After a stint with China powerhouse Titan Esports Club (TEC), Rb has decided to return to his home region, reuniting with familiar territory in Korea. Known for his time with Vision Strikers and DRX, Rb brings a wealth of international experience and versatility to NS RedForce, where he is expected to become the strategic cornerstone of the team.

Sungmin's coaching addition is equally notable. Sungmin previously led Sin Prisa Gaming through a breakout run in VCT Challengers Korea 2024 Split 2, culminating in the team securing a slot to VCT Pacific 2025. Following this success, NS RedForce acquired Sin Prisa Gaming's roster. After that, Sungmin spent time with T1 Valorant Academy, where he played a key role in developing young talent. 

These changes come at a critical time, as NS RedForce aims to rise through the Pacific circuit rankings. The organisation is yet to find significant success in major tournaments, but this duo's arrival hints at a renewed ambition. With VCT Pacific Stage 2 just around the corner, all eyes will be on how this revamped NS RedForce lineup performs.
