LoL: Nongshim Red Force vs DN SOOPers (BO3) - LCK Round 3-4 Rise Group

Platform comparison

Market context

Nongshim Red Force and DN SOOPers are due to meet in the LCK Round 3-4 Rise Group with the market leaning to Nongshim at 70%, but the live setup is still sensitive to whether the series starts on time and is played as scheduled. The fixture is listed for 10:00 UTC, which is 6:00 AM ET, and the settlement window closes the same day unless the match is delayed beyond the market’s seven-day threshold. [1][7]

The current price is close to recent head-to-head and form signals. Nongshim beat DN SOOPers in several recent series, but DN took the last completed BO3 between them 2-1 in LCK Cup 2026, so the matchup has not been one-way. Recent pre-match models also conflict: one tracker has Nongshim around 73% while another has DN SOOPers favoured at 54%, implying the crowd is pricing in Nongshim’s stronger recent results more than raw matchup history. [2][3][10]

For traders, the main catalysts are simple: final confirmation that the series goes ahead, side selection and draft direction once the lobby is live, and any late schedule changes from the broadcast or league operator. Nongshim’s recent momentum is the clearest support for the current YES side, but DN’s upset wins and the possibility of a close BO3 keep the price from becoming extreme. If the match is not completed for any reason covered by the rules, resolution can still shift away from a clean team winner. [3][4][13]
