Colonel Guan's words left Wang Duoduo and Wang Ji completely bewildered.

Unlike Colonel Guan, who was keen on remembering details of the game, their memories of whether Flandre could play Kassadin were rather vague.

After all, Kassadin only appeared in the top lane for a short period of time.

And that was a long time ago.

"They really don't consider other heroes. Don't worry, everyone. I can definitely withstand Jayce's pressure in the top lane. As long as you mid and jungle can provide timely support, their Jayce will definitely have a very difficult time."

Under was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.

He had already mentally prepared himself to go to jail.

After all, there are quite a few champions in the mid lane who can suppress Yasuo in lane, so it's not difficult to take lane control from Yasuo.

The key to victory or defeat in this game lies in the laning situation in the mid lane.

Both junglers are very strong at setting the pace in the early game. If EDG's mid laner can gain an advantage, then Sylas, who is being pressured under the turret by Jayce and struggling to farm minions, will be in a very dangerous situation. As long as Elise coordinates with any teammate to dive the turret, she can basically dive the turret without taking any damage.

Conversely, if G2's mid laner successfully gains lane priority, and Yasuo reaches level 6, then with Lee Sin's help, Jayce will basically die every time he gets caught.

However, Under's good mood didn't last long. With about 20 seconds left on the countdown, EDG's top and mid lanes suddenly swapped heroes.

The Kassadin champion was originally chosen, but ended up in the top lane.

Jayce was assigned to Doinb.

At that moment, silence fell over the G2 team's booth.

In stark contrast, the scene at the EDG match was quite different.

"My buddy played Kassadin four times and had a 75% win rate. Don't be fooled by the number of times he's played, his skill level is no worse than yours, and I've been practicing a lot these past few days."

Saint Gun Bro chuckled confidently and said.

G2 had already demonstrated their Sylas strategy, which involved switching between top and mid lanes, in their match against SKT.

The initial purpose of this tactic was to save a ban slot, so that Kassadin wouldn't need to be specifically banned or picked.

Faker did indeed pick Kassadin in the match against G2, but as expected, he fell into G2's trap.

This precisely demonstrates the immense advantage of concealing tactics in professional competitions.

The more tactics a player conceals, the more likely they are to catch their opponent off guard during the match.

In a best-of-five (BO5) match, if you can win one or even two games with a well-designed strategy, you will undoubtedly have a significant advantage in the overall game.

But since G2 pulled out their hidden tactics in this match, it means that they have been completely exposed against EDG.

EDG has ample time to develop effective countermeasures against G2's tactics.

Undoubtedly, Kassadin's move to the top lane is EDG's countermeasure against G2.

In League of Legends matches, Sylas is indeed unlikely to gain a significant advantage when laning against Kassadin; at most, he can push the lane quickly in the early game.

After all, Kassadin, while not particularly strong in the early laning phase, does possess a certain degree of resilience, making it difficult for Sylas to exert absolute dominance over him during the laning period.

However, if we turn our attention to Jayce versus Yasuo, the situation is completely different, with Jayce having a clear advantage.

Especially before Yasuo built attack speed boots, Jayce, with his significant advantage in range, could easily kite Yasuo like a kite.

In this way, gaining lane control is naturally a piece of cake for Jayce.

Doinb particularly favors mid-lane champions who can gain lane control.

This is because only when he has lane control can he fully utilize his strong roaming and support capabilities in the game, creating more opportunities and advantages for the team by providing timely support to teammates on all sides.

"As expected, the lineups have changed... With this, the lineups for both sides are now completely finalized. The blue side is G2, with Sylas in the top lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Yasuo in the mid lane, and Ezreal and Alistar in the bot lane!"

"The red team is EDG. Their top laner is Kassadin, their jungler is Elise, their mid laner is Jayce, and their bot lane duo is Kai'Sa and Rakan!"

"Both players are ready, let's step into the first match of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Finals!"

As soon as commentator Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, cheers erupted continuously from the audience.

At this moment, the members of the G2 team were feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Originally, if EDG hadn't made any changes to their lineup, G2's tactical approach in the early stages of the match would have been very clear, and they would have been able to carry out their planned actions methodically.

However, EDG's sudden change of strategy left the G2 team members somewhat confused and unsure of how to respond.

Moreover, the lineups chosen by both sides are at a certain disadvantage in terms of level 1 team fights, and are not very suitable for initiating level 1 team fights.

With no clear information about the opponent's jungle clearing strategy, the G2 team members felt even more uneasy.

The match began, and both sides logged in normally.

As expected, Doinb controlled Jayce to quickly approach the minions and press forward to suppress them.

G2's mid laner Caps also understood his opponent's playstyle very well, and immediately turned around, not giving Doinb a chance to auto-attack.

Seeing this, Doinb remained calm. He pretended to turn around, successfully tricking Yasuo into turning around, and then instantly switched to melee form. With the cover of the ranged minions, he swung his hammer at Yasuo.

Early in the game, the two sides engaged in an extremely delicate exchange of blows in the mid lane.

However, when the director switched the camera to the bottom lane, a commotion immediately broke out on set.

It turns out that EDG's bot lane duo showed good dominance in the early stages of the match, putting pressure on the opponent.

G2's bot lane AD carry, Perkz, played cautiously in this game, but he also made small gestures like twitching or flashing icons to try and disrupt the opponent's mentality.

It's obvious that Ap was trying to provoke EDG's bot laner Su Mu, inducing Su Mu to impulsively rush up and actively suppress him.

After all, in this game, if you play too aggressively and fiercely, it is easy to make mistakes.

But Su Mu was no novice who would be easily fooled; he was a seasoned veteran who didn't fall for A P's little tricks.
