Is Pyke a new Kindred counter, or was what I saw a bug on Pyke's ult?

During the first FOX vs SPY match in Rift Rivals 2018 at 44:19-44:22 you clearly see Shen die to Pyke's execute while standing in an active Kindred ult. As far as I know, there is no other execute that functions this way with Kindreds ult, so I am wondering if this is a bug, or an intended feature of Pyke's ult? Can Pyke execute someone during a Kayle ult?

I believe shen was extremly unlucky and got cc-locked a pixel outside of kindred's ult. As far as I've seen ingame, Pyke cannot execute someone in kindred ult.

He dies right outside of the kindred ult, that aura that it looks like he is standing on is actually the Sejuani Ult. He just started his "E" Taunt animation towards the kindred ult, but the Pyke ult got him in time i guess.

Edit : After watching this 10 times. Shen definitely crossed into Kindreds ult before Pyke executed him. Pyke ulted Shens starting location from where he taunted, it didnt even hit shen. I think since the shen "E" was still in motion the Pyke ult Overrides any other actions occurring at that time.

Idk guys. I see Shen falling over dead while the circle is up, and his corpse is clearly inside the circle. He was pretty close to the edge, but when that taunt finishes he is in the circle, and I thought people cannot die in the circle regardless. I'm gonna have to test this, and see if this is a case of too close to the edge, or if Pyke ult has a bug.
