Commercial note

About KRW 1.5bn annually plus performance incentives to the operating company, as reported in October 2026.[4]

Riot Games announced in November 2024 that the acquired roster would compete under the Nongshim RedForce banner in VCT Pacific in 2025. The announcement distinguished that roster from Nongshim’s earlier Challengers team, whose affiliation would end after the 2024 Korea Split 3 competition.[3]

Riot’s 2026 season primer confirms that Nongshim RedForce qualified for the 2026 league through Ascension Pacific 2025. This establishes its season-specific participation following the earlier 2025 entry.[4]
