Cloud9 took this one. It was a LCS fixture played on 2026-05-17 between Cloud9 and Team Liquid. At 37:46, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 28 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 12,594, with Cloud9 ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. On objectives, Towers split 9 to 2, and Cloud9 took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Zven, who finished on Varus with a KDA of 7/1/8. 3,903 is the end-of-game gold gap Blaber built over Josedeodo in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Karma was the first champion Cloud9 removed, while the opening ban from Team Liquid was Cassiopeia. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.10.
