Gen.G Global Academy vs Hanwha Life Esports Challengers — a LCK CL match played on 2026-01-15, and the win went to Hanwha Life Esports Challengers. At 23:08, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 24 kills, and in a short game the late-game sample is thin, so read the early gold and objective flow first. The total gold gap grew to 15,086, with Hanwha Life Esports 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. Hanwha Life Esports Challengers finished with 8 on Towers against 1 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

A KDA of 10/0/8 is what Pyeonsik recorded on Aphelios, the strongest line among the winners. In the Bot matchup, Pyeonsik finished 6,645 gold ahead of MUDAI. 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 Gen.G Global Academy removing Orianna and Hanwha Life Esports Challengers removing Poppy. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.1, this counts as game 2 within a series of 2.
