Noxville shared statistics from the match between Yakutou Brothers and Vici in the Chinese qualifiers for The International 2026

Team Liquid Technical Director Ben “Noxville” Stenheisen commented on X about the third map of the match between Yakutou Brothers and Vici Gaming in the closed qualifiers for The International 2026 in China.
Yakutou Brothers vs. Vici Gaming, Game 3.
- The second-largest gold comeback in history (~60,000 at the 78-minute mark).
- The 7th-longest game in this patch / 63rd-longest of all time.
- 4 Divine Rapiers (only 42 games have had more!).
It’s also interesting to look at map control: -14.3—Vici had the third-lowest map control score among winners in patches 7.40 and 7.41.
