Dude, Frank has been around for a looong time. He's not some new talent. Dude is a Veteran with capital V. He was part of the the infamous Thunder Predator team that went 0-16 at TI in 2021. And in 2021 he was already an experienced player. You are greatly overestimating him. I do agree he has shown to be pretty good at some specific heroes.
Yeah, he's a veteran but just gaining that popularity when he's with a good team. Well, that's not overestimation but just appreciation and I like how consistent he is.
I am done with 4nalog. I have 0 hope for him, unless something drastically changes, and he swaps roles and magically becomes decent. He's one of (if not) the worst midlaners that has gravitated tier1 for the past 2 years. As for MidOne, you probably didn't see his 2 seasons in offlane, during the last 2 years of DPC playing for SMG. He was actually really damn good. Thats why i said he's a better offlaner than mid. He also played offlane for OG for some time. Dude can cook in the offlane. He feeds way too much in the midlane, and midlane is all about efficiency right now. He tries to be a playmaker from the midlane and those days are gone. If you watch the best midlaners of today, they are efficiency machines. GpK, Malr1ne, Noone etc.
I remember SMG and it's out of my memory that he played offlane there but it's also one powerhouse in SEA. I won't be harsh on midone for his midlane since it took him long time before he came back to pro. No doubt about those best midlaners you've mentioned, no one goes back to his peak and let's see if they'll steal the aegis this season.
Maybe MidOne as a midlaner could work with Smiling Knight as a carry, since he's a bit more farm-oriented player. But MidOne and Crystallis was a terrible combo.
I hope it will because I want to see new names like SK proceed to tier 1.
