LCK CL, 2026-04-07. The matchup was Hanwha Life Esports Challengers against Kiwoom DRX Challengers, and the result was a win for Kiwoom DRX Challengers. At 35:47, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 16 combined kills, and in long games per-minute figures such as DPM and CSM get pulled toward the average, so read them next to the totals. The total gold gap grew to 10,939, with Kiwoom DRX 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. On objectives, Towers split 9 to 2, and Kiwoom DRX Challengers took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to AKaJe, who finished on Akali with a KDA of 4/1/5. In the Top matchup, Frog finished 4,882 gold ahead of Panther. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. Varus was the first champion Hanwha Life Esports Challengers removed, while the opening ban from Kiwoom DRX Challengers was Rumble. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.7.
