LCS, 2026-06-14. The matchup was Team Liquid against Cloud9, and the result was a win for Team Liquid. With 8 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 29:00. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. Team Liquid finished 6,060 gold ahead. That is not an unrecoverable gap, so the objective and combat figures below show where the game actually turned. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 8 for Team Liquid against 2 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Josedeodo, who finished on Naafiri with a KDA of 2/0/3. In the Bot matchup, Yeon finished 1,631 gold ahead of Zven. 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 Team Liquid removing Orianna and Cloud9 removing Lucian. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.11, this counts as game 3 within a series of 3.
