Nongshim RedForce Announces Dambi Departure

Nongshim RedForce has announced the departure of Lee ‘Dambi’ Hyuk-kyu from its Valorant roster ahead of the 2027 season. Nongshim RedForce was not selected as a Partnered Team for the VCT 2027 and 2028 seasons despite its team being one of the most successful rosters in 2026. The Korean organization plans to continue competing in the Valorant space, despite missing out on Partner Status. The announcement ends the long-term collaboration of Park ‘Ivy’ Sung-hyeon, Kim ‘Francis’ Mu-bin, and Dambi, who had been together since 2023, starting in Shadow Corporation, Sin Prisa Gaming, and finally Nongshim RedForce.
