Nongshim RedForce picked up a crucial best-of-three win over HANJIN BRION on August 14, 2026, in the LCK Rise Group Rounds 3-4. The result flips the script on a matchup that had, for the first time in recent memory, tilted in BRO’s favor just over a week ago.
Both squads entered the day clinging to the bottom half of the Rise Group standings, making this less of a showcase match and more of a survival bout.
A rematch with real stakes
On August 5, HANJIN BRION had beaten Nongshim RedForce 2-1, with BRO’s ADC Teddy earning Player of the Match honors. That result was notable because NS had historically owned the head-to-head against BRO. The August 5 upset broke a longstanding pattern of dominance.
The rematch kicked off at approximately 10:00 UTC. NS secured the series victory, though the individual game scores from the August 14 match were not immediately detailed in post-match reporting.
