LCK CL, 2026-01-26. The matchup was T1 Esports Academy against Dplus Kia Challengers, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia Challengers. The two teams combined for 44 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 31:51 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap grew to 9,194, with Dplus Kia Challengers ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 9 for Dplus Kia Challengers against 3 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Sharvel, who finished on Wukong with a KDA of 9/2/17. In the Jungle matchup, Sharvel finished 5,701 gold ahead of Painter. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. The draft started with T1 Esports Academy removing Varus and Dplus Kia Challengers removing Orianna. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. Game 3 of the series. The series ran to 4 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.2.
