Tips for playing Rek'Sai

Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.
Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.
Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.

Tips for playing against Rek'Sai

If you see one of Rek'Sai's tunnels, briefly stand on one of the entrances to destroy it.
Rek'Sai's Furious Bite gains damage as she builds Fury. Be very careful around her when her Fury is full.
When Rek'Sai is near, she can see the position of you and your allies, but only if you're moving.

Lore

An apex predator, Rek'Sai is a merciless Void-spawn that tunnels beneath the ground to ambush and devour unsuspecting prey. Her insatiable hunger has laid waste to entire regions of the once-great empire of Shurima—merchants, traders, even armed caravans, will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid her and her offspring's hunting grounds. All know that once Rek'Sai is seen on the horizon, death from below is all but guaranteed.
