Fatty January 23, 2006 Share Fatty GC Founder January 23, 2006 Was just walking through the living room and I heard the narrator on 60 minutes previewing the night's stories. All I heard was: "They call themselves cyberatheletes." I saw what might have looked like a celebration after a LAN victory. Tune in if you're interested. Problem is that the second NFL game has started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC January 23, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member January 23, 2006 It's about the guy named Fatal1ty <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's supposedly the #1 gamer in the world. How does anyone know if their the #1 gamer in the world? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's the self-proclaimed number 1 player in the world. I hate it when people say they are the best at something or number #1 at anything. There is ALWAYS someone out there that can do something better than someone else can.

And, he was very humble when they point blank asked him if he was the best. Seemed like a real nice kid. I saw NOTHING self-proclaimed about it...he has the victories that talk for him.

Pestilence January 23, 2006 Share Pestilence Member January 23, 2006 (edited) I've seen a program on him before, but I can't remember what program it was on. Also I've seen a few more of these where people travel around to Lan tourney's and win money for winning the tourny. They even have some underground matches and such. They all get together and practice against each other and bet money and stuff. Real interesting stuff. They followed a girl gamer around too and her clan was competing in a Counter-Strike tourny. I think they ended up beating a girl clan from Japan. One of the guys had a contract and sponsors and such. Another one was trying to win money to pay for college.

Demoner January 23, 2006 Share Demoner Member January 23, 2006 i watched that 60 minutes about him. he sounded humble and he didnt even call himself the best. from the way the show discribed him he is the best at whatever those 5 games he took the world tourney in.

Pestilence January 23, 2006 Share Pestilence Member January 23, 2006 (edited) If I remember right, i'm sure one of the games was unreal tourny. Don't know which one.

TeK January 23, 2006 Share TeK Member January 23, 2006 (edited) voodoo, hes been playing FPS games since back when CPL had just started and quake 3 was the popular game. He's been playing games now for about 5-6 years and making a living doing so. Has computer products out branded by him(Motherboars and sound card come to mind). Makes a full time salary playing. Made over $232,000 last year in CPL tournaments alone(Not including salary and money paid for his computer products). As far as online, video-gaming I feel he is #1 in the US. Other people may think differently. World is a different level. Its tough when you want to judge who the #1 person is when you have a team game like CS where any team can win any time. It's also 5 players. How can you judge whose the #1 gamer in the world, in 2003 I would have said SK.swe since they won every major tournament that year. But since then times have a changed and things are different. I had the chance to travel to China last year and was able to meet him and speak to him on a down to earth basis. He's a very nice guy and you can joke around with him a lot. Didn't seem full of himself or too big that your not on his level. It's personal opinion , and btw hi everyone who haven't spoke to in a long time :x . Edited January 23, 2006 by TeK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa January 23, 2006 Share Playaa Member January 23, 2006 http://www.fatal1ty.com/mystory/ he is definatly the number 1 FPS (single) player in the world. He may not always win but he has been the most dominant for the longest amount of time. As for how good he is...well his skill comes from his consistency, not his amazing strats. He is one of those guys that can keep track in his head of when armor and weapons will spawn based on time limits. The kind that can pick out the sound of armor being picked up from across a map and figure out which armor it is because he knows when each one will spawn next. I've seen him play Quake 3 against some of the best players I have ever seen and embarass them. He practices for his current game 8+ hours a day and pays to bring the best players in the world to his house to practice against them. So in all, there may be players out there that can beat him at any given time...but he is without a doubt the number 1 professional video gamer in the world.
