Nongshim RedForce’s slide continues.

Nongshim lost 0–2 to Gen.G in a Round 4 matchup of the 2025 LCK at LoL Park in Jonggak, Seoul, on the 14th. Listless throughout, they dropped both Games 1 and 2 in 24 minutes, offering little resistance, and today’s defeat extended their losing streak to seven matches since Round 3.

Below is the interview with Nongshim head coach Park "Chelly" Seung-jin and support Son "Lehends" Si-woo.

It was, literally, a complete defeat. Thoughts on facing Gen.G today?

Chelly (Head Coach): It was so miserable that it barely felt like something you could even call a match.

Lehends: The difference in level is just too big.

What caused today’s loss?

Chelly (Head Coach): In a word, the things that needed to happen didn’t, and that led to a blowup. After that, everyone got impatient with an “I’ll do it myself” mindset, and the gap widened a lot.

This felt like a mismatch in weight class—teamwork, strategy, and tactics barely mattered. Do you think there’s any chance of closing the gap on the so-called “Big Three” in the Legend Group?

Chelly (Head Coach): Closing that gap is our job. It’s hard, but not impossible. I actually think holding onto the top is even harder. We mustn’t take it for granted that we lose to Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, and T1.

How will you prepare for the upcoming matches?

Chelly (Head Coach): Within the Legend Group, I think we’re at least lumped together with KT Rolster. Our series against KT is important for both teams as a momentum-shifter. The goal is to prepare well for KT.

Translator’s note: Team and venue names, and the term “Legend Group,” follow official English usage: Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, T1, KT Rolster, Nongshim RedForce, and LoL Park; “Legend Group” is the top-five grouping used in the LCK 2025 format.
