Game 1 - Karmine Corp win 16-5 in 29 minutes

KC controlled Game 1 through a protect-the-carry composition built around Upset's Varus and a Braum support - a draft designed to give Upset the peel and movement speed that his poke-range ADC system requires to generate sustained damage without engaging in close-range trades. Upset on Varus posted an 8/0/4 KDA - his deathless performance the standout individual efficiency output of the opening game. Closer on Lee Sin posted a 3/1/10 KDA - his 10 assists the highest of any Lee Sin performance reflecting a jungler whose pressure created the isolated pick opportunities that Upset's Varus poke system converted into the 11-kill advantage. KC closed Game 1 in 29 minutes - their fastest game of the series.

Game 2 - Shifters win 18-9 in 35 minutes

Shifters levelled the series through a heavy pick composition - Skeanz on Viego and Vetheo on Taliyah giving them the map-wide engage tools that KC's protect-the-carry system had not specifically countered in their Game 2 draft. Skeanz posted a 7/2/8 KDA on Viego - his carry performance the foundation of Shifters' Game 2 comeback. Vetheo posted a 4/1/11 KDA on Taliyah - his 11 assists the highest of Game 2 reflecting a mid-laner whose roaming system created the pick opportunities that Skeanz's Viego converted into the 18-kill advantage.

The defining individual moment of the series arrived when Skeanz executed a Baron steal at the 24-minute mark - his Viego's Smite timing converting KC's Baron attempt into a Shifters resource advantage that swung the gold lead and forced the series to a third game. The Baron steal was the individual clutch moment that kept Shifters' series alive.

Game 3 - Karmine Corp win 12-6 in 32 minutes

Game 3 was decided at the Drake pit. Canna on K'Sante posted a 4/0/7 KDA - his deathless performance the standout individual efficiency output of the decider. The series-closing moment arrived when Canna's K'Sante isolated Shifters' ADC in the Drake pit fight - his All Out engage creating the separation that gave KC the 4-for-0 exchange before Shifters' composition could regroup. The 4-for-0 exchange ended the game shortly after - KC pushing directly from the Drake pit to close the series 12-6 in 32 minutes.

Targamas on Renata Glasc posted a 1/1/9 KDA - his deathless-adjacent support performance giving KC the save mechanics that kept Canna's aggressive K'Sante alive through Shifters' attempted counter-engages across the Drake pit fight.

Standout performances

Upset posted an 8/0/4 KDA on Varus in Game 1 - the standout individual efficiency output of the series opener. His deathless protect-the-carry performance was the individual foundation of KC's 11-kill Game 1 margin.

Canna posted a 4/0/7 KDA on K'Sante in Game 3 - the series-closing individual performance. His Drake pit isolation of Shifters' ADC was the decisive moment that ended the series - his deathless K'Sante engagement reflecting a player whose tankiness and All Out timing gave KC the fight they needed.

Skeanz posted a 7/2/8 KDA on Viego in Game 2 and executed the Baron steal that forced Game 3 - the individual standout performance on the losing side of the series. His Baron steal at 24 minutes was the most impactful individual clutch moment of the match outside Canna's Drake pit isolation.
