The LEC match played on 2026-08-22 between Natus Vincere and Team Vitality ended with a win for Natus Vincere. With 16 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 26:51. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 11,692, 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. Natus Vincere finished with 8 on Towers against 2 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Rhilech, who finished on Xin Zhao with a KDA of 4/0/5. 4,574 is the end-of-game gold gap Rhilech built over Lyncas in the Jungle matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. The draft started with Natus Vincere removing Cassiopeia and Team Vitality removing Nocturne. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 2 of a 3-game series, played on patch 16.16.
