TCL, 2026-07-29. The matchup was Shark Attack against Dark Passage, and the result was a win for Dark Passage. At 24:42, the game was settled relatively early. The teams combined for 35 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 13,909, with Dark Passage ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 10 for Dark Passage against 0 for the other side.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to LynxCerezz, who finished on Hwei with a KDA of 10/2/7. 4,954 is the end-of-game gold gap GRRave built over Stansfield in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with Shark Attack removing Bard and Dark Passage removing Olaf. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. Game 1 of the series.
