Nuton

Nuton, also known as Nuturn, is a South Korean company primarily operating as an esports content studio and managing professional gaming teams. The company gained significant recognition for its Valorant team, Nuturn Gaming, which represented Korea and placed third in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Stage 2 Masters in Reykjavik, Iceland, in May 2021.

The name 'Nuturn' is derived from 'new turn,' and its logo pays homage to the Kiev-based esports club Natus Vincere (Na'Vi). The company was co-founded by COO Lee Uk, a 13-year veteran of the esports industry with previous managerial roles at Conbox and KSV Esports (now Gen.G Esports). The formation of the esports division was a collaborative effort with esports legend Kang "solo" Keun-chul.

As a content studio, Nuton was selected as the main content vendor for Blizzard Entertainment Korea for 2021 and undertakes various projects for other clients, mainly within the esports field. The business operates out of an office in Songpa District, eastern Seoul, housing video editors and designers. The gaming team, Nuturn Gaming, was formed on January 1, 2021, and officially disbanded on December 9, 2021, after a series of player departures and retirements.
