After making waves in the international community following their Top 3 finish at Masters: Reykjavik, the loss of their star player Kim "Lakia" Jong-min (김종민) to the now-dominant Vision Strikers Vision Strikers Inactive stax Kim Gu-taek (김구택) Rb Goo Sang-min (구상민) Zest Kim Ki-seok (김기석) BuZz Yu Byung-chul (유병철) MaKo Kim Myeong-gwan (김명관) has severely weakened the formerly rising roster.

With the addition of 10X failing to resolve the team's significant drop in performance, NUTURN have instead turned to hyeoni, a star player in the region who notably describes himself as still an amateur.

Eyes were set on hyeoni across social media during the group stage of the Korean Stage 3 Challengers. Despite his team's relatively poor performance in the event, hyeoni consistently struck out at the top of the leaderboard, topping the event's stats at 297.7 ACS, 176.9 ADR, and even going +33 in a match against NUTURN.

NUTURN's placement in Valorant Champions later in December depends heavily on the placement of Vision Strikers in Berlin. If Vision Striker fails to reach the playoffs of Masters 3, NUTURN will qualify for Champions with the points earned from Masters 2 in Iceland.

Whether at Champions or in the Last Chance Qualifier, the roster is betting big on hyeoni's stardom and fragging power to pull the team through to another international run.

NUTURN NUTURN Inactive is now:

  • Park "allow" Sang-wook (박상욱)
  • Seo "Suggest" Jae-young (서재영)
  • Jung "peri" Bum-ki (정범기)
  • Kang "solo" Geun-chul (강근철)
  • Yoon "hyeoni" Hyun-seok
  • Jeong "Jaemin" Jae-min (정재민) (Head coach)
