Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng

I graduated from the Stanford Graduate School of Business this weekend! Coming here was a dream come true. A huge thank you to my family, who sacrificed so much to immigrate to America to give me these opportunities, and to you - Pokémon changed my life and is why I’m here 💙

I'M RUNNING THE NYC MARATHON IN 5 DAYS 😱😱 We've raised ~$6,500 out of my $8,000 goal to fund life-changing educational opportunities for tomorrow's leaders. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed so far! Help me get over the finish line:

I’m running my first ever marathon next Sunday & am fundraising for a non-profit that changed my life in so many ways. I’d love your support to close the education gap and help build the next generation of leaders 💙

TEAM LIQUID!!!!!!!!!!!!

RT @OmgItsBarry_: Some Pokemon thumbnails I made from last month! There was a lot of experimenting this time around 🎨

RT @dylanis_chilln: I’ve watched @CybertronVGC since I was in middle school and I never would’ve imagined that a team I helped make would appear on his channel! Highly recommend giving this a watch if you’re curious, Aaron explained and piloted the team incredibly as always!

RT @HitTheCritty: I missed my flight lol, so I FINISHED IN 13TH PLACE AT THE BALTIMORE 2027 REGIONAL! (Thread + Team Report) Can I start by saying, this run went FARRR beyond expectation. I strongly dislike the pressure of first-of-format majors and the short prep window felt insane. Though I have folks I’ll occasionally bounce ideas off of, I ultimately do solo builds and craft in a way that fits my brain chemistry. Regardless, this was unironically the least confident I’d EVER gone into a regional. Ask my group, they’ll tell you all I did was whine about M-C and how I couldn’t foresee a deep run. Let’s talk about it (1/🧵)

RT @JoeUX9: So emotional right now but I WON BALTIMORE!!!

VGC wouldn’t be what it is today without these guys!

In 2012 we organized tournaments where people propped phones up to stream their DS screens to Ustream while I sat in a mumble call with these two to restream to Twitch asking them to F5 because we were unsynced. Sunday, we broadcast from the Chase Center closed out by Ed Sheeran.
