LCS, 2026-10-04. The matchup was Team Liquid against LYON (2024 American Team), and the result was a win for Team Liquid. With 16 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 27:02. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 12,981, with Team Liquid ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. Team Liquid finished with 9 on Towers against 1 for the opponent — the widest objective gap in this game.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to Morgan, who finished on Jax with a KDA of 6/0/4. 4,394 is the end-of-game gold gap Morgan built over Dhokla in the Top matchup, the largest positional gap in this game. Cassiopeia was the first champion Team Liquid removed, while the opening ban from LYON (2024 American Team) was Rumble. On patch 16.17, this counts as game 4 within a series of 4.
