Bio

The Origin Story

Thomas 'ZooMaa' Paparatto began his journey in the competitive Call of Duty scene as a standout Search & Destroy star on GameBattles. Known for his aggressive playstyle and 'flanking' maneuvers, he quickly transitioned from online tournaments to the professional stage during the Ghosts season. His breakout performance came with Denial Esports, where he secured his first major LAN victory at UMG Dallas 2014, establishing himself as a top-tier SMG player and a rising force in the industry.

Rise to Fame

ZooMaa's career reached its zenith during his long-term tenure with FaZe Clan, where he earned the nickname 'The Italian Stallion.' As the face of the organization's professional roster for years, he achieved numerous championships, including a historic MVP performance at the 2018 CWL Pro League Stage 1. His ability to turn the tide of a match with high-impact plays made him one of the most feared and respected competitors in Call of Duty history, eventually leading him to join the New York Subliners for the inaugural CDL season.

Legacy and Current Influence

After a recurring thumb injury forced his retirement from professional play in early 2021, ZooMaa pivoted to content creation, launching 'The Flank.' The show quickly evolved into the premier Call of Duty community podcast, providing raw analysis and 'Rostermania' leaks that shape the scene's discourse. Today, he is a central figure in the FaZe Clan reboot and an owner of the Stallions challenger team, maintaining his role as the influential 'voice' of the competitive Call of Duty community.
