Faker is the literal best Azir and Anivia in pro-play, but today was not it. The Anivia was great except for a few overextensions, but the Azir build is likely why the game was so difficult. Had he just gone grasp Azir, Akali would not be able to one-shot him. It's not like T1 didn't have damage, but in any case grasp Azir would eventually outdamage Akali anyway! Just weird. He makes the same build mistake with Galio too where he just refuses to build tank. Very frustrating. I think Roamer was really bad today though, not sure why he is rated higher than Faker - the Annie was truly egregious.
