Karmine Corp vs GIANTX — a LEC match played on 2026-08-18, and the win went to Karmine Corp. With 15 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 28:08. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 14,966, with Karmine Corp ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Karmine Corp finished with 9 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Yike, who finished on Qiyana with a KDA of 8/0/2. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Jungle: Yike ahead of ISMA by 7,750.
