LCK, 2026-08-14. The matchup was Dplus Kia against T1, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia. With 18 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 29:24. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 8,266, 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. Dplus Kia finished with 7 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to ShowMaker, who finished on Akali with a KDA of 7/0/4. In the Jungle matchup, Lucid finished 3,115 gold ahead of Oner. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. The opening bans were Nocturne from Dplus Kia and Poppy from T1. Game 3 of the series. The series ran to 3 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.15.
