KeSPA Cup, 2026-08-03. The matchup was Gen.G against Hanwha Life Esports, and the result was a win for Hanwha Life Esports. At 24:05, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 27 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 13,321, with Hanwha Life Esports ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Hanwha Life Esports finished with 9 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Jackal, who finished on Xin Zhao with a KDA of 8/0/7. 4,955 is the end-of-game gold gap Jackal built over Courage in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Poppy was the first champion Gen.G removed, while the opening ban from Hanwha Life Esports was Jayce. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.15.
