LCK CL, 2026-08-12. The matchup was Hanwha Life Esports Challengers against HANJIN BRION Challengers, and the result was a win for Hanwha Life Esports Challengers. At 23:35, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 13 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 10,386, with Hanwha Life Esports Challengers ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 7 for Hanwha Life Esports Challengers against 0 for the other side.

A KDA of 4/0/5 is what Cracker recorded on Akali, the strongest line among the winners. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Mid: Cracker ahead of Tempester by 3,019. The draft started with Hanwha Life Esports Challengers removing Cassiopeia and HANJIN BRION Challengers removing Nocturne. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 3 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.15.
