avilo has been a long time gamer starting playing games when he was five. When he discovered StarCraft: Brood War, he found it struck a chord with his competitive nature and he continued to play both Brood War and Command and Conquer throughout college. Avilo received a beta invite and started playing StarCraft II in beta. He was one of the first in line to purchase Wings of Liberty upon its release. Avilo was inspired by SlayerSBoxeR and he enjoys defensive macro games and creating innovative strategies. These innovative strategies often include the use of nukes (40 plus nukes at 2011's MLG was noted as a highlight of the tournament[1]). Throughout college avilo played as much as possible to have the chance at becoming a progamer once he was finished with college, which he successfully completed, receiving his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science late 2011. After receiving his Bachelor's avilo has been focusing on realizing his dream and is now ranked in the top 100 on the North American server. He can be found on his stream.
avilo joined VT Gaming on April 13, 2011 along with MrBitter where he stayed until VT Gaming disbanded on July 8. After a few months avilo found a new home with Team Legion.
Upon HoTS Beta release avilo has completely switched to playing only beta and does not play Wings Of Liberty anymore.
