EWC, 2026-05-04. The matchup was HANJIN BRION against T1, and the result was a win for T1. At 23:10, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 35 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 11,666, with T1 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 0, and T1 took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Peyz, who finished on Sivir with a KDA of 11/1/9. 3,208 is the end-of-game gold gap Peyz built over Teddy in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with HANJIN BRION removing Orianna and T1 removing Ezreal. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.9.
