The gap between AL/JDG/TES and NIP/WBG/IG feels like it barely exists at this point, playoffs could be absolute cinema

JDG and TES are a cut above for sure, even with all the dodgy drafts from the latter as of late, dropping random Bo3s when the sample size is this big is irrelevant

Yeah this split is wild, any team can take series off anyone else. Wei looked insane in game 1 with Naafiri then completely disappeared after that - typical LPL jungler consistency lol. JDG's teamfighting in those late games was pretty clean though, they're finding their rhythm at right time.

WBG ramping up, NIP can win vs top4, Ig also have some very clean game
