Worlds, 2026-10-24. The matchup was Dplus Kia against G2 Esports, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia. With 16 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 32:38. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. Dplus Kia finished 3,414 gold ahead. That is not an unrecoverable gap, so the objective and combat figures below show where the game actually turned. On objectives, Towers split 8 to 3, and Dplus Kia took the larger share.
The standout line on the winning side belongs to ShowMaker, who finished on Syndra with a KDA of 3/1/5. In the Mid matchup, ShowMaker finished 2,159 gold ahead of Caps. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. The draft started with Dplus Kia removing Locke and G2 Esports removing Lucian. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This match was played on patch 16.20.
