T1 took this one. It was a LCK fixture played on 2026-01-18 between T1 and Kiwoom DRX. The two teams combined for 43 kills, so this was a fight-heavy game. Over 29:26 of play, that many kills means the KDA below reflects teamfight participation more than lane advantage. T1 finished 7,996 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 9 to 3, and T1 took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Peyz, who finished on Aphelios with a KDA of 8/6/8. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Bot: Peyz ahead of Jiwoo by 2,194. The draft started with T1 removing Jayce and Kiwoom DRX removing Malphite. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.1.
