Analysts will be parsing the highlights to see what each coaching staff emphasizes as the split progresses.

From a broader perspective, Week 4 carries added significance because teams are beginning to separate ceiling from floor ahead of the mid-split break. Watch list items for this pairing include mid lane consistency from Chovy, how NS integrate their rotation pieces, and which side drafts either team leans on as the meta evolves.
