EWC, 2026-07-18. The matchup was Gen.G against Dplus Kia, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia. At 48:40, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 36 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 473, so resources alone did not decide this game. Dplus Kia 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 Towers: 10 for Dplus Kia against 6 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Smash, who finished on Ezreal with a KDA of 11/3/8. In the Mid matchup, Chovy finished 3,269 gold ahead of ShowMaker. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. Viktor was the first champion Gen.G removed, while the opening ban from Dplus Kia was Orianna. Game 1 of the series. The series ran to 3 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.13.
