The LCK CL match played on 2026-07-30 between T1 Esports Academy and Dplus Kia Challengers ended with a win for Dplus Kia Challengers. The two teams combined for 45 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 36:49 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. Dplus Kia Challengers finished 5,358 gold ahead. That is not an unrecoverable gap, so the objective and combat figures below show where the game actually turned. Dplus Kia Challengers finished with 4 on Dragons against 1 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Garden, who finished on Locke with a KDA of 16/2/5. In the Mid matchup, Garden finished 1,778 gold ahead of Guti. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. The draft started with T1 Esports Academy removing Poppy and Dplus Kia Challengers removing Orianna. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.14.
