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.
