Hanwha Life Esports Challengers took this one. It was a LCK CL fixture played on 2026-05-18 between Hanwha Life Esports Challengers and Gen.G Global Academy. The two teams combined for 67 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 43:02 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap was only 1,494, so resources alone did not decide this game. Gen.G Global Academy finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 11 for Gen.G Global Academy against 7 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Jackal, who finished on Xin Zhao with a KDA of 10/6/12. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Top: Ripple ahead of Panther by 4,934. The opening bans were Cassiopeia from Hanwha Life Esports Challengers and Orianna from Gen.G Global Academy. This is game 2 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.10.
