Nix considered Topson an unsuitable mid laner for LGD Gaming at The International 2026

Guys, about Topson. He’s actually a bad mid laner for LGD because they need a mid laner who’s a *** [carry], but they picked a sap mid laner. For Yuma, this is a really bad choice. It’s a *** [defeat] with no chance of winning, especially with sap-crabs like Tolik [Thiolicor. — Ed.] and KJ. There’s absolutely no way out of that.

He’ll be running around on Earth, and in the end, no one will actually use that space except Wisper—and Wisper alone won’t be enough. That’s it. If they face a decent team, they’ll *** [lose] instantly.

I said he’s a bad mid laner for them. Because Topson is a good mid laner for greedy carries like Satanic, Yatoro, and Pure—the kind of guys who can carry him, who’ll level up fast and then play flawlessly in hardcores.

Yuma is just a bad carry player for him. That’s why I think Topson is a bad replacement for them. Well, in my opinion. They’d be better off picking someone like Quinn, who can *** [dominate] on both Puck and Pangolier—he’s in good form right now. Well, then again, maybe he turned down the invite himself.

Maybe someone like kiyotaka—a more aggressive mid laner who plays for himself, like gpk or Nisha. But in reality, it turns out they picked a sap mid with weak supports. Anyway, I don’t know, it’s like they’re totally *** [screwed], in my opinion.
