Short Bio
Tell us about yourself?
I'm the manager of Halo España. I started a year ago with my Instagram account, uploading Halo content to share with fans. What I didn't expect was such a big growth in such a short time, since in Spain I had never seen a big Halo community. But little by little we are building a very nice and active community. We already have accounts in all the networks, Discord and competitive section with our Tercio Spartan team. We want to introduce us to the competitive theme too and that is why we want to thank Europa Halo for the opportunity to participate. The contact with them has been excellent and is to be thanked.
What made you want to start competing in Halo?
Since people began to enter our community with a desire to participate in tournaments, we wanted to form a team. What we did was take our Spartan Company and make it a competitive team. We think it's a good way to motivate people to play Halo and have fun competing against other people.
Nations Cup
How does it feel to be representing a nation in a Halo tournament?
It's something I've always wanted to do, to be able to play Halo tournaments but if it's also representing your country it's something that motivates a lot more.
Teams were announced on Twitter a week before the tournament. Do you feel your team has had adequate time to prepare?
Well, keeping in mind that matching up with players is not always easy since everyone has personal things to do, perhaps it would have been more appropriate to know with more time. We personally haven't practiced much but we will give our all to leave our community and our country high.
What is the biggest challenge you see ahead of you in this tournament?
I would say that realizing my level of ability to face other people in a tournament I want to see what I'm capable of, because I've been playing Halo all my life but I've never been serious about the competitive one.
Who are you most excited to play against and why?
I don't care who I'm up against but maybe meeting a Spanish team would be interesting.
Who on your team is grabbing the Sniper? Rockets?
En mi equipo el Virus T9
Who is your playmaker?
Aitor117 (Me)
Final Slayer Game is tied 49-49, What is the play?
Retract and all together
What would it mean to win the Nations Cup to you and your team?
It would not only be great for our community but also for ourselves. Knowing that we can compete and win would give us a lot of motivation to keep going.

What is one thing you need to have in Halo Infinite?
A good story, as we've been used to by Halo. May it make us want to play it over and over again without boredom.
