Nongshim Esports Academy took this one. It was a LCK CL fixture played on 2026-08-05 between Dplus Kia Challengers and Nongshim Esports Academy. 31 combined kills over 27:37 places this game inside the usual league range. The figures below are not skewed toward any single phase of the game. The total gold gap grew to 8,428, with Nongshim Esports Academy ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. On objectives, Towers split 7 to 1, and Nongshim Esports Academy took the larger share.

A KDA of 8/1/9 is what MihawK recorded on Lee Sin, the strongest line among the winners. 3,499 is the end-of-game gold gap MihawK built over Solid in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Poppy was the first champion Dplus Kia Challengers removed, while the opening ban from Nongshim Esports Academy was Orianna. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.15.
