Ramune delivered a masterclass on Orianna, effectively dismantling the enemy frontline and creating a massive gold gap that RAYN Clocks simply could not bridge.

Key Takeaways
* Ramune achieved a legendary 13/0/12 KDA on Orianna, serving as the primary engine for the Rising Gaming victory. * Ankochan secured a massive +1796 gold lead at the fifteen-minute mark on Xin Zhao, effectively neutralizing the enemy jungle presence. * Rising Gaming controlled the map objectives, securing 3 dragons to 0 to solidify their mid-game dominance.
Building the Lead
From the opening minutes, it was clear that the draft edge predicted by the models—which favored Rising Gaming at 59%—was going to materialize with terrifying efficiency. The blueprint was simple: allow the mid-lane powerhouse to scale while the support disrupted any attempt at an engage. Patch, playing Poppy, acted as a brick wall, utilizing her kit to prevent Kangkuk's Vi from ever finding a meaningful flank. This defensive stability allowed the jungle to thrive, as Ankochan pushed his Xin Zhao to a staggering +1796 gold advantage by the fifteen-minute mark. As the game progressed toward the twenty-minute mark, the gold lead ballooned, turning the match into a total stomp.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The statistical disparity in this match is nothing short of haunting. While RAYN Clocks struggled to even find a single kill, Rising Gaming amassed a massive 32 kills. The mid-lane gap was the primary driver of this carnage; Razer's Hwei was completely shut down, finishing with a 0/7/0 scoreline and a devastating -2520 gold deficit at fifteen minutes. This allowed Ramune to operate with total impunity, maintaining a flawless 13/0 kill score. The bot lane was equally lopsable, as Archer on Ashe posted an incredible 8/1/12 performance, providing the consistent DPS needed to dismantle towers and take control of the map.
The Final Push
By the time the clock hit 24:10, the game was effectively over. Rising Gaming had dismantled the enemy structure, taking 10 towers to just 1 for their opponents. The sheer weight of the 18k gold lead made any comeback attempt by RAYN Clocks impossible. With 1 baron and 3 dragons under their belt, the victory was a foregone conclusion. The series ends with Rising Gaming standing tall, having proven that when their mid-lane star is in form, they are nearly impossible to stop in the LJL.
