KINGZONE DragonX Sign Deft, PawN, and TusiN
By Zac Cameron ·
KINGZONE have bounced back from their earlier roster losses, signing three talented players for their 2019 season.
KINGZONE DragonX have made their first big announcement of the off-season that doesn’t revolve around a player leaving the roster. Announcing their complete team along with their acquisitions, KINGZONE have managed to sign three top stars to replace their dwindling team, with mid laner Heo “PawN” Won-seok, AD carry Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu, and support Park “TusiN” Jong-ik all joining the team.
안녕하세요 킹존 드래곤X입니다.

Both PawN and Deft are heading to KINGZONE after playing for KT Rolster for the past two seasons. After injury forced him to the bench, PawN must be eager to once again take to summoners rift with his longtime team mate and cause havoc in the mid lane. Meanwhile, TusiN comes to the roster after a long time with the Afreeca Freecs, where he garnered popularity with his flashy engages and solid team fighting decisions.
PawN, Deft and TusiN will join top laner Kim “Rascal” Kwang-hee, and jungler Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan, the two remaining players from the 2018 KINGZONE roster. It is still unclear at this time whether KINGZONE plan to field a larger roster, like SKT, or if they plan on just having the five-man roster for now. KINGZONE had a pretty interesting season this year, dominating the LCK Spring Split to earn a spot at the Mid-Season Invitational, before slumping hard in Summer which saw them fall in the rankings before ultimately failing to qualify for the World Championships. For now, fans will just be happy to see PawN and Deft together again, even if they will be missing longtime third member of their mini squad, Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong.
