Nongshim RedForce suffered a 0-2 defeat against Gen.G Esports in the second round of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season, which took place at the LoL Park Chzzk Arena in Jongno on the 6th. Despite making a bold move by acquiring a new AD carry mid-season in an attempt to change their fortunes, the team continues to face challenges, with their losing streak now extending to five matches and nine consecutive sets.
Below is the complete transcript of the interview with Head Coach Choi In-kyu and ‘Lehends’ Son Si-woo.
Q. What are your thoughts on today’s match?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “Losing 0-2 today is very disappointing.”
‘Lehends’: “I feel disheartened as the losing streak continues.”
Q. What was the most disappointing aspect of today’s match?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “It feels like we have forgotten how to close out games, even when victory seemed within reach. It’s frustrating to lose games that we should have won.”
Q. Top Twisted Fate was picked in Game 2. What was the intention behind this, and why didn’t it work out?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “We chose it to have priority against Gnar, but our planned strategy fell apart early in the game, leading to unexpected results.”
Q. The 0-2 losses are accumulating. In Game 1 today, you had a significant lead before being overtaken.
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “There were opportunities for us to win. Securing even one victory during this streak would have boosted our confidence and given us hope. The continuous losses have affected the team’s morale, but I believe that winning a single game can reignite our instincts and turn things around. Both the players and the staff are working tirelessly to achieve a win.”
Q. How is it going with ‘Diable’ Nam Dae-geun, your new teammate?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “I can provide a better assessment once we have the opportunity to play as a cohesive team. As we have struggled to win from behind, it’s challenging to evaluate at this point.”
‘Lehends’: “I agree. I will only comment on ‘Diable’ joining us once it translates into a victory. Until then, there isn’t much to say.”
Q. Any plans to make further roster changes to improve the team dynamic?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “I have no comments on that matter at this time.”
Q. Lastly, what are your goals for the next match?
Head Coach Choi In-kyu: “We will prepare thoroughly to secure a victory in the upcoming match.”
‘Lehends’: “We are determined to win the next game.”
