NC is facing off with two wins and two losses in the series, but it has handed over the atmosphere of the series. In order to reverse the atmosphere, it was best for ace Eric Peddy with 20 wins and 200 strikeouts to take the mound and instill fear in the opponent. However, Peddy's start in Game 5 was also canceled as the accumulated fatigue on his shoulder did not completely go away.

Coach Kang In-kwon said, "Peddy continued to talk about his shoulder being a little heavy after taking the mound in the first game. His fatigue has not fully recovered yet, he said. "Even though I had time to recover, I think it is too much for me to talk about my discomfort now."

Since NC lost two games after two wins, it is necessary to change the atmosphere around. Shin Min-hyuk will start, but he cannot save Pedi. As it could be the last game of the season, all-out efforts should be made, and Peddy is also included.

Coach Kang In-kwon said, "Today could be the last game. I'm going to train and come in, watch the situation, get a report, and wait in the middle. "I'll be waiting in the bullpen and I'll see if I can put it in," he explained. Tanner and Lee Yong-joon were the NC players who did not play on the same day. Except for the two players, the team will mobilize all of them, including Pedi.

As for Peddy's pitch count, "I haven't decided on the pitch count and the inning yet. "I will train and come back, watch him, and then I will make a decision," he said. "Peddy himself is having a hard time, and it is regrettable that he cannot take the mound. I think I'm doing it in the areas I can now," he said.

As for Shin Min-hyuk, who will start instead of Peddy, he said, "I think I will show the same pitching as the previous games if I put down the burden because I have shown good pitching in two consecutive postseason games."

Meanwhile, NC changed its lineup significantly that day. Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Martin (center fielder), Oh Young-soo (first baseman), Kim Hyung-joon (catcher), and Kim Joo-won (shortstop). Seo Ho-chul moved up to No. 2 and Martin dropped down to No. 6.

Coach Kang In-kwon said, "I've been forward-deployed with players who are currently in good condition. Seo Ho-chul showed good performance in the last at-bat of Game 4, so he thought it was crucial and placed it in front, he said. "Martin decided it would be better to change the batting lineup and hit comfortably."
