TL;DR: Nongshim RedForce 72% vs DN SOOPers 28%. Nongshim’s decisive advantage is its far stronger early-game profile, led by Scout’s +556 GD@15 and a team score of 7.8/10 against DN SOOPers’ 1.5/10. If Nongshim translate that lane control into clean objectives, they should own this BO3.
Nongshim RedForce arrive with momentum despite a 9-19 overall record, having won 4-1 across their last five series. Their wins over T1, BNK FEARX, and Kiwoom DRX show a team that has found a more reliable route through the middle of games, while DN SOOPers enter at 6-25 after a 2-3 stretch. DN can still make games messy, but their average gold differential of -3,464 and 12.8 kills per game underline how often they are forced to play from behind.
The central matchup is mid lane. Scout has posted a 6.0 KDA, 69.1% kill participation, and that +556 GD@15, making him Nongshim’s clearest avenue to establish priority. Clozer is not without upside, carrying 75.0% kill participation and +238 GD@15, but DN need him to convert lane stability into earlier roams rather than merely surviving the opening. In the bottom lane, Diable’s 7.6 KDA, 76.5% kill participation, and 26.7% damage share give Nongshim another late-fight carry condition, especially if Lehends can find proactive engage windows.
DN’s best route is through Sharvel, whose 73.2% kill participation shows how involved he remains even in difficult losses. Yet Sponge is trending upward with a 5.2 KDA and brings a higher chance of turning a controlled mid-game into a snowball. Top lane may be volatile: Kingen has a -751 GD@15, while DuDu sits at -267, but both can create draft-specific pressure on champions such as Rumble, Olaf, and Ambessa.
Draft should be shaped by the LCK’s priority trio of Varus, Orianna, and Rumble, whose presence rates reach 78.1%, 78.1%, and 75.6%. Expect heavy bans around Varus and Orianna, while Nongshim should strongly consider Nocturne as a B1 option after his 55.6% WR in 9 games. The supplied report does not include a head-to-head result, so current form and matchup data carry greater weight than past-series narrative.
Nongshim RedForce remain 72% favorites because their superior early-game numbers and Scout-centered carry threat give them more dependable ways to win the series.
