The teams combined for 29 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 8,632, with Nongshim RedForce 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: 8 for Nongshim RedForce against 1 for the other side.
