DN SOOPers finished their season on a high note by defeating Kiwoom DRX 2-0 in their final Round 4 match of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK), held at CHZZK LoL Park in Jonggak on August 22. DN SOOPers had been enduring a brutal season marked by a massive losing streak, but after 'Sharvel' Kim Dan-woo joined the roster in Round 3, the team—which had managed only a single win through Rounds 1 and 2—added 5 more victories in Rounds 3 and 4 alone.

Below is the full post-match interview with DNS interim head coach Yu Byung-jun and 'Sharvel' Kim Dan-woo following the final game of the season.

Q. How do you feel about closing out the final match with a clean 2-0 victory?

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: I was a bit anxious at first, but the players performed so well that it turned out to be a comfortable win.

'Sharvel': I'm happy that we won our last match of the season cleanly with a 2-0 score.

Q. You turned Game 1 around at Baron.

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: Our team composition had great late-game value, so I felt as long as nothing went wrong, we would win—but then a major accident actually happened. Even so, the team didn't lose focus, and after winning a massive teamfight, I felt confident we wouldn't lose.

'Sharvel': There were many things we could have exploited early on to build an advantage, but we missed them. However, we managed to turn the game around through that Baron teamfight.

Q. Game 2 was a dominant victory.

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: Above all, our laning phase went so well that it must have been very difficult for our opponents to find a way back into the game.

'Sharvel': Mid and bot laning were extremely important in that game, and that's where we grabbed the momentum.

Q. You joined mid-season, won the KeSPA Cup, and picked up 5 wins across Rounds 3 and 4. Did you expect to do this well?

'Sharvel': Honestly, I didn't know if we could secure 5 wins. Winning the KeSPA Cup was the same. But as we kept playing, we achieved strong results, so I think things turned out well.

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: Normally, when a team gets eliminated, the atmosphere can't be good, but right now our team environment is actually pretty good. It's just a shame we don't get to play more matches.

Q. Do you feel more ambitious about next year now?

'Sharvel': I think I showed a solid performance through Rounds 3 and 4 as well as the KeSPA Cup. I'm not entirely sure about next year yet, but until then, I plan to prepare by grinding solo queue and watching a lot of official tournaments.

Q. How was it playing against first-team LCK junglers in official matches?

'Sharvel': I believe that as long as I play my own game, I can beat anyone.

Q. How would you evaluate 'Sharvel'?

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: Of course he still has areas to refine, but he has clear strengths. He is a player with a very bright future, brought an immensely positive effect to our team, and is simply a great player.

Q. Any final comments?

Interim Head Coach Yu Byung-jun: This was my first time taking on the role of interim head coach, and I feel deeply sorry for our 10th-place finish. Still, I'm glad we were able to show a better side of ourselves at the end, and I'm always grateful to the fans.

'Sharvel': Even though we failed to reach the Play-Ins, I believe we were able to achieve good results in Rounds 3 and 4 and win the KeSPA Cup thanks to the constant support from our fans.
