WHY IT COUNTERS LICH
Hard to nuke and disable
Counterspell makes Anti-Mage hard to nuke down in the midgame, and all of Lich's spells are targeted, so they are easy to turn back on him.
Picks him off
In the late game, Anti-Mage can easily Blink onto Lich and pick him off.
Punishes Chain Frost
Chain Frost's high mana cost and Lich's large mana pool make him an easy target for Mana Void.
