After successfully snapping a three-game losing streak, KRX Head Coach Cho Jae-eup expressed his satisfaction with the addition of Kim 'Aiming' Ha-ram and pledged to continue the team's strong performance.

KRX broke their losing streak with a 2-1 comeback victory against Han Jin Brion in the 2026 LCK Split 3 match held on the 31st. Notably, Kim 'Aiming' Ha-ram, who joined the team following a trade announced just the day before, started the match and played a pivotal role in leading the team to victory.

In the post-match interview, Coach Cho shared his thoughts on the win, saying, "I had many concerns after our opening loss, but even though we didn't have time to practice as a team, the players performed exactly as I expected, which made it easier for us to win."

Regarding the instructions given to Kim, who played immediately after his transfer, Coach Cho explained, "Our team had a tendency to stumble while trying to execute our winning plans. Having felt how difficult it was to play against Kim in the past, I simply told him to play comfortably as he always has and to communicate only what was necessary."

On the sudden mid-season trade, he recalled, "It happened so quickly that I only heard the news when it was already in the final stages. Since a new player had joined, I felt a lot of pressure knowing that a loss would be entirely my responsibility, but deep down, I was thrilled because he is the exact type of ranged damage dealer our mid-jungle duo needed."

Finally, Coach Cho did not forget to thank the players he had worked with. "I really want to express my gratitude to 'LazyFeel' for his hard work before the trade and to 'Jiwoo,' who is leaving the team. I wish them both the best," he said. "We will prepare well to ensure we continue to show good form in our remaining matches."
