LEC, 2026-04-27. The matchup was Natus Vincere against Shifters, and the result was a win for Natus Vincere. At 36:42, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 33 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 grew to 9,055, with Natus Vincere ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Natus Vincere finished with 11 on Towers against 3 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Poby, who finished on Azir with a KDA of 9/4/5. 6,460 is the end-of-game gold gap Rhilech built over Boukada in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Varus was the first champion Natus Vincere removed, while the opening ban from Shifters was Orianna. This is game 3 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.8.
