‘Teddy’ = “The sneaky Baron was a really great call by ‘Gideon'”
Hanwha Life Esports Brion (HLE Brion) secured a 2-0 victory against Nongshim RedForce in the second round of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season, held at the Chzzk LoL Park in Jongno on the 9th. The team’s strategic execution throughout both sets was on par with top-tier teams, and the individual performance of the players was in full bloom.
The following is the full post-match interview with ‘Teddy’ Park Jin-seong, who was named Player of the Match (POM).
Q. You defeated Nongshim RedForce 2-0 to secure a four-game winning streak.
‘Teddy’ = I’m happy to have beaten Nongshim 2-0 today and extended our winning streak to four. It feels even better to have won against my former teammates, ‘Sponge’ Bae Young-jun and ‘Fleta’ Son Min-woo.
Q. That’s eight consecutive set wins. You’ve broken the record for the most consecutive set wins held by the 2015 Najin team. Fans are even joking, ‘Najin is actually doing this?’ What are your thoughts?
‘Teddy’ = I remember the old ‘Najin’ days felt like losing games that were already won. I’m relieved that the 2026 HLE Brion has developed well and become a team that keeps winning. We just need to keep this momentum going.
Q. What do you think is the driving force behind Hanjin Brion’s formidable rise?
‘Teddy’ = The biggest factor is that all the players have gained confidence. Also, communication within the team is excellent now.
Q. You faced your former teammate ‘Fleta’. How did you prepare for the bot lane matchup?
‘Teddy’ = I didn’t overthink it and just played my usual game. It was a bit painful to keep getting dived during the match, but considering I was being dived, I think I did my job well in the mid-to-late game, so it was fine.
Q. You picked Lucian-Milio in Game 1. How did you plan to play against the Caitlyn-Bard combo?
‘Teddy’ = I thought the opponents might lead the laning phase, but I believed Lucian-Milio had higher value in the mid-game. I picked them first with the mindset that even if we fell behind early, we would push back in the mid-game. Thanks to our top side creating a gap, the game went well.
Q. Your response to the bot lane dive early in Game 2 was fantastic.
‘Teddy’ = Another dive was coming, so I went into it thinking, ‘They’re here, let’s handle this well.’ The opponents were low on health, and I was confident that if we bought time in the bot lane, our teammates farming on the top side would provide a return. That allowed me to play more aggressively.
Q. The sneaky Baron in the mid-game of Game 2 was decisive. Whose call was it?
‘Teddy’ = ‘Gideon’ Kim Min-seong caught that the opponents weren’t paying any attention to the Baron area and called for us to take it with Twisted Fate. I think it was a really great call.
Q. It feels like you have also grown while working with the rookie players. How is the team atmosphere?
‘Teddy’ = We have great chemistry. Everyone is close, and I think the secret to our growth is that we communicate well, both in daily life and in the game. As a veteran, I don’t do anything special. The younger players do a great job of lifting the mood, so I’m just riding that wave.
Q. Your next opponent is DN Supers. You’ll be aiming for a five-game winning streak; are you confident?
‘Teddy’ = I think our current matchup is favorable. If we just play well without making mistakes, I think we can definitely continue the winning streak. I want to keep winning.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
