LCK CL, 2026-09-08. The matchup was Nongshim Esports Academy against Dplus Kia Challengers, and the result was a win for Dplus Kia Challengers. 25 combined kills over 33:29 places this game inside the usual league range. The figures below are not skewed toward any single phase of the game. The total gold gap grew to 10,103, with Dplus Kia Challengers ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. The clearest objective gap came from Towers: 8 for Dplus Kia Challengers against 3 for the other side.

A KDA of 5/1/6 is what Wayne recorded on Ezreal, the strongest line among the winners. In the Bot matchup, Wayne finished 4,062 gold ahead of Lucy. 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 Nongshim Esports Academy removing Cassiopeia and Dplus Kia Challengers removing Poppy. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 4-game series, played on patch 16.16.
