Dang, no Nasus.
No splitpusher/duelist in general either, they're going for a big wall too. Makes sense though, since they have Kog who's not as safe as Corki and prefers teamfighting anyway. Not sure if Mundo to protect go beats Maokai to defend Tristana.

Why didn't TSM grab Yasuo after seeing the Mundo? They have a fair bit of knockups with Maokai and Nami.

This time Dig with really good picks. Interesting that Amazing takes Elise over Kha in this patch.

They're looking for very early teamfighting, dragon control, skirmishes all over the place with their comp, it makes perfect sense.

Even though Digs picks look better this game it might actually be worse for them since this is relying on their botlane.

Was support helping offlaner a thing? I seem to see it more and more.

Omg, I completely don't agree with how they played that. A nunu bloodboil+kogmaw+mundo with masochism (and less than 50% hp) can push so much faster in a 4/0 -notice how they could've rotated faster to the top lane at that time-, but whatever. I guess Dig wants to farm and safe adc lanes because it still seems their botlane is slumping.

It's Lucian and Elise so Mundo's actually not that bad. He won't be big enough to tank 1v5 like Maokai will (well, not sure... how hard does Kog's mixed damage shred him?) but he should be a big enough of a threat to Lucian if Syndra's combo doesn't drop him too low before ult.
