T1's top side is truly legendary in a bad way. Getting 3rd place is nothing short of a miracle

There is literally no time when they play well.
They start every laning phase at a deficit of at least 500 gold.
Even when things go well and they win through gold advantage, the return on investment is practically zero.
Every single match and every single game, it's just a one-trick pony focused on the bot lane.
It is truly a miracle that they even managed to take 3rd place.
