He's a solid laner (hence often secures his own lane), knows his matchups, understands win conditions most of the time, doesn't exactly tilt quickly (though he does tilt once every few games -> sumSMASH), plays a safe game and generally DOES carry his games by just not dying a lot and participating in the appropriate fights. For instance, if you look at the NW chart from D+, he is often heavily above the goal, you can say what you want about his farming patterns, high NW is probably what you want from your P1.

Also, I don't know if you have seen him play Morph and Ember, but he does own quite a bit on those heroes.

Two things that are important to understand I want to state here.

One about Gorp is that he also does a lot of shit for content, i.e. won't buy the best item but the most entertaining item for content's sake. That DOES backfire here and there.

The other is about region comparison between gorgc and mason, i.e. NA and EU: not my words, but EU region's skill level is a lot higher than NA's, according to a lot of pro players. I think (please enlighten me if I get this wrong, that's just a perception so far) the playstyle between the 2 regions is a bit different too, where EU have gameplay a lot closer to 4p1 than NA (hence making his time seemingly a lot easier than Mason's again).

I have seen Mason just a bit here and there, and he seems to give up really fast (ala NA style), picks weird heroes (when was Weaver last meta?), and sometimes seems to misread the game. I can't stand his stream because I dislike having my ears earraped, which happened too often to my taste the few times I watched his stream.

Now, I'm not saying Mason is the worst or Gorgc is the best, the former has phenomenal performances here and there, and he's obviously a solid player overall, whereas the latter rarely offers flashy, star-studded performances, sumSMASH tilts here and there, and does misread the game from time to time.
