EWC, 2026-04-22. The matchup was Cloud9 against Sentinels, and the result was a win for Sentinels. At 37:22, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 22 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 13,281, with Sentinels ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Sentinels finished with 10 on Towers against 4 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.
The standout line on the winning side belongs to Rahel, who finished on Jhin with a KDA of 7/0/6. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Bot: Rahel ahead of Zven by 5,716. The opening bans were Pantheon from Cloud9 and Ziggs from Sentinels. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.8.
