Bork is pretty much a defensive item vs kha.Problem was lb.

it's an incredibly poor choice of defensive item after already having PD.


I'd go more along the line of the pd being the bad choice. I'd rather have blade + a defensive item then pd + a defensive item vs a kha'zix tbh

He built PD first, for the MS and for Crit unlock, however the issue is after the LW, it was apparently obvious that he was gunna get popped by Ryu or K6, instead he builds BOTRK, instead of Bveil, and finishing it off with IE. Hell, even if he didn't want to get Bveil that early, coulda went straight for IE and become a bigger threat so at least leopard would feel threatened to chase after him instead of xpeke.

He should have known that he would be getting popped by kha and lb before he built the pd though. It's not like lb and kha suddenly appeared in the game after he finished his pd. I'm just personally not a fan of pd against double assassin teams.

Compared to what? EU LCS? lol, they didn't look like they knew what they were doing at all once it got past mid game. Xpeke basically pissed his pants and ran away every team fight. I dunno where Rekkles was except dying offscreen. Yolopete the only saving grace of fnatic.

tbf, at that point in time fnatic was in control of the game, and ryu was behind for majority of that game, and insec was only threat, but wasn't that big of a deal at that time.

You mean Yolostar* also he's always the saving grace for Fnatic. Cyanide is just a non-factor every game lol

it really sucks at the start it looked like fanatic could win

maybe they could have if Soaz and Xpeke actually grew some balls and did something with their chars.

A 5 item top laner running from a 4 and a half item jungler.....

xpeke didn't get a single barrel combo onto ryu or score (the targets he kinda needs to kill) instead he threw it on a kha'zix with ulti damage reduction and 2 MR items.

Contrary to the casters opinion Insec's Kha didn't kill them. Their lack of focus on the people actually doing damage killed them.


I think KTB just knew how to engage vs Gragas, they were engaging in areas where both teams were split so they were jumping onto from different areas so. Gragas never got the 3-4 barrel. Then they had ryu and leopard on Rekkles while Insec went on morgana and then score took on everyone else. Fnatic just couldn't get their damage out.

Soaz was by far the weakest link in this game, perma using ulti defensively partly because he was putting himself in a position where he could take tons of free damage with no compensation at all and partly because he was chickening out.
Also Yellowstar missed too many clutch bindings in the 3-4 last teamfights.

tbf, at that point in time fnatic was in control of the game, and ryu was behind for majority of that game, and insec was only threat, but wasn't that big of a deal at that time.

But you should still be aware of the fact that eventually, unless you straight up win in the next 10-15 minutes, lba dn kha will be able to blow you up. It's just how they work.

I tend to play more of a triforce based lucian, so I'll admit to not being that experienced with the pros/cons of pd, but I don't see why you would choose pd in that situation. If ryu/kha stay behind, going straight for lw or blade helps you burst down the assassins if they every try to engage, and you can just kite olaf anyway, and if ryu and kha come back (which they probably will) then you aren't totally screwed.

To justify pd on the basis of ryu/kha not being a threat, you have to argue that the advantages of pd over something else against a behind kha and lb outweigh the risk of the kha and lb getting back into the game somehow, which i don't really see.

No Kha'Zix ban. Kha'Zix first pick for KTB. Let's see if there's a plan.
Zero fighting.
