Someone who has been playing yi mid for 2 years speaking. No, he is not viable in mid. He has no tools to survive the early game and does much much better in top lane due to his high dueling spike at lvl 2. The only reason anyone plays yi mid is because other roles are taken.

That being said, if you do not play properly against him, and let him farm, he is still yi. occasional ganks are inevitable, tell your jungler to gank a lot. basically yi in early game in mid lane is less mobile yasuo.

Faker was able to play it because he was much better than his opponents. he also played irelia mid.
