Matt Leto always knew he was better at Halo than his friends, but he was as surprised as anyone when he suddenly started winning tournament after tournament. Now, under the gamer alias Zyos, he’s the number-one Halo player in the United States. And this week, at the 2004 World Cyber Games in San Francisco, he’s preparing to take his game to the world stage.

Leto, 20, made his way to the WCG Finals from Allen, Texas, right outside the unofficial hometown of first-person shooters, Dallas. His parents, sister, and brother are all flying in to cheer him on when his matches start Friday. “They’ve always been supportive” of his competitive gaming career, he says. And it’s a big commitment. “It interferes a lot with college,” admits Leto, a student at Collin County Community College near Dallas. “I had to take this semester off to just focus on these tournaments.”
