Stop acting like pros can 1v9 in their sleep at Worlds

All these comments and threads talking about players like Chovy, Deft, Knight, Bdd etc acting like if they aren't 1v9ing and going 20/0 then they're just playing like garbage are getting insane.

This series was a prime example, you had Chovy playing weak lane, no jg support, either playing supportive or into counterpicks with his team getting dominated across the map and people are trying to say he deserves the Dade award for "underperforming"? Do people actually watch the games? Players can't magically just go 1v9 against the best teams in the world every game especially when they're playing weak side and not being put on carry picks in pro play.

Just because a player isn't 1v9ing doesn't mean they're not impacting the game massively, Knight is a prime example, he's had some huge plays in team fights that have massively shifted fights in favour of TES. Yet because he's not getting 5 solo kills in lane and being 10/0 at 15 minutes playing Nocturne into a TF he's apparently awful and overrated?

I feel like people can't enjoy half these games at worlds because they've got insanely unrealistic expectations of what good plays are and think because people aren't playing like they're on the super server then they're obviously washed up.
