A Zerg player by heart, viOLet was a member of the original Starcraft 2 team anonunced by Dutch professional gaming team and organization Serious Gaming. Although presented as apart of the team, he was inactive due to finishing up his prestigious career in the Warcraft 3:Frozen Throne scene, more well-known in that era as an Orc player much like Grubby was. He was born December 5th, 1990 and is now a professional Starcraft 2 player who plays for Team Empire, but things never were easy for the champion of the game that we look at as someone that has had the easy road his whole life in professional gaming.
During his stay at SK-Gaming while active in the WC3 scene, viOLet's house was burnt to the ground; as a result, his father was ill from the smoke and viOLet had to rescue his father from injuries that could have been much worse, forcing viOLet to fall ill and eventually retire from the professional gaming scene permanently until the release of Starcraft 2 came about. There's much more to this man's life story, but regarding his Starcraft 2 career, he was taken in by Andrew Tomlinson -- Founder/CEO of CyberSportsNetwork, after being let off by Team AZK after IPL3 in 2011; since then, he's been living with Andrew in Austin, TX and strives to become a legal United States citizen in the near future so he can live here permanently. I've done my best to expose his career and story through the website I work for, Cadred, and have various interviews and articles about viOLet which you can find in the "Interviews" tab of this fan club page. viOLet is one of very few players to hold Rank 1 GM on both the EU and NA server at the same time among many other feats of skill.
He's famous for his unique Zerg strategies that don't go by textbook rules, and his various drops and nydus worm plays that have won him his fan's hearts, but most of all it's his personality and his hospitality towards anyone he comes across that really is the reason so many newcomers and veterans of the professional gaming scene have come to love this guy. viOLet currently plays for Team Empire, a Russian gaming organization known for their other star player Kas.
