Short Competitive History

In the past, solo was a competitive CSGO player from Korea who played in several famous rosters during the 1.6 era. More recently, he transitioned to VALORANT and competed in VCT KR under the banner of NUTURN for the past year. With the team, he claimed 2nd place in Masters 1, 1st in Stage 2 Challengers and 3rd in Masters Reykjavik. After which, the team petered off. They were unable to replicate their success in the first part of the year and fell in Stage 3, forcing them to miss out on Masters Berlin. The team then competed in the APAC LCQ where they failed to earn the last slot to Champions.

DAMWON Kia’s current VALORANT roster consists of:

• Kim “Eugene” Su-yeong
• Kim “t3xture” Na-ra
• Lee “Jeong Hi” Jeong-ha
• Kim “Secret” Ha-jin
