Soraka as a support is great if you can draw out fights. With heavy magic damage (Akali) her star call MR shred gets very scary very fast, and her silence is a very reliable shut down move. Akali ult in? Silence her and kill her before the silence wears off. (Clearly Akali wasn't picked yet when they picked Soraka, but the same applies, to some degree, for Talon if he jumps on anyone other than Soraka. Having TWO jumpey assassins is going to make it very hard for Soraka to keep up)
Three, if you count Lee Sin, who can piggy-back off the other 2 assassins' mobility.
Soraka is likely to be the main anti-carry target, given that Sypher was smart and picked up two carries that are hard to stick to and kill.

Holy shit, yes, you're absolutely right. There's a lot of potential for jaw-dropping play here from Fnatic, but it's a precarious strategy. If Sypher shut them out (with Nevermoves and silences and GP ults etc), this could backfire.
Not that I think this will happen. Soraka's heal armor buff would have been great against a less bursty caster, but Akali doesn't care that you have +120 armor. She still blows you up.

First blood on Cyanide who went brain afk.

Sypher go for the invade on the Fnatic Blue. They manage to get a Swain snare onto Lee Sin hiding at wolves brush and kill him for FB.

Stream died again -.-. From Denmark.

Sypher takes first blood yet again. Swain catches Lee Sin and they run in and blow him up.

Akali mid v Swain
Talon top v Garn
Trist+Soraka stars by taking double mini golems before going into lane
GP takes Blue first, Lee Sin starts wraiths
Akali does a lot of damage on Swain at initial harass trade, almost kills him!

Swain has burned all his potions mid. Bought a Saph Crystal with his FB money.
Lee Sin goes top for a gank but decides against it.

13 cs on Trist v 20 on Ez bot lane. Not looking good for Sypher.

How I hate justin/twich tv. Can't believe even IEM switched to it.

I thought that exchange was pretty weird. Swain just sat in akali's shroud and kept csing despite already being only a little over half health. He was really lucky to have survived that.

Trist goes back to buy. Picks up another Doran.
Garen lets Talon push to his tower. GP covers mid while Swain goes back to buy a Ruby and more pots.
Lee Sin tries to gank top but nothing achieved. Oh, they choose to dive and do indeed kill him.

Talon picks up a Bruta.
Swain lands a snare on Akali and throws everything at him. Kills him.

Alth0r kills Peke in midlane straight-up. Akali now bought hextech pistol, should be fine.

Swain now has his Cata. Ez outfarming Trist 57-47. Garen doing his swin to win but then Akali comes and they burst him down.

so glad TL has this thread now that I noticed Twitch tv and J.tv is blocked at work  atleast I can keep up to date with this thread until we close in oh 50min time.
kinda surprised Sypher dis so well (positivly ofc), the fnatic vs sypher match is going to be interesting as the two teams both highly skilled are trying to counter each other out (Fnatic by running assasins to jump over the tanky and beefy champs to the carries>< sypher running a ton of slows, snares and overall:"youarenotgoinganywhere" attitude) gonna be interesting seeing who will come out on top. imo I think Fnatic will do it, but sypher can still make surprises so.

Top lane ~20 CS advantage for Fnatic, other lanes equal.

Akali and Swain trade at mid, GP ults as well. Akali comes out on top. Swain goess to take the blue buff.
Akali and Talon come to fight. Garen arrives too and they kill Talon.
Akali tries to might off Swain as he returns to lane but barely doesn't thanks to heal.

Fight in jungle, kill picked up on Shushei who was near Sypher's blue. EZ caught up and passed by Tristana in CS. Fnatic taking dragon uncontested.
