LCK, 2026-08-09. The matchup was KT Rolster against Dplus Kia, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia. With 17 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 29:29. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 15,934, with Dplus Kia 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 11 to 0, and Dplus Kia took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Smash, who finished on Kalista with a KDA of 9/0/4. 6,731 is the end-of-game gold gap Smash built over FenRir in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with KT Rolster removing Camille and Dplus Kia removing Nocturne. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. Game 3 of the series. The series ran to 3 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.15.
