Kiwoom DRX lost the last two outings, but are billed as firm favourites to get their revenge on Friday. This comes as no surprise, considering DN SOOPer’s downfall and Kiwoom DRX’s impressive improvement over the last few weeks.
Despite the early struggles, KRX have shown better performances, mainly in the early game, and they’ve displayed much stronger decision-making and overall a more disciplined approach to their games.
While not among the top contenders, KRX are trending up and should be able to handle the struggling DN SOOPers, who’ve shown nothing inspiring over the last month.

DN SOOPer Out of Playoff Race
DN SOOPers are 1-13 this split and guaranteed to end LCK Rounds 1-2 in the bottom four. They’re now on a 13-game losing streak, having failed to find any momentum of late. At this point, it is fair to say that this is a dead team, ready for a major roster overhaul before the next split.
Not only have the DNS lost 13 games in a row, but they’ve also lost 26 consecutive maps, which might also be the longest losing streak in the history of major leagues. And the worst part -not many of those losses were close.
Last week, DNS lost to Dplus KIA and HAJIN BRION. Neither game was close, granted DN SOOPers showed some signs of life against DK. All that means very little.

Kiwoom DRX Continue to Improve
Kiwoom DRX have been rapidly improving this split. While they are 4-11 and 1-4 from their last five, KRX defeated HAJIN BRION last week, and they even took a map off T1 on Wednesday.
Recently, Kiwoom DRX have taken maps off Hanwha Life Esports, T1, and Gen.G, which is seriously impressive for their standards. And they even managed to do that while playing offside.
Even though KRX are not among the top contenders to win the league, they are definitely improving and a team who deserve respect.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 20 | LCK 2026 | T1 | 1-2 (L) |
| May 17 | LCK 2026 | HAJIN BRION | 2-1 (W) |
| May 14 | LCK 2026 | KT Rolster | 1-2 (L) |
| May 10 | LCK 2026 | Hanwha Life Esports | 1-2 (L) |
| May 7 | LCK 2026 | Gen.G | 0-2 (L) |
Kiwoom DRX Squad & Team News

Verdict
Kiwoom DRX have been improving, and they have even been finding good games against strong teams. Taking maps off T1, HLE, and Gen.G is no small feat, and if we add their victory against HAJIN BRION, it is fair to say that KRX have something going for them.
The same can’t be said about DN SOOPers who are free-falling, having now lost 26 straight maps. There’s nothing about this team that would inspire confidence, even though they will have side choice on Friday.
