Multiple LCK organizations, including Kiwoom DRX, explored interest in the 2022 World Champion, yet Nongshim's reported pursuit of proven leadership after a disappointing 2026 campaign drives the edge.

This leaves room for roster shifts or competing offers to influence the offseason market before finalization.
