EWC, 2026-05-01. The matchup was Team Heretics against GIANTX, and the result was a win for GIANTX. 25 combined kills over 34:53 places this game inside the usual league range. The figures below are not skewed toward any single phase of the game. The total gold gap was only 2,264, so resources alone did not decide this game. GIANTX finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. Team Heretics finished with 3 on Voidgrubs against 0 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Noah, who finished on Caitlyn with a KDA of 6/1/4. 1,826 is the end-of-game gold gap ISMA built over Daglas in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with Team Heretics removing Vi and GIANTX removing Orianna. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.8, this counts as game 1 within a series of 2.
