LEC, 2026-08-23. The matchup was GIANTX against Team Heretics, and the result was a win for GIANTX. At 41:08, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 25 combined kills, and in long games per-minute figures such as DPM and CSM get pulled toward the average, so read them next to the totals. The total gold gap grew to 10,023, with GIANTX ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. GIANTX finished with 11 on Towers against 4 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Flakked, who finished on Jhin with a KDA of 9/0/7. In the Bot matchup, Flakked finished 5,127 gold ahead of Hype. This compares end-of-game totals for the same position, so it is not a laning-phase figure on its own. The draft started with GIANTX removing Nocturne and Team Heretics removing Cassiopeia. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. On patch 16.16, this counts as game 1 within a series of 2.
