EDG: Jinx (version T0 First Pick for bot lane), Lulu, Malphite
T1: Renekton (the optimal choice beneath the double-tank setup), Moon Man, Titan (a point-and-click lock to restrict the enemy AD while flexing between mid and support)
When Maokai saw that the enemy had chosen Titan instead of Vi first, he had already guessed that their jungler would continue picking a Jungle Core champion. The 13.08 update had nerfed all the popular Playoffs junglers while removing the penalty for counter-jungling, allowing certain Jungle Core junglers to return, such as Kindred from the previous game.
So—
Second Ban Phase: Kindred, Annie, Viego, Vi
Without question, both coaches chose to blow up each other's jungle Champion Pools. Then, with the First Hand of the Second Round PICK, T1 locked in jungler Kha'Zix for Oner. Kha'Zix had two builds this patch: one was the tank Kha'Zix build centered around Goredrinker, while the other centered on armor penetration and Umbral Glaive, specializing in Vision War. Combined with T1 proactively banning Maokai in the First Ban Phase, their sinister intentions were obvious.
T1 had already assumed EDG would take Ahri for FOFO. After all, they could simply build Cloth Shoes on mid Titan and make Ahri need thirty-three Auto Attacks to kill him. But no one had expected Maokai to suddenly unveil his long-planned ultimate in EDG's final two picks!
Galio + Jarvan IV!
The instant that combination appeared, countless LPL viewers seemed to undergo a bloodline awakening and sprang from their seats in unison!
Holy shit... WE's Invincible System!?
Bengi's face instantly turned green.
In a meta where mid laners roamed to support, Galio made perfect sense. His Pushing Ability was not even that bad. As for jungler Jarvan IV, he had indeed been fucking trash in the past few patches—but how did that
