Playstyle[edit]

Neuro tends to play solid, macro-oriented styles off of a Hatch/Gas/Pool build in every matchup. He started using TheCore hotkey layout by JaKaTaK in early 2015 and often tries to create advantages with multi-pronged harassment and rapid expanding. The Overseer's Contaminate ability and Nydus Network usage are among his signature tactics.

In November 2015, he was signed by Exile5. He left Exile5 in August of 2016 and joined ROOT Gaming in September 2016 as a streamer, content creator and coach.
