LCK, 2026-08-13. The matchup was Hanwha Life Esports against Gen.G, and the result was a win for Gen.G. At 38:51, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 25 combined kills, and in long games per-minute figures such as DPM and CSM get pulled toward the average, so read them next to the totals. The total gold gap grew to 8,917, with Gen.G ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Gen.G finished with 8 on Towers against 4 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Ruler, who finished on Caitlyn with a KDA of 5/1/5. In the Bot matchup, Ruler finished 3,294 gold ahead of Gumayusi. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. Cassiopeia was the first champion Hanwha Life Esports removed, while the opening ban from Gen.G was Poppy. Game 1 of the series. The series ran to 2 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.15.
