The LCK CL match played on 2026-01-26 between Nongshim Esports Academy and Hanwha Life Esports Challengers ended with a win for Nongshim Esports Academy. At 22:34, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 24 kills, and in a short game the late-game sample is thin, so read the early gold and objective flow first. The total gold gap grew to 17,489, with Nongshim Esports Academy 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: 10 for Nongshim Esports Academy against 0 for the other side.

A KDA of 9/0/6 is what Janus recorded on Jayce, the strongest line among the winners. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Top: Janus ahead of Panther by 4,467. The draft started with Nongshim Esports Academy removing Orianna and Hanwha Life Esports Challengers removing Poppy. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. Game 3 of the series. The series ran to 3 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.2.
