Nongshim RedForce Allows Dambi to Explore Options

Nongshim RedForce has allowed Lee "Dambi" Hyuk-kyu to explore his options, with Dambi saying he is still in talks with the club but has permission to look at opportunities for next year. Dambi has been part of the Sin Prisa Gaming-centric Nongshim core since March 2023, teaming with Francis and Ivy since their Team OGS days. The move comes shortly after Nongshim RedForce was not selected as a partnered org ahead of Riot's next partnership agreement shift, with all Nongshim player contracts due to expire at the end of the 2026 season on November 2.
