I made a claim after the Shen rework came out that he'll never see LCS play again.

I'm genuinely curious if I'm right about that or not.

Yeah, he actually appeared a few times in challenger. I'm actually incredibly surprised that he isn't seeing more use with top lane being "tank-heavy" and his kit allowing him to function incredibly well in "protect the kog" comps.

Not just "Protect the Kog" comps, but I really do miss seeing the "submarine" tactic, of him hitching a ride on a sneaky champion like Shaco, Rengar(I'd pay in good gold and women to see him hop on while Rengar is invis, just before he hops onto someone, and the opposing player's reaction), Elise, or Twitch. Or the "bullet train/drive-by" tactic, of him hopping onto a speeding Rammus/Hecarim. Taunts for days w/ a TP packing AP/Armor Rammus...

I believe he has appeared twice. Don't remember who or when or which series, but I know I've seen him once, and I'm pretty sure I remember the casters talking about Shen in a pro game at some other point. I know that doesn't help but the info is out there and you can actually track down the specifics. I'm just too lazy.

I think he was played in either Challenger or Korea.

Welp NRG KonKwon is playing him right now in the support roll, final week of NA LCS, Day 1 against CLG.

Ah, just found a decent stats site and apparently he's seen 4 LCS plays total, and lost all 4. What a disappointing turn of events for my main. Thanks for the input though, friend!
