Forcing team fights didn't really suit Karsa's Wukong. There were also the half-utility, half-damage Xin Zhao and Viego, or they could gamble a little on Nidalee or Elise—available picks that completely didn't suit Karsa.
"Me? Can I pick Nurgle, give up my intelligence, avoid all conflict, suffer and enjoy half-and-half, and enter tanking paradise?" Karsa suddenly asked.
"Of course, if you can convince the coach."
"Forget it. Give me Diana."
V5's current composition lacked someone to set the tempo. But Lee Sin, who was available outside, had been heavily nerfed and would turn into a Super Minion against Trundle if he failed to establish tempo early. Picks that required going all-in, like Rek'Sai, Jarvan IV, and "Alps," were too much of a gamble as well. Diana was better.
The only advantage of jungle Diana was this: even the most useless Diana was more useful in a Team Fight than 90% of junglers. The downside was the double-AP mid-jungle, but considering the enemy mid laner was Viktor, a short-legged mid laner who rarely built Magic Resist, it was not much of a problem.
Thus:
TES: top lane Gnar, jungle Trundle, mid lane Viktor, Lucian-Nami bot lane
V5: top lane Gangplank, jungle Diana, mid lane Ahri, Ezreal + Karma bot lane
The match began.

When EZ returned to Luo Zhen's hands, the great god Ezreal would surely shower down the glory of ranking up once more!
There was nothing more to say. With other Heroes, Luo Zhen still had to consider whether the enemy might suddenly awaken and become explosively powerful. But once EZ was in his hands, all his tension vanished into thin air.
"This overwhelming sense of security... good! My confidence is rising from the depths of my heart again."
