Lil Poison May Be 9, But He'll kick Your Butt 8 Ways To Sunday...

...in Halo CE, Halo 2, and now Halo 3 (& Guitar Hero, too, if you're not careful).

He was born Victor Leon III, but he's better known in the gaming community as Lil Poison. Lil started competing at the age of 4 years old at a local New York Halo Tournament. LiL Poison's earliest National Tournament achievement was at the age of 5 years old, he placed top 64 in MLG's first National events for Halo CE.

At the age of 9 years old LiL Poison competed in a 1vs1 Boost Mobile Challenge and qualified for the Championships in Las Vegas. He entered the event seated 1st place out of over 3500 gamers. He placed 3rd place overall.

Geez, when I was 9, I'm not sure I even knew where I lived or how to open a new carton of milk, but Lil Poison is one of those brilliant kids who might otherwise be completing his first medical degree at Harvard by 10. Wonder how long it would take him to unlock an iPhone?

He's awesome! My sis played him one time in Halo 3. She was in the lead but then he caught up and owned her. Pretty nice kid.
