Name: Sander Kaasjager
Alias: Vo0
Age: 19
Location: Netherlands
Team: fnatic
Game: Painkiller
Bio: Vo0 was a surprise to the community when he burst onto the scene. He began gaming as a Quake 2 player where he has some success and then moved to Quake 3 where he was played rather well but still wasn’t known as a top player. Then he moved to Painkiller and has absolutely dominated. Vo0 has entered 11 tournaments and hasn’t lost yet. He is without question the player to beat in the scene right now but he is playing as strong as ever.
