LCK CL, 2026-08-19. The matchup was KT Rolster Challengers against T1 Esports Academy, and the result was a win for KT Rolster Challengers. The two teams combined for 46 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 28:35 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. The total gold gap grew to 8,012, with KT Rolster Challengers 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 4, and KT Rolster Challengers took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Hwichan, who finished on Tristana with a KDA of 8/4/6. In the Mid matchup, Hwichan finished 5,228 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 opening bans were Poppy from KT Rolster Challengers and Lucian from T1 Esports Academy. On patch 16.16, this counts as game 2 within a series of 3.
