LCS, 2026-05-04. The matchup was LYON (2024 American Team) against Sentinels, and the result was a win for LYON (2024 American Team). At 36:48, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 22 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 13,973, with LYON (2024 American Team) 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 LYON (2024 American Team) against 3 for the other side.

Looking at Saint, the pick was Ryze and the line reads 7/1/8. The gold and damage share in the scoreboard show what kind of game it was. In the Mid matchup, Saint finished 4,553 gold ahead of DARKWINGS. 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 LYON (2024 American Team) removing Anivia and Sentinels removing Nocturne. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.9.
