LCK, 2026-05-06. The matchup was Nongshim RedForce against Gen.G, and the result was a win for Gen.G. The two teams combined for 47 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 42:16 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap was only 2,402, so resources alone did not decide this game. Gen.G finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. The clearest objective gap came from Voidgrubs: 3 for Nongshim RedForce against 0 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Ruler, who finished on Ashe with a KDA of 10/4/13. In the Mid matchup, Chovy finished 4,634 gold ahead of Scout. 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 Nongshim RedForce removing Varus and Gen.G removing Rumble. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.9, this counts as game 1 within a series of 2.
