gav, formerly known as Nova, is an American smasher from Atlanta. He began playing on Kaillera in 2009 when he was completely new to the game, but over time he learned and improved greatly. He is not a very technical player but makes up with his good spacing and the ability to read his opponent well. He is currently ranked 2nd on the Georgia Power Rankings.
