The LCS match played on 2026-08-16 between Cloud9 and FlyQuest ended with a win for Cloud9. At 39:56, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 26 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 9,422, 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, Voidgrubs split 3 to 0, and FlyQuest took the larger share.

A KDA of 6/1/6 is what Tactical recorded on Ezreal, the strongest line among the winners. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Mid: Loki ahead of Quad by 2,724. Shyvana was the first champion Cloud9 removed, while the opening ban from FlyQuest was Bard. Game 1 of the series. The series ran to 2 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.16.
