Biography[edit]
ZooMaa initially came from a online GameBattles S&D background, commonly playing with pro players. In the latter stages of Call of Duty: Ghosts, ZooMaa proved himself as a top performer. He placed T12 with Denial at MLG Anaheim, his first LAN event with a full and practised team. After recognizing the talent, Denial's CEO released all players on Denial except ZooMaa following RosterMania. After picking up Saints, Replays, and StuDyy, they took a 1st place finish at UMG Dallas 2014 - ZooMaa's second LAN event. They followed it up with a 2nd place finish at UMG Nashville 2014. Unfortunately they did not continue their success at the final event of, MLG CoD League Season 3 Playoffs, but ZooMaa still retained his reputation of a great up-and-coming player that started to compete at the highest level of competition in a very short period of time.
Trivia[edit]
- ZooMaa was the MVP of the 2018 CWL Pro League Stage 1
- ZooMaa and his teammates joke around by calling him "Pappy".
- ZooMaa's family is from Italy so he wears the Italian flag on his jerseys.
- ZooMaa's name comes from the name of his old dog.
