Nathan "Lau" Lau is a retired British Terran player who last played for Team Infused.
Biography[edit]
Lau was a former Warcraft III player competing in many offline LAN's and qualifiers within the UK playing under the ID - "Yarakyo". He placed in the top 3 during WCG and ESWC UK qualifiers through 2004-2007 and won the 2005 qualifier, and therefore represented the United Kingdom in the world finals in France. He later quit his WC3 career, and when StarCraft II came out, he decided to give it a go.[1]
Lau graduated from University College London with a masters degree in Computer Science late 2011.
Lau has taken a step away from competitive StarCraft II and is focusing on other goals.
