'''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''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.news.naver.com/esports/news/read.nhn?oid=109&aid=0003841538|title=왕자영요, 한국 프로리그 전초작업 대규모 '아마' 토너먼트 개최|website=sports.news.naver.com|language=ko|access-date=24 July 2019}}</ref>

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''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Liao |first1=Shannon |title=DRX beats T1 to win 2022 League of Legends World Championship |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/esports/2022/11/06/league-legends-worlds-drx-t1/ |website=Washington Post |access-date=6 November 2022}}</ref>

== 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sports.news.naver.com/esports/news/read.nhn?oid=109&aid=0003234061|title='아듀 IM'...롱주-IM, 롱주로 팀명과 엠블렘 변경|website=sports.news.naver.com|language=ko|access-date=24 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lol.tuwan.com/281208/|title=IM战队最新图标正式出炉 龙珠IM宣布成军！_兔玩网英雄联盟LOL专区|website=lol.tuwan.com|access-date=24 July 2019|archive-date=24 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724053521/https://lol.tuwan.com/281208/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Longzhu Gaming was acquired by Chinese esports organization Kingzone in January 2018, and was rebranded as ''Kingzone DragonX'' (abbreviated as ''KZ'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://esportsobserver.com/kingzone-acquires-longzhu-gaming/|title=Kingzone Acquires and Rebrands Longzhu Gaming|date=8 January 2018|website=The Esports Observer|language=en-US|access-date=24 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/3926/kingzone-takes-over-longzhu-gaming|title=League of Legends: Kingzone Takes Over Longzhu Gaming|website=invenglobal.com|language=en|access-date=24 July 2019}}</ref>

In October 2019, Kingzone parted ways with its LoL division, which continued competing as ''DragonX'' and was later rebranded as abbreviated name ''DRX''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sports.news.naver.com/esports/news/read.nhn?oid=442&aid=0000107195|title=킹존 드래곤X, '드래곤X'로 새로운 출발...FEG로부터 독립|website=sports.news.naver.com|language=ko|access-date=10 October 2019}}</ref>
