COMPETITIVE GAMING'S POSTER CHILD HEADLINES E FOR ALL
(Posted 2007-07-09 20:08:11 by basscomm)

Typically, every time I see an article about Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, I
blow right by it. It's not that I don't respect the fact that he's made a
living playing games competitively. Nor is it that I can't appreciate that
he's put his name on some ridiculously overpriced signature gaming
peripherals. It's not even because he puts that silly '1' into his name,
though I usually like to pronounce it as a '1' other than a 'i',
"Fatal-one-ty".

No, I typically don't read articles about him because while so much press
has been given to him letting me know that he's the 'most best game
competitive game player ever', I don't remember hearing about any other
professional gamers. This either means that they aren't press-friendly or
that they're not consistently skilled enough to be in the upper echelon  of
game players. Reading about professional gamers is great and all, but from
all the press I read, there's Mr. Wendel, and dozens of his faceless
opponents. Lame.

That being said, it seems that Mr. Wendel is going to presenting a keynote
speech called "Competitive Gaming - From Basement to Big Time." Though how
he's going to find time to write a keynote between pwning n00bs, cutting
endorsement deals, and going on a national tour.
