The Lux/Kite team is the type of team that EG like to run quite often and he clearly know how to play it well.
I can see now the idea behind the composition. Where you have Shen split pushing in one lane while the rest of the team pushes another. The Cho/Zyra disengage is really strong, combine that with Lux and Cait's ranged sniping and you have something that is very difficult to attack.
Unfortunately they picked that into a fantastic dive comp with tons of engage. It could have worked though, true.
The point that it's such a good counter engage team is what made it GOOD against a team with lots of dive. That's the entire point. You dive in and what? Shen ults, Cait pew pews your ass in the back and you got two knockups, silences, snares, etc. Wolves played it horribly. As someone just mentioned, Zyra's ults were like trying NOT to hit people or something.
I know people are trying to be nice and say Wolves aren't so bad, etc. (Some even going so far to say they can beat top 3 NA teams, wtf???) They did bad that game. They had a good prepared early comp, yes. But once it passed that, it was clear they're deserving their 0-8.

There comes a point though when you don't have enough disengage (as EG found out yesterday) and actually Lux doesn't have great escape. AP Nid would make more sense if that was your goal.
If you can dive onto Lux/Cait then you can somewhat ignore the rest.
Shen is a slow DPSer, Cho'gath is more CC than DPS - you can ignore these players.
I'm leaning towards it being closer, but I'm not convinced it's a counter-pick at all.

How is nida a better disengage than lux lol?You have a heal and a jump.Lux has a slow and a bind to keep them in zyra ult.Ap nida most overrated champ in the game currently imo.

Every EU-game but one this week has had Volibear in the jungle. GG Diamondprox.

Tear on TF is strange. ôo And I don't mind Voli as much as Xin, pick/ban material is fine, but we see so much of him.

That is the power of AP nidalee, all the doubters...

All APs need to know how to play Nid at this rate.

Always had good hope that AAA could be the next talent team that make CLS shine.
