Looking to play in this year’s NPA both to get a chance to play against amazing players and to get to participate in more team draft tournaments. I played in last VGC Classics as well as USPA, OPL and CVL absolutely I absolutely adored the opportunity for collaboration with teammates each week. Would love to get to play in another team tournament to hopefully get to show off my skills a bit more and enjoy the time with teammates!

I am a 17 year old boy from Mexico, I will be 18 in 2025. I started to play a little more seriously 1 year ago, although these months have been the most and best I've played even though I don't play as much as I should since I mostly do VOD Reviews of games of different professional players with whom I identify myself by the teams they play with (Balanced). I study a university degree but I know how to organize my time. I have not achieved important achievements because of money issues I have not been able to go to tournaments, but I hope that playing this will help me to improve and have a good future as a player.
