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.[3][4]
Longzhu Gaming was acquired by Chinese esports organization Kingzone in January 2018, and was rebranded as Kingzone DragonX (abbreviated as KZ).[5][6]
In October 2019, Kingzone parted ways with its LoL division, which continued competing as DragonX and was later rebranded as abbreviated name DRX.[7]
