Cloud9 vs Team Liquid — a EWC match played on 2026-04-23, and the win went to Team Liquid. At 23:58, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 17 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 9,365, with Team Liquid ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Team Liquid finished with 8 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

A KDA of 5/0/4 is what Josedeodo recorded on Pantheon, the strongest line among the winners. 3,725 is the end-of-game gold gap Yeon built over Zven in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Karma was the first champion Cloud9 removed, while the opening ban from Team Liquid was Ziggs. Game 1 of the series. The series ran to 2 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.8.
