Lakia leaves DRX

South Korean esports organization DRX has announced changes to the VALORANT starting lineup, sending Lakia to the bench. The decision was reportedly made by both parties. The 21-year-old Korean esportsman has played for the team since July 2021, playing only eight cards for the main squad.

Lakia entered the professional scene in mid-2020, joining Vision Strikers. However, ten days later, the player went to PROPARTY, where he played out until the end of the season, taking 5th-8th place in First Strike Korea.

Already in the new year, the 21-year-old Korean esportsman joined NUTURN Gaming, with which he won the DouYu Bie Zhuang Cup Winter and VCT 2021: Korea Stage 2 Challengers, and also took third place in the VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík.

In the summer, Lakia rejoined Vision Strikers. However, the player rarely appeared at the start, which still did not prevent him from winning VCT 2021: Korea Stage 3 Challengers and VCT 2021: Korea Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, as well as performing in VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin and VALORANT Champions 2021.

Recall that at the beginning of 2022, the DRX organization bought out the rights to Vision Strikers, after which the entire composition of the South Korean team moved under a new wing.

From now on, the DRX roster is as follows:

• stax.
• Rb.
• Zest.
• BuZz.
• MaKo.
• termi, Argency and glow (coaching staff).
