JD Gaming took this one. It was a Demacia Cup fixture played on 2026-10-05 between JD Gaming and Shopify Rebellion. With 14 combined kills, fights were rare, and the game lasted 29:48. When kills are scarce, the gold and objective gaps are what explain the result. The total gold gap grew to 15,218, with JD Gaming ahead. At that size the item tiers differ, so the late-game combat figures should be read as numbers produced after the gap opened. On objectives, Towers split 11 to 2, and JD Gaming took the larger share.

The standout line on the winning side belongs to GALA, who finished on Lucian with a KDA of 5/0/5. Comparing end-of-game gold position by position, the widest gap sits at Top: Xiaoxu ahead of Fudge by 5,403. The draft started with JD Gaming removing Cassiopeia and Shopify Rebellion removing Qiyana. Those first two cards set the direction of the draft. This is game 1 of a 2-game series, played on patch 16.18.
