Nongshim RedForce officially announced on April 30 the signing of Nam "Diable" Dae-geun from BNK FearX in a one-for-one trade. In exchange, NS sent their starting AD carry, Kim "Taeyoon" Tae-yoon, to BFX. The move was completed just before the May 1 deadline that closes the LCK transfer window until the end of the Road to MSI.

A trade born from controversy

Diable had been demoted to BFX's second roster on April 28 over attitude and accountability concerns, after refusing to attend a scheduled fan meeting. BFX confirmed that internal disciplinary measures were also planned.
