How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Irelia will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Azir outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Mixed Resistances
Azir deals AP damage while Irelia deals AD. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
Range Advantage

Exploit Irelia's Weakness
Irelia's main weakness: Hard CC, not hitting E, falling behind. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
