A South Korean brokerage firm now has its name on one of the most recognizable Valorant rosters in the world. And that roster just started its season with a statement.
KIWOOM DRX defeated Japan’s DetonatioN FocusMe 2-1 on July 17 in their VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 2 Group Omega opener, kicking off the second stage of the Valorant Champions Tour with a best-of-three victory.
Why a brokerage firm is sponsoring a Valorant team
The “KIWOOM” in KIWOOM DRX isn’t a gaming brand or an energy drink. It’s Kiwoom Securities, one of South Korea’s established brokerage firms. The company secured naming rights for the DRX roster during the 2026 season, rebranding the squad from plain “DRX” to its current form.
