Can KING-ZONE DragonX lose a map on MSI 2018?

The LCK looks to extend its dominance over international events on the backs of heavy favorite Kingzone DragonX. Every year teams and fans cling onto some sort of declaration that the gap between Korea and the world is closing, and every year they are wrong. The Korean region has won the past five World Championships and the last two Mid-Season Invitationals.

It’s right there in the team name. The Korean champs should be kings of the world at MSI, and they’re the dragon the rest of the teams will hope to slay. Not only was KING-ZONE dominate the most competitive league in League of Legends, they did it in a way that produces strong fantasy numbers.

                                                        KING-ZONE DragonX, 0.52 CKPM, 36.5 AGT, 1.9 KDA

That 1.9 KDA mark is actually insane. It’s the best total on a season in LCK history. Since 2015, only two teams have posted a better number on the season in one of the big four leagues (NA LCS, EU LCS, LCK, LPL): The undefeated 18-0 Fnatic of EU LCS Summer 2015 with a 2.16 KDA and the 17-1 Immortals in the NA LCS Spring 2016 season with a 2.09 KDA.

After a disappointing loss at the Quarterfinals of Worlds last year, the roster revamped by adding world-class jungler Peanut. Their roster features players at every single position who could stake a claim for being the best in the world at their respective roles. Translating their domestic success into international accolade, however, is something that’s generally eluded their players. This is a golden opportunity for them to stand at the top of the world.!
