Xabier, more commonly known as "Esko" was born in "Barakaldo", Basque country, on the 26th of February of 1986. He spent his childhood playing Nintendo and developing his skills at videogames, which would eventually lead to his sucess at "Super Mario Brothers 3".

His ability with a joy stick was extraordinary. He discovered all the secret worlds and finished videogames thousands of times.
As soon as the videogame "AOE" was launched into the market, Esko spent day and night mastering it, becoming that unbeatable player during the first decade of 2000.
