Game 1: Nongshim Take Control Early

Nongshim RedForce had a strong start in Game 1.

First, Sponge created pressure from the jungle. At the same time, Diable and Lehends helped NS control the bottom side of the map.

As a result, Nongshim quickly built a gold lead. They also secured several important resources. Meanwhile, deokdam and Peter came under heavy pressure in the bottom lane. DNS struggled to find a way back into the game.

For a while, NS looked ready to take the first game. However, DNS refused to give up. Instead, they stayed patient and waited for a chance.

Eventually, that chance came around Baron.

A Bold Baron Call Changes Game 1

DNS made a risky decision while playing from behind. They started Baron Nashor. The move could have gone badly. If Nongshim had reacted faster, DNS could have lost the fight and the game.

However, NS did not respond in time. Therefore, Sharvel and his teammates secured Baron. Suddenly, DNS had a way back into the game.

The Baron buff gave them more control over the map. Moreover, Clozer had more space to deal damage.

At the same time, DuDu created pressure in the side lane. Nongshim now had a difficult choice. They could group together and risk losing structures. Alternatively, they could split up and become easier targets for DNS.

Because of this, NS slowly lost control of the game.

DNS Complete a Stunning Comeback

After taking Baron, DNS became much more aggressive. They pushed the lanes and forced Nongshim to defend. Meanwhile, Sharvel continued to create pressure around key areas.

Soon after, DNS found the fight they needed. This time, Nongshim could not stop them. DNS won the crucial battle and opened a path into the NS base. Then, they pushed forward and destroyed the Nexus.

As a result, DNS completed an impressive comeback and took a 1-0 lead. The loss was painful for Nongshim. They had controlled much of the early game. However, one major mistake around Baron changed everything.

DNS, on the other hand, showed great patience. More importantly, they took their chance when it appeared.

Game 2: DNS Start With More Confidence

After the comeback, DNS entered Game 2 with much more confidence. This time, they did not fall far behind. Instead, they started to control the pace themselves. Once again, Sharvel played an important role. His early moves helped DNS put pressure on several parts of the map.

Meanwhile, DuDu challenged Kingen in the top lane. In mid, Clozer also found more room against Scout. The bottom lane was more stable as well. deokdam and Peter did not allow Diable and Lehends to build the same early lead as before.

Therefore, Nongshim had fewer ways to take control.

As the game continued, DNS slowly built their advantage.

Sharvel Creates Pressure Across the Map

Sharvel continued to cause problems for Nongshim. First, his movements helped DNS control the early tempo. Then, he gave his laners more chances to play forward.

His pressure was especially useful around major objectives. Whenever NS tried to move into the river, DNS were ready to respond. As a result, Nongshim struggled to find safe fights.

In addition, Sharvel created more space for DuDu and Clozer. Both players used that space well. They gained more resources and became stronger as the game went on. Game 2 was very different from the opener.

In Game 1, DNS had to survive before making a comeback. In Game 2, however, they were in control for much longer.

DuDu and Clozer Increase the Pressure

Sharvel was not the only DNS player making an impact. DuDu continued to put pressure on the top side. Therefore, Nongshim could not simply focus on the other lanes.

At the same time, Clozer became a reliable source of damage. He also helped DNS win important fights. Meanwhile, deokdam and Peter stayed solid in the bottom lane.

Because of this, DNS had threats across the entire map. That made Nongshim’s job much harder.

If NS sent too many players to one side, DNS could attack somewhere else. In addition, DNS had better control around major objectives.

As a result, their lead continued to grow.

Nongshim Cannot Find a Comeback

Nongshim tried to fight their way back into the game.

However, their options became more limited over time. Kingen, Sponge, Scout, Diable, and Lehends looked for chances to punish DNS. Still, DNS were usually ready for their moves.

Moreover, every failed play gave DNS another chance to gain resources. Soon, the gap became too large. Nongshim could no longer take comfortable fights. In contrast, DNS could decide when and where to attack.

Eventually, DNS entered the Nongshim base. They destroyed the Nexus and completed a convincing 2-0 victory.

Sharvel Becomes a Key Player for DNS

One of the biggest highlights of DNS vs NS was Sharvel’s performance. The DNS jungler had a strong impact in both games.

In Game 1, he helped his team stay alive despite Nongshim’s early lead. More importantly, the Baron play helped change the entire game.

Then, Sharvel continued to shine in Game 2. His early moves created pressure across the map. Furthermore, they gave DuDu and Clozer more room to play.

Because of that, his impact went far beyond individual plays. Sharvel helped DNS control the pace. He also made life much easier for his teammates.

A Strong Team Performance From DNS

Although Sharvel stood out, the victory was a team effort. DuDu created constant pressure on the top side. Meanwhile, Clozer gave DNS reliable damage in teamfights.

In addition, deokdam and Peter recovered well after a difficult start in Game 1. Together, the five DNS players showed strong mental strength.

They also showed two different ways to win. First, DNS proved that they could stay calm while playing from behind. Then, they showed that they could build a lead and close out the game.

Therefore, the 2-0 result was more than just an upset. It was also a strong team performance.

Then, a bold Baron call gave them the chance to turn the game around. Game 2 was more controlled. This time, DNS took the lead and never allowed Nongshim to fully recover.

For NS, the defeat was especially disappointing. Kingen, Sponge, Scout, Diable, and Lehends had a strong chance to win the first game. However, they failed to finish it.

In contrast, DNS made better decisions when it mattered most. DuDu, Sharvel, Clozer, deokdam, and Peter stayed calm under pressure. They also took full advantage of Nongshim’s mistakes.

Most importantly, Sharvel delivered an impressive performance in the jungle. With this 2-0 win over Nongshim RedForce, DN Automotive Supers produced one of their most memorable results at LCK 2026.
