Two people were assigned mid lane by the new champion select. THIS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING!

This was almost definitely a premade 5 team.
You each pick your primary role only in a 5 premade, and you all get your slotted role. If two people pick the same role, the game assumes you want to play that way and gives it to you.
Some players think the game should allow you to do primary/secondary and allow the game to assign roles (e.g. to sort out conflict in a premade that doesn't want to assign roles). This would make it impossible to queue up with an off-meta rotation though in a premade 5 (which is where it belongs). You can always go by draft order if you want the game to decide.
riot is secretly controlling the meta from behind the scenes. this is a preview of the internal riot testing servers for the upcoming mage update that was accidentally leaked to the live servers.
they make you think the pro players are "innovating" but when the koreans suddenly "come up" with a new duo mid strat later this year, you'll know. we'll all know.
Meanwhile I'm just here wondering how that even worked
fake
Give Riot some credit... at least the map was showing duo Mid as well :)
