Short Bio
Tell us about yourself?
My name is Saverio, I’m 20 years old, I’m the team captain of Italy and I’m known on Xbox Live, Twitch and Twitter as Savieer.
What made you want to start competing in Halo?
Back in 2015 I’ve started my competitive Halo journey with Halo 5. I was so motivated and interested in seeing all the pro players competing in major events and cups that I’ve decided to start. I’ve attended several cups and leagues in both Italy and Europe and finally, back in 2018, I’ve attended my first LAN event as well (HCS London 2018).
Nations Cup
How does it feel to be representing a nation in a Halo tournament?
Representing Italy is a big honor for me (probably one of the biggest for sure), so I’m very excited to see how me and my team will perform in this tournament!
Teams were announced on Twitter a week before the tournament. Do you feel your team has had adequate time to prepare?
I fell my team has an adequate time to get ready for this tournament. We are all consistent players and we know how each other play in a very good way!
What is the biggest challenge you see ahead of you in this tournament?
The biggest challenge I see ahead of us in this tournament is for sure the Germany lineup. They have a very strong team and I feel it’s gonna be a very hard series for us if we will play against them in the tournament!
Who are you most excited to play against and why?
I’m most excited to play against the Netherlands first team because I know all of them. We are good friends and I want to see how me and my team will perform against them!
Who on your team is grabbing the Sniper? Rockets?
I think I will mostly play for the sniper. We don’t have an accurate organisation about who is going to take the power weapons in the map! I’m sure Mastro will play for rockets most of the times if we play maps with both rockets and sniper.
Who is your playmaker?
Our playmaker is going to be Mastro. This guy knows how to flank and to play obj by saving the team in certain situations very well. I’m going to expect some good plays from him!
Final Slayer Game is tied 49-49, What is the play?
Patience and keep the focus on, trying to pay attention about every single movement, grabbing the last sniper rifle, rocket or powerup remaining, and try to flank and distract the enemy until the powerup/power weapon player makes the final play to bring us the victory!
What would it mean to win the Nations Cup to you and your team?
For us, winning the Nations Cup means a lot. It means especially the fact that Italy is present in Europe and we have many talented players to offer that many people will notice about for the future events and tournaments!

If HCS Pro Talk were to visit your home country, where is one place we’d have to eat?
Ristorante Cracco situated in Milan
What is one thing you need to have in Halo Infinite?
I hope we have thruster pack for Halo Infinite because Halo must have advanced movement from now on since it takes a lot of skill to be used!
