Hanwha Life Esports defeated Nongshim RedForce 2–0 on August 6 at LoL Park in Jonggak, Seoul, during the 2025 LCK Round 4. Although neither Game 1 nor Game 2 was flawless, Hanwha maintained their focus throughout and ultimately bested Nongshim. Below is the English translation of the post-match interviews with head coach Choi "DanDy" In-kyu and mid laner Kim "Zeka" Geon-woo.

How do you feel about defeating Nongshim RedForce 2–0?

DanDy: I’m very happy with the 2–0 win. We fell behind early in Game 1, but we managed to overcome that through disciplined macro play. In Game 2, their draft with champions like Shen and Nocturne introduced many variables, and they secured a lot of early skirmish advantages. Fortunately, our late-game focus allowed us to reverse the situation.

Zeka: Although the result was 2–0, the process felt insecure at times, so I’m a bit disappointed.

What was the key to today’s victory?

DanDy: We also beat Nongshim RedForce 2–0 in our previous matchup. Game 2 back then was a bit tricky, and we addressed those specific weaknesses in our preparation.

Zeka: In both games today, we encountered disadvantaged situations, but everyone stayed focused and we were able to claw back each time.

You’ve now guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Thoughts?

DanDy: That guarantee doesn’t carry immense weight for us right now. Our goal is to continue improving our performance in the remaining matches and ensure that past issues don’t resurface.

Zeka: Once we reach the playoffs, it’ll be crucial to secure wins against teams like Gen.G and T1. So raising our level of play is our main objective.

During the toughest moments today, what did you talk about?

Zeka: In Game 2, they overextended a bit. Our jungler and support held firm, we secured Baron, and that turned the tide in our favor.

Any final comments?

DanDy: Thanks to all the fans for your support today. We’ll review our shortcomings and work to improve.

Zeka: Round 4 is underway, and we’re determined to beat the teams we couldn’t overcome in Round 3.
