I actually think trading Rek'Sai for Lulu is pretty good for FNC, although I guess having Kuro on Lulu is okay. It would be better for FNC to get so making KOO take it and still getting Rek'sai is smart.

That's the counterplay to pretty much everyone, though. The point is that there's no other champion in the game countered by flanking or superior vision who can press a single button on you and deal 130% of your HP.

The counterplay to Veigar ult is Zhonya's/invulnerabilites

i'd much rather pick lulu than give reignover reksai

Having Febiven on Lulu is way better than RO on Rek'Sai but Febiven can play way more champs than RO can.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I feel like Fnatic didn't get a lot of power picks for a Blue side draft. Really not sure about this.

Again: everyone is countered by that, but no other midlaner can tap a button on you from 650 range to deal that much damage. About the closest you can get to that kind of safe burst is Lux, and even that requires you to aim both Light Binding and Final Spark properly.

You can tell that FNC wanted so bad to be able to counterpick Smeb, KOO read them like a book and gave Smeb the last pick.

e: Didn't realise KOO didn't go with Fiora in the end. Not sure why not though.

FNC is really good at playing around carry tops and even though Huni is tilty it goes both ways. He can snowball a Riven like crazy.

I suspect they think it's no longer such a big deal since dragon/Baron timers are globally announced, which was the big concern with crowd calls before.

Indeed, soundproof booths should be a standard... But Riot probably wants the player to be close to the crowd (why?)

The riven has been naturalized by the great innovator, Smeb. Now that he's innovated top lane Hecarim I think we can comfortably call him the most important top laner of the decade.
