TI15 comeback. Prompted by an LFN Premium subscriber, the pair make the case for OG's TI8 run and Team Spirit's TI10 lower bracket march as the toughest paths to the Aegis, and debate whether Team Liquid's near-perfect TI13 was pure dominance or a meta built for them. The episode opens with a reaction to OG's official roster around Topson and a hard look at whether Wisper is the right offlaner for Team Liquid. Cap and SVG also recap the PGL Wallachia group stage, where Team Yandex and Xtreme Gaming both went 3-0, and preview BLAST's return to GSL groups. Plus: a Reddit thread that took the show out of context, and why the scene should want SumaiL to keep playing. Topics covered: ⦁ Is OG's new international roster around Topson doomed from the start? ⦁ Is Wisper a true S-tier offlaner, and can he fit Team Liquid's structure? ⦁ PGL Wallachia groups: Team Yandex and Xtreme Gaming go 3-0, PlayTime goes 0-3 ⦁ Why didn't 1w make a single roster change after TI? ⦁ Which TI champion had the hardest road to the Aegis? ⦁ Wings Gaming, OG, or Team Liquid: who had the most dominant TI run? ⦁ Is the GSL group format good for Dota at BLAST? ⦁ SumaiL, retirement backlash, and Reddit clips taken out of context PrizePicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/NFB and use code NFB and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup!
