Stop giving advice, you're divine 3. Don't hurt others.
As for OP, Sven can only mid against specific heroes like Void Spirit/Brood/Skywrath. In scenarios where you're allowed get decent cs in lane, you can scale super strong because you can jungle much earlier than a safelaner. So to answer the question of whether or not he can mid? Yeah he can but he's not someone you spam as mid but pick as a niche counter/punish.

@OP Here, I was the Sven in this game. Enemy picked Void mid so I countered him. That lane is really bad for Void. To trade with you, he's gotta buy tons of regen and nulls instead of getting early phase/bottle. If he ganks, you free farm and scale super well against him. If he tries to lane with you, you still come out on top and your relieve your sidelanes of pressure.
As Vader said, against some given matchups can be good but you really need to be a good midlaner (rune controls, rotations, mid-camp stacking, [...]) in the first place and have a very good understanding of the matchups (power spikes, rune dependance, ...).
I mean, anything can work (disruptor mid destroys nigma lul). It's like picking AA mid to punish huskar being low hp perma.
you can build dominator like old times get yourself a range creep and stack ancients as a carry. Or ask a team mate to do it. But if its just for neutral items it's not worth it. But as i said before. Everything can work in pub.
But if you fail and feed youll get reported and into LP.
any hero can work in mid to a certain extent
sven is pretty damn good he can shove wave with storm hammer and cleave and he can jungle camps around mid and hes not too terrible in teamfights altho u need cc heavier team mates to make it work
i dun think u ever go dominator sven lol, last time ancients give a lot of gold and games a lot slower cuz early game no fighting. even if u behind its like consider items like mom all this but not dominator
as for vaikiss, i mean u can spam him mid cuz this dude can jungle as early as lvl 3 but enemy midlaner gets free lane. u just get zoned out by most mids who will win lane make more impact in map while u jungling to catchup
that being said, is there any reliable way to do ancients early on in either side?
Radiant lost their advantage on that regard, and TA mid lost some edge because of it
@vader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H1vu8gsv9c i mean sure he won't do as well against heroes liek sf qop and other traditional midlaners but hes in noway bad
prettysure u can still stack ancients with trap just need to find perfect distance that it actually works

With the recent buff to his Q and extra drop rates from anchients, do you guys think sven mid could be viable
