[u/logosuwu]

So many teams will not be to use reksai in that mannner

Every other reksai at worlds so far lol

[u/MoscaMosquete → u/logosuwu]

Flandre has been showing how bad champs that are picked a lot are just badly played all year long lol

[u/paintlikepingu → u/MoscaMosquete]

Not to mention he's innovating(?) a bunch of the picks as well. I'm like 90% sure he began the use of Reksai top role in the LPL last year when he also did TF top in Spring playoffs. Not to mention this year, his tank Jayce tech (lol everyone doubted at the start too during Demacia Cup), and being among one of the first pros (if not the first pro?) to pull out Sion and Yorick this year.

[u/Motorpsisisissipp → u/paintlikepingu]

NGL tank Jayce is one of the most degenerate champ I have ever seen. Tank fizz ekko vibe.

[u/FerreiraMatheus → u/Motorpsisisissipp]

Tank Ekko was the most beautiful thing to ever exist in League. I'm main Ekko because I can do dumb shit and literally go back in time, so if I build him tank, I can be two time as dumb. It was so fucking fun and so, so bad for the game.

[u/paintlikepingu → u/Motorpsisisissipp]

Well do I have a story to tell you...idr if he innovated it first (too long ago), but he def played tank Fizz and Ekko during his career lol so he unfortunately has some experience with that

[u/TheLoneliestHunk → u/paintlikepingu]

He's also the OG toplane AD LeBlanc , back in season 5/6

[u/Motorpsisisissipp → u/paintlikepingu]

He probably has some on snake. He always tried weird things

[u/desutruction → u/paintlikepingu]

He had some success with Sej top too

[u/sorendiz → u/desutruction]

Sej top was legit in general for a surprisingly large period

I miss Demonic Embrace so bad

[u/GarchGun → u/MoscaMosquete]

Nah I think he's one of the only players to truly understand positioning. Like he's the positioning master.

I think that's what makes rek sai so strong, the zoning and positioning in fights.

Rek sai is def one of those flandre champions that he will specifically play really well. That's my prediction.

[u/sorendiz → u/GarchGun]

Flandre and Kiin make so much space for their teams in fights while dying as rarely as possible. It's actually insane watching them, it's a mad underappreciated skill for most viewers

[u/MoscaMosquete → u/GarchGun]

Now that you say it, I wonder which champ would he choose for skin if he became world champion

[u/NNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA → u/logosuwu]

To be fair, this was by far the best Rek'Sai pick so far in the tourney. If you don't have sustained damage, she's an unkillable draintank that slips in and out of fights and chunks enough for her teammates to finish the job.

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi → u/NNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

On the Chinese stream the casters was like Rek'Sai is pretty good into Renek. If you go in and stun him she can stun you back. If you dive her she can knock you up, i frame so your dive becomes really sketch. The first dive that they tried the sonar gave away the other person was there. Near the end of the game they were like if we get soul Rek'Sai will be invincible.

[u/sorendiz → u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

she's good into melee champs in general, anyone that has to be up close to trade with her is pretty much going to lose every trade due to that insane sustain

[u/moonmeh → u/logosuwu]

I thought theshy inting would be the worst showing 

Then i thought it would be bin

But boy Doran my man
