GIANTX vs Shifters — a LEC match played on 2026-01-18, and the win went to GIANTX. At 35:25, this game ran deep into the late game. It produced 39 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 was only 1,265, so resources alone did not decide this game. GIANTX finished narrowly ahead, and in games like this a single objective or a single fight is usually what settles it. The clearest objective gap came from Voidgrubs: 3 for GIANTX against 0 for the other side.

A KDA of 8/3/7 is what Noah recorded on Kai'Sa, the strongest line among the winners. In the Bot matchup, Noah finished 2,993 gold ahead of Paduck. 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 Sylas and Shifters removing Nidalee. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This match was played on patch 16.1.
