Top players by damage
TL;DR: JD Gaming closed out Team WE to extend their winning run to 5, completing a 2-0 LPL 2026 Season Split 3 sweep. GALA’s Ezreal anchored the 25:13 stomp with a 13.00 KDA, while a relentless objective advantage turned Game 2 into a decisive statement.
Key Takeaways
- JD Gaming turned a 19-5 kill score and 57.9k to 42.2k gold edge into their fifth straight win, underlining their control of the LPL race.
- GALA delivered a 6/1/7 line on Ezreal for a 13.00 KDA, giving JD Gaming a dependable carry as Team WE’s resistance broke.
- HongQ produced 7/0/6 on Syndra and dealt 39.8% of his team’s damage, ensuring every JD Gaming lead became harder to contest.
Building the Lead
JD Gaming entered Game 2 already holding the series momentum after winning Game 1 20-11 in 33:15, and they refused to give Team WE a route back into the BO3. The second map was shorter, sharper, and far more punishing: a 25:13 demolition on Patch 26.15.
JunJia made the early map dangerous with Jarvan IV, finishing 3/1/9 as his ganks created room for the lanes to take over. Once the first openings appeared, JD Gaming did not merely collect kills; they converted every advantage into map control, denying Team WE the breathing room needed for their scaling picks.
On the other side, About was forced to carry the damage burden through Lucian, recording all 5 of Team WE’s kills in a 5/5/0 effort. That output showed determination, but it also exposed the problem: his teammates could not consistently join the fights or create a second threat.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The gold totals reveal the scale of the stomp. JD Gaming ended with 57.9k gold against Team WE’s 42.2k, a crushing 16k gold lead that made the closing stages feel inevitable. Their 10 towers to 1 advantage removed vision, territory, and safe farming space long before the Nexus fell.
HongQ made the mid lane the game’s central pressure point on Syndra. His perfect 7/0/6 score and 39.8% damage share meant Team WE had to respect burst from every angle, even when attempting to defend their shrinking base.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxu kept the side lanes stable on Olaf, contributing 3/0/4 without surrendering a death. That clean top-side control allowed his team to move toward objectives with confidence rather than being dragged into a desperate split-push response.
The Final Push
JD Gaming’s objective count captured their discipline: 2 dragons, 1 barons, and 10 towers compared with Team WE’s 1 dragons, 0 barons, and 1 towers. The Baron did not simply decorate the stat sheet; it supplied the final leverage needed to crack the remaining defenses.
Vampire absorbed the danger on Nautilus with a 0/3/11 score, repeatedly creating the engage windows that let his carries fire freely. Behind that frontline, GALA’s 6/1/7 performance ensured the series-ending push had both safety and finishing power.
The result was a clean 2-0 sweep and a fifth consecutive victory for JD Gaming. In a competitive LPL 2026 field, this was not just a win over Team WE—it was a warning that JD Gaming can turn a small opening into a one-sided game with alarming speed.
