On the 24th, NC won the Korean Series by defeating the Doosan Bears 4-2 in the sixth round of the 2020 KS Shinhan Bank SOL KBO postseason held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 24th.
With this, NC has won the long-awaited Korean Series in 9 years since its establishment as the ninth Korean professional baseball team in 2011. By conquering both the regular league and the Korean series, it stood out as the best team of the true baseball team. Korean professional.
NC founded NCsoft, a leading online game developer and publisher in Korea, as its parent company in 2011. After appointing coach Kim Gyeong-moon, the ‘national director’ who created the myth of the gold medal at the Games 2008 Beijing Olympians, he joined the Futures League in 2012 and entered the first team league in earnest starting in 2013.
There was no trial and error from the new team. NC, which ranked 7th out of 9 teams with a 40% win rate in the first team’s first season in 2013, achieved a miracle of advancing to the postseason with third place in the regular league the following year.
However, this was just the beginning of an era of success for NC. NC entered the playoffs in 2015, and in 2016, the first since its inception, it recorded a history of climbing to the Korean series. Although Doosan was retired for four consecutive victories in the Korean Series, this experience provided a good foundation for success in four years.
NC also experienced fall baseball through a wild card game in 2017, and had the worst sinking season of 2018. Manager Kim Gyeong-moon, who has been leading the team since its inception, suffered the pain. to resign during the season.
Yet when manager Lee Dong-wook, who promoted systematic data baseball, took office in 2019, NC sparked a revival. After returning to fall baseball in fifth place, last year’s embarrassment was washed away.
In 2020, they quickly stood out as the best team in the league. With the power of a strong tuta, he has been winning and winning since the start of the season. After taking the lead in the league on May 13, after missing no spots, he confirmed the regular league championship on October 24.
NC, who directly confirmed KS by winning the regular league, calmly waited for the opponent and prepared. Unfortunately, the partner we met at KS was Doosan, who achieved a painful fourth consecutive victory at KS in 2016.
However, NC was different than when the experience was lacking four years ago. It has grown into a stronger team centered on veterans Euiji Yang and Seokmin Park, who already have the winning DNA, and Sungbeom Na and Minwoo Park, who have become Korea’s best hitters. Also, the growth of young players like Koo Chang-mo, Kang Jin-seong, and Song Myung-ki made the team healthier. The founding members of NC, who came together in earnest as Jonghyun Won, Jinsung Kim, and Taegun Kim, also contributed their strength to the center of the team.
Although not a star player, coach Dong-wook Lee, who has been active as a professional baseball coaching staff since 2005, has led the team without difficulty with calm judgment that actively uses data and moderate leadership through experience. long-term leadership.
In particular, the affection and active investment of Kim Taek-jin’s owner’s baseball team was the biggest driving force for NC to become the best team in a short time.
Owner Kim Taek-jin, who unintentionally traveled the country last month to win the North Carolina regular league on the field, proved he’s a ‘number one chin fan’ by attending games 1 through 6 of the series. Korean.
