Biography[edit]
LittleBoy initially played in various amateur and university leagues in South America. A promising offlaner, he would play for Gorillaz-Pride Blue, the developmental team of Gorillaz-Pride in Movistar LPG Promocional Season 3.
He first made a name for himself by debuting for Latam Defenders in December 2020, replacing NoName in Movistar Liga Pro Gaming Final Series. Most of the roster was then acquired by Infinity Esports ahead of the inaugural DPC season, where the qualifiers placed them into the Lower Division. Here, they would comfortably place themselves as one of the best teams in the division, finishing 6-1 and securing second place after a three-way tiebreaker between themselves, Hokori and Incubus Club. His team would also place an impressive second at Movistar Liga Pro Gaming Season 8 behind Infamous.
Despite playing an impressive array of heroes, LittleBoy and the newly-promoted Infinity Esports would struggle in the next season's Upper Division, finishing 1-6 and in the relegation places. He would then take some time off to finish his studies.[1]
In November 2021, LittleBoy returned to the professional scene with a 5th-6th placed finish with TMU in the Claro Gaming Apu League Season 2. He chose to swap regions in his return to the DPC with 5ManMidas, helping them placing mid-table in 2021-22 DPC North America Tour 1: Division II. He left the team in February 2022.
