LCK, 2026-08-19. The matchup was Gen.G against KT Rolster, and the result was a win for Gen.G. With 15 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 32:22. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 13,623, with Gen.G ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Gen.G finished with 8 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Ruler, who finished on Yunara with a KDA of 6/0/5. 5,527 is the end-of-game gold gap Ruler built over Jiwoo in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The opening bans were Ezreal from Gen.G and Cassiopeia from KT Rolster. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.16.
