Nongshim RedForce was tripped up by bottom-ranked DNS Super in the third round of the '2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)' at LoL PARK in Jonggak on the 8th. Nongshim suffered a crushing defeat today, failing to show any real momentum against DNS. Below is the full transcript of the interview with Nongshim RedForce Head Coach Choi In-kyu and Son 'Lehends' Si-u.

Q. Thoughts on today's 0-2 loss to DNS?

Head Coach Choi In-kyu: Every match is important, so it's very disappointing to lose 2-0.

'Lehends': It was a must-win game, so it's a shame we lost.

Q. What was the cause of the defeat?

Head Coach Choi In-kyu: While we lost partly because of our macro play and giving up Baron too easily, I also think our pick-ban phase made things a bit too comfortable for the opponent.

Q. What was disappointing about Game 2?

Head Coach Choi In-kyu: The opponent prepared a unique strategy with Alistar. We should have capitalized on other lanes when we took a loss in one, but we couldn't execute that, which made the game difficult.

'Lehends': We need to be more proactive when we have the lead. I believe we need to stay alert and improve if we want to win our remaining matches and climb higher.

Q. Any final words?

Head Coach Choi In-kyu: Our next match is also against DNS, and we will prepare well.

'Lehends': We will show you games that make our fans proud to support us.
