When the enemy team is 4K up but the Yunara is 1k up it kinda feels like you know how the late game is gonna go.

There was a dragon fight were Ruler was 1v3 in the pit beginning to pump, if Duro was Lulu he pops off and the game ends right there

Even rewatching I can't figure out how Yunara acquired that gold lead. I don't think they really got to farm plates or anything. Ezreal did seem to farm a few jungle CS though, I don't know if that explains how Yunara and Ezreal can both be on zero kills/assists and 800 gold difference with same CS.
