Nongshim RedForce suffered a 0-2 loss against DRX today.
In a departure from the first round, Nongshim RedForce fielded ‘Diable’ instead of ‘Taeyoon’ today. However, the lack of time to develop synergy resulted in frequent performance lapses.

Following the match, Head Coach Choi In-kyu expressed disappointment, stating, “Losing 0-2 is disheartening, especially with our subpar performance.” ‘Lehends’ also shared his disappointment, mentioning, “The loss leaves us with little to learn from. It’s disappointing considering our poor performance.”
With ‘Diable’ (Nam Dae-geun) stepping into the bot lane, Nongshim RedForce had limited preparation time. Coach Choi remarked, “The loss wasn’t directly caused by this. Due to the lack of synergy, we aimed for the most intuitive composition.” ‘Lehends,’ ‘Diable’s’ partner, added, “Since ‘Diable’ joined, we’ve been striving to communicate effectively, and it will be an ongoing adjustment process.”
‘Lehends’ emphasized, “Today’s loss stems from various team shortcomings,” expressing regret to the fans. He added, “I apologize for the recurring message, but I am committed to hard work with the aim of victory. Establishing synergy with ‘Diable’ swiftly to form a strong bot lane is my top priority.”
Concluding the interview, Coach Choi acknowledged the subpar performance but pledged to address issues and reveal a stronger team in the future.
