Natus Vincere took this one. It was a Demacia Cup fixture played on 2026-10-05 between FlyQuest and Natus Vincere. At 36:08, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 32 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 was only 1,713, so resources alone did not decide this game. Natus Vincere finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. The clearest objective gap came from Dragons: 4 for FlyQuest against 1 for the other side.

Looking at SamD, the pick was Lucian and the line reads 7/4/7. The gold and damage share in the scoreboard show what kind of game it was. 2,345 is the end-of-game gold gap SamD built over Massu in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with FlyQuest removing Nocturne and Natus Vincere removing Olaf. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. Game 1 of the series. The series ran to 2 games in total, and the patch applied was 16.18.
