Series Breakdown
NIP seems to have adapted well to the current meta, especially with Leyan’s arrival bringing more carry potential to the team. Compared to Aki, Leyan’s ability to play carry junglers like Nidalee and Brand has added a new dimension to NIP’s playstyle.
Despite their impressive win against JDG, NIP faces a tough challenge in WBG. WBG has been performing consistently well throughout the split, and players like Tarzan pose a significant threat to Leyan. While WBG seems to have the upper hand in most matchups, NIP’s recent growth and adaptation cannot be underestimated. A victory against WBG would signal a remarkable improvement for NIP.
