Natus Vincere vs JD Gaming — a Demacia Cup match played on 2026-10-08, and the win went to JD Gaming. With 19 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 31:37. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 11,006, with JD Gaming ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 10 for JD Gaming against 2 for the other side.

A KDA of 6/0/4 is what Angel recorded on Orianna, the strongest line among the winners. In the Bot matchup, GALA finished 4,801 gold ahead of SamD. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. Nocturne was the first champion Natus Vincere removed, while the opening ban from JD Gaming was Ezreal. This is game 2 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.18.
