The LCK CL match played on 2026-08-16 between T1 Esports Academy and DN SOOPers Challengers ended with a win for DN SOOPers Challengers. The two teams combined for 57 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 32:26 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap grew to 13,146, with DN SOOPers 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. DN SOOPers Challengers finished with 9 on Towers against 3 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Flip, who finished on Locke with a KDA of 22/4/4. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Mid: Flip ahead of Guti by 7,331. The draft started with T1 Esports Academy removing Cassiopeia and DN SOOPers Challengers removing Poppy. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.15.
