Story
Before N4NO
A life built around controllers, competition and family.
Hey everyone. My name is Danillo, but my family has called me Nano since I was a kid. That's where the name N4NO came from. Video games were always part of my home: my grandfather owned a rental store and my father owned — and still owns — a games shop.

The person behind the player
01
It started on the PS2
I started playing online at 6, on the PlayStation 2, in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. Soon after I discovered Call of Duty with the first Modern Warfare, in 2007, and never stopped.
02
The first real sign
At 12, in 2011, I won my first LAN Call of Duty tournament, played on Modern Warfare 3. The prize was a Turtle Beach headset. More important than the prize, that title showed me competing could be far more than a hobby.
03
Competing before Warzone
Before Warzone I went through GameBattles, Major League Gaming and wager matches in titles like MW3, Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3. Competition was always there, even before there was a structured career around it.
04
Life before content
Before making a living from games, I worked at an internet provider as part of the NOC. The routine was completely different, but discipline, analysis and pressure were already part of my day.
05
The turning point in 2020
When Warzone launched, I saw a real chance to turn it into a profession. After six months playing on console, I bought a PC and started streaming. I began winning amateur tournaments, taking MVPs and gaining visibility. Within months I reached an official Activision tournament and was one of the standout players.
06
The trophy that means more than the result.
In the 2nd edition of Tribo Series, hosted by Gaules, I was champion and MVP playing alongside my father and my wife. Out of all the titles, that's the one that represents my story the most, because it brought together competition, family and everything that got me here.
07
The world stage
Two World Series of Warzone qualifications. In 2024 the spot came through the WSOW LATAM South Final Qualifier. In 2025 it came through the WSOW NA LCQ, followed by a bootcamp in the United States alongside Tabeykz and Erick — weeks of intense practice against some of the best teams in the world, ending in a world Top 11 finish.
08
A sabbatical year
After years living the competitive routine without a break, in 2026 I decided to slow down and turn the period into a sabbatical year from the circuit. I stayed present in Warzone, in the streams and in content creation, but without the same tournament schedule, stepping away from the regular competitive circuit. It was a chance to take care of other areas of life, create new projects and prepare the next chapter. The will to compete is still there. My goal is still to reach a Top 3 or Top 5 at a world championship.

Behind the scenes
The international road
What the crown means
The crown wasn't born only as a visual element. It stands for a journey built on titles, MVPs, consistency and a permanent pursuit of the top. It's the mark of someone who conquered Brazil and now wants to go even further in the world.
