This time, JDG chose Blue Side first.
First Ban Phase:
JDG: Gangplank, Galio, Garen
EDG: Tryndamere, Master Yi, Xin Zhao
Both teams locked in their Ban Slots quickly. The commentators had barely begun explaining JDG's first Gangplank ban when the draft had already rotated to JDG's second Ban Slot.

One side had Sea Land Air, while the other had Tryndamere Yi Xin.

[They spent four serious games proving their strength, then one entertainment game proving their attitude. The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh, so they decided the winner through entertainment. Holy shit! Which Great God came up with this idea? This is actually genius~]
The tacit coordination between EDG and JDG instantly pushed MSI's popularity up another massive notch.
