OG Sumail's Return
According to OG's Redbull website, Sumail will be playing position one in the team. This means that he will be the carry-player or safe-laner.
Since he will be the main carry of the team, Sumail will be responsible for earning the most gold and experience so that he can push more enemy turrets and deal tons of damage.
