I suspect that people will be talking about LustBoy's 
Lulu from MLG Dallas, see that she's free this week, then come and look at random guides. His Lulu had items that were very "out of the norm" for supports. For the love of Teemo, do not build a Stinger on Lulu in solo queue just because you saw LustBoy do it in a tournament.
During game 1, LustBoy built double GP10, but only built one aura item. He used his other gold to make a Spirit Visage and a Negatron Cloak. At first glance, this looks pretty weird because Lulu has no healing effects for Spirit Visage to enhance. I doubt the healing effect had any impact on him buying it though. Supports do well with health, scale with cooldown, and Dignitas was running a double AP comp with Rumble and Diana. Basically, Spirit Visage is the only item in the game that gives magic resistance, health, and cooldown reduction.
During game 2, LustBoy built double GP10 again, but later sold the Philosopher's Stone. He made a Frozen Mallet and started building a Nashor's Tooth. He didn't actually pick up the Ionian Boots of Lucidity or Stinger until after he finished Frozen Mallet, so he had no cooldown for a very long time, and he had no aura items all game. For the average player, this might look pretty weird, especially if your idea of support is to build Shurelya's Battlesong and ward.
But despite his seemingly troll items ( Phage is actually built on Lulu at higher ELO, Nashor's Tooth is a no though), LustBoy managed to do work for his team using Lulu's skill set. He did get caught out quite a bit, but that was arguably due to his Flash constantly being down because he kept using it to Flash + Glitterlance to help his team.
I have no idea what runes/masteries/skill order he was using, but I am under the impression that Asian support players are more aggressive than North American support players. While Xpecial from TSM and Elementz from CRS talk about maxing Help, Pix! first in their Lulu guides, Mistake from TPA says to max Glitterlance first. Also at MLG Dallas, when the spectator camera went to Najin Sword's Cain, he could see that he was maxing Glitterlance then Whimsy against CLG Prime.

something I found interesting was apparently he was using magic pen glyphs in some of the games
Iirc, he was using arpen/mpen quints too. Terror Lulu.
Like goodguygarry (a 2.3k elo streamer, not that well known yet)
was kinda confused at a lulu in his team which built a phage, and went to her history where there were even more games with phage/mallet :P
EDIT: but well that lulu sucked horribly
or was that just another lulu building phage/mallet
