LCK, 2026-05-23. The matchup was Hanwha Life Esports against Nongshim RedForce, and the result was a win for Nongshim RedForce. The two teams combined for 43 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 30:25 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap grew to 8,387, with Nongshim RedForce ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 9 for Nongshim RedForce against 4 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Sponge, who finished on Wukong with a KDA of 9/1/11. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Bot: Diable ahead of Gumayusi by 3,114.
