Uzi's Caitlyn is in my opinion better than his Vayne and it definitely has the carry potential that his Corki was severely lacking in the last game. This is a good pick in my opinion and I really like it. Kayle is an interesting pick. It has heavily fallen off even though the meta suits her extremely well - She counters assassins. The fact that she isn't picked despite a favorable meta just speaks volumes about her... Not being all that good anymore.

Why pick varus so early wtf.What's the point...

I guess they didn't want Royal to possibly rob them of puszu's comfort pick. Who else would they pick that they need to steal from Royal?

I'm excited to see well played Kayle, except I want fnatic to tie up the series

man loving both comps. Please a good game, expecting both peke and Puszu to be crushed in cs again though.

Fnatic left Royal everything for a Fizz/Annie/Shen/Twitch draft so gotta pick away the Fizz probably

Is this comp a thing in china?

Really like the Kayle pick up - amazing that she hasn't been played so far

Feel like Kennen was better than Rumble, but hopefully SoAz plays strong

Uzi does not play support ADCs like Varus, MF or Ashe

In fact, he despises them

Royal's team looks pretty good in standart lanes.It's up to fnatic to make some plays.

Yep; Varus brings huge utility, and he can start with BT, which is much cheaper and easier to get, than an infinity to Ashe.

they keep talking about the lanes like this isn't a 100% lane swap situation

Soaz has a good Rumble and it does well against Shen in the early game. Fnatic definitely is looking to 2v2. Let's see if Royal out-mindgames them with the lane swaps.
