Brief Introduction

I've been playing FPS since 99, played Unreal1 in the very end of it and started few months after Unreal Tournament release, back then I was too young to compete and to notice that I could actually achieve something in gaming, since UT2004 came out I had a different thought and I kept practicing with the aim to be good, looking at the previous steps of neutro, my motivation kept growing as I was improving. I won my first major event in 2004, which was the WCG2004 portuguese qualifier that led me to the World Cyber Games Finals in San Francisco, USA. Since then I've been playing in gaming events all over the world for the past few years.
