Summary

Expected Rosters

Kiwoom DRX’s primary roster has been Rich, Willer, Ucal, LazyFeel and Andil. Nongshim’s later-season lineup lists Kingen, Sponge, Scout, Diable and Lehends.

Recent Form

Nongshim finished first in their KeSPA preliminary group with a 4-1 record. Kiwoom DRX finished 2-3.

Riot’s latest Global Power Rankings placed KRX slightly above Nongshim, at approximately 30th and 35th respectively. The narrow gap supports a competitive three-game prediction rather than a sweep.

Key Matchups

Ucal vs Scout

Scout gives Nongshim a proven carry and experienced map leader.

Ucal must maintain mid priority and prevent Scout from connecting freely with Sponge and Lehends.

Willer vs Sponge

Willer’s early aggression is KRX’s main route to a lead.

Sponge should benefit from a more experienced support structure around neutral objectives.

LazyFeel vs Diable

Both bottom laners can become primary damage sources.

LazyFeel may have the higher short-term ceiling, while Diable should receive reliable protection from Lehends.

Schedule Factor

Kiwoom DRX are scheduled to play KT Rolster in the KeSPA Cup Last Chance Qualifier one day before this LCK match.

That tight turnaround could limit preparation time and increase fatigue if the qualifier reaches three long games. This is an inference based on the published schedules rather than a confirmed competitive disadvantage.

Prediction

Nongshim’s 4-1 KeSPA performance suggests that their current lineup is adapting well.

KRX can win one game through Rich’s side-lane pressure or Willer’s early activity, but Nongshim should have the stronger objective setup across a complete series.

Predicted winner: Nongshim RedForce

Predicted score: Nongshim 2-1 Kiwoom DRX
