Early Life[edit]
gBa was born in the city of São Paulo on January 21, 2005. He is of Croatian, Italian and Portuguese descent on his mother's side.
At the age of ten, through his cousin, he had his first contact with the game that would later become professional.
Since then, he liked the game and started training every day, fitting CS: GO into his daily routine, dividing his time between school and the game.
Career[edit]
Brazilian former professional CS: GO player gBa had his first “team” called Zonia, in which he created and brought together four more friends to play online championships.
gBa called the team Zonia, in honor of Amazonia (Amazon Rainforest, located in Brazil), because at the time (August 2019), there was a massive fire in the forest, and the smoke from the fire could be seen throughout the country.
gBa’s objective was to win championships with big prizes to carry out campaigns to combat deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.
Zonia won two amateur championships in 2020, and, unfortunately, the players distanced themselves and didn’t participate in any championships again.
From 2021 until November 2022, gBa participated in 1v1 (one-on-one) tournaments on the Challengermode platform.
Since December 2022, gBa had been without a team. His main focus was to find a new team to join and compete in championships. While seeking this opportunity, he continued to dedicate himself intensely to training, aiming to improve his skills and prepare for future competitions.
According to a post on gBa’s Instagram Story on April 7, 2024, he shared a delicate situation related to his Steam account. He revealed that his account was temporarily blocked for security reasons due to suspicions of unauthorized access. After several attempts to contact the platform’s support, gBa expressed frustration with the lack of effective response, highlighting the inadequacy of the service provided. In his own words, he described the experience as “terrible support”. Furthermore, he announced his decision to completely distance himself from Steam and Counter-Strike as a direct consequence of this incident. During this setback, he left an intriguing hint by mentioning a “Big announcement coming soon”, leaving his followers eager for more details about his next career move.
Repercussion[edit]
He was on the list of the best 1v1 players in the world on the Challengermode platform, having reached 30th place with over 300 tournaments won.
