LEC, 2026-08-18. The matchup was Team Heretics against Natus Vincere, and the result was a win for Natus Vincere. 23 combined kills over 27:42 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 grew to 9,374, 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. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 9 for Natus Vincere against 2 for the other side.

A KDA of 6/0/4 is what SamD recorded on Ezreal, the strongest line among the winners. 4,161 is the end-of-game gold gap SamD built over Hype in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The opening bans were Olaf from Team Heretics and Jayce from Natus Vincere. On patch 16.16, this counts as game 1 within a series of 2.
