Johnathan Wendel a.k.a. “Fatal1ty” renowned as
the world’s 1st professional PC Gamer in the history of cyber sports.
His remarkable skill in cyber combat speaks for him and made him a well known living
icon for his cyber gamer fans and competitors. His endeavor in his chosen
career cost him countless of hours of training in front of his pc; and even
watching videos from his previous game leagues for him to analyze and correct
the flaw he made from his previous games.
Fatal1ty or Johnathan Wendel in real life is a
natural born athlete and also competed in real life sports during his earlier
days before he put his talent into cyber gaming. Fatal1ty considered playing
real life sports that contributed an important factor that made him more
accurate and responsive in making decisions during game play.
Fatal1ty inherited some characteristics of being
agile, responsive, mentally and physically coordinated from playing live sport
like tennis by which he was the team captain of his team during his high school
years. Fatal1ty also spent two years in college before he decided to become a
full time gamer and also mentioned that if he don’t succeed in his chosen
career he’ll definitely back to campus again to pursue his full time study.
Fatal1ty’s
ambition and empathy in gaming paid off and actually work for him. Who would
ever think that gaming is only a form of creational hobby and never to become bread
and butter for all gaming enthusiasts? Well, Fatal1ty breaks the barrier and
contributed to justify gaming into much broader name called eSports or Cyber
Sports.
Fatal1ty
have had succeeded monetizing his talent or should I say “talent generated
through extensive training and dedication”; at the age of 25 Fatal1ty had won 41
professional gaming tournaments in the US and in other major countries
that made him rich over $300,000 in cash prizes. No one has come close to
Fatal1ty’s remarkable success for winning 12 world titles in 5 different game
areas from Quake III-Six World Titles 2000 / 2001, Unreal Tournament

III - Quake Con2004 World Champion 2004, Aliens Vs Predator 2 – CPL Winter
World Champion 2001, Painkiller – CPL USA, Singapore and World Tour Champion
2005.

overall success made his name Fatal1ty a decal, a signature, and a symbol for
most high-end hardware gaming components and accessories made by world class
manufacturer of computer products; that lead him for such business opportunity
and also came up with his own brand being sold worldwide.

bigger exposure worldwide through Direct TV, SkyTV, and Star; and as a
