The figures below are not skewed toward any single phase of the game. The total gold gap grew to 8,669, with Natus Vincere 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 9 to 4, and Natus Vincere took the larger share.

Looking at SamD, the pick was Caitlyn and the line reads 11/2/5. The gold and damage share in the scoreboard show what kind of game it was. 5,267 is the end-of-game gold gap SamD built over Noah in the Bot matchup, the largest positional gap in this game.
