DRX (initialism derived from the previous name DragonX and currently named Kiwoom DRX for sponsorship reasons) is a South Korean esports organization with teams competing in League of Legends, Tekken 8, Valorant and Warcraft. It previously had teams competing in Honor of Kings and Clash Royale.
DRX's League of Legends division competes in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK). It has won two back-to-back LCK titles (2017 Summer and 2018 Spring) and the 2022 edition of the League of Legends World Championship.
History DRX's League of Legends division was initially named Incredible Miracle in 2012. In January 2016, Incredible Miracle was rebranded as Longzhu Gaming, which took over the name of their sponsor, LongZhu TV.
Longzhu Gaming was acquired by Chinese esports organization Kingzone in January 2018, and was rebranded as Kingzone DragonX (abbreviated as KZ).
In October 2019, Kingzone parted ways with its LoL division, which continued competing as DragonX and was later rebranded as abbreviated name DRX.
