Nongshim Esports Academy vs Hanwha Life Esports Challengers — a LCK CL match played on 2026-05-15, and the win went to Hanwha Life Esports Challengers. At 43:22, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 29 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 was only 2,716, so resources alone did not decide this game. Hanwha Life Esports Challengers finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. Nongshim Esports Academy finished with 4 on Dragons against 1 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

A KDA of 8/2/4 is what Pyeonsik recorded on Lucian, the strongest line among the winners. In the Bot matchup, Pyeonsik finished 6,357 gold ahead of Lucy. 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 Esports Academy removing Rumble and Hanwha Life Esports Challengers removing Varus. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.9, this counts as game 2 within a series of 3.
