I can't wait for a pro team to pull out this comp

Would have to be a Korean or Chinese team, that level of coordination would be impossible for Western teams to pull off.
C9 with Hai and all the time they have to practice could do it. Hai would be mentally exhausted tho because apparently he is a serious micro manager.
A Western team won't be able to get to mid-late game against a strong team (even a top Western one) because of how bad would be the laning phase of this kind of team and because of how far behind they would be against the adversaries. You would need to be mechanically and on positioning almost perfect on all 5 team members to pull it off that Maybe only Fnatic among Western teams has the mechanics to get it, but it is very very questionable to argue that Rekkles has good enough positioning to allow them to do it (he is far too aggressive and reckless and would probably caught out of position by the enemy team that would exploit it). P.S. Unfortunately Vardags is not good enough, otherwise UoL could be the other Western team that could be potentially capable to pull it off given Vizi's skill on tanky champs
Wouldn't midgame for this comp start around level six as soon as tey can tp around the map getting odd numbered fights.
I don't think so, given how they won't have the damage to set up fights proactively. Their only dangerous damage dealer by that point would be TF, and at exactly level 6 he would get outclassed as long as damage goes as the enemy mid laner would get a damage boost by acquiring a damage skill while TF only get mobility through his ulti, and the hypercarry ADC would still be a bit behind to dish consistent damage At most at 6 they could try to win a fight reactively with tower damage help, but they would still need to benefit from an enemy big mistake The window to start to proactively set up fights would be around level 8-10, but still by that point they still have to catch the enemy heavily out of position as they get the powerspike through getting items, so they can start to fight proactively setting up traps, but if they start even on positioning or don't get the initiative first - and keep in mind that enemy are probably ahead in level, experience and items by that point because of their better early game - they still lose badly fights by that point
A Chinese team has done this (I think EDG in one game) but without tahm kench. The triple man ganks were amazing
