About N0vaW0LF

Been playing StarCraft since the Nintendo 64 era.

Former amateur Pro-Gaming Tour (PGT), World Cyber Games (WCG), and World Gaming Tour (WGT) player during my teen years.

Use the Wayback Machine to verify all of this, by what was once my username: c)C-KaGe.0ni (the leader of Clan Chimera).

At one point, I was ranked #2 on USEAST and had a B- international ranking in the PGT.

Then, I took nearly twenty years off to join the military, travel the world, build a family, and multiple family businesses before coming back...forging my own way by being the founder of this new league.

My race? Heh...with my personality and playing style? I should be a Protoss, but I play Zerg because, like my own life, I like being behind...

...until I am not.
