LCS, 2026-05-17. The matchup was Cloud9 against Team Liquid, and the result was a win for Cloud9. 26 combined kills over 34:05 places this game inside the usual league range. The figures below are not skewed toward any single phase of the game. Cloud9 finished 6,696 gold ahead. That is not an unrecoverable gap, so the objective and combat figures below show where the game actually turned. On objectives, Voidgrubs split 3 to 0, and Cloud9 took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to APA, who finished on Annie with a KDA of 7/1/8. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Mid: APA ahead of Quid by 2,002. The opening bans were Orianna from Cloud9 and Cassiopeia from Team Liquid.
