LEC, 2026-08-14. The matchup was GIANTX against Team Vitality, and the result was a win for Team Vitality. With 18 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 26:12. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 15,109, with Team Vitality 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 Team Vitality against 0 for the other side.

A KDA of 6/1/6 is what FIESTA recorded on Ahri, the strongest line among the winners. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Bot: Carzzy ahead of Flakked by 5,467. Cassiopeia was the first champion GIANTX removed, while the opening ban from Team Vitality was Nocturne. This is game 1 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.16.
