Yahoo does a complete write up/video interview with Fatal1ty. They also claim that he's the Tiger Woods of the competitive gaming industry.

Interesting article but I think a bit off the mark.

I personally think that Fatality was the right person at the right time. If any one of us had the opportunity at 18-19 years old to make 150K in one year playing competitively, I'm sure we would have changed our career path and spent 8 hours a day playing and preparing.

Hell If I knew I could have played competitively and made 50K a year I would have done it in a heartbeat.

So because his parents didn't kick his ass for playing games all the time he is the Tiger Woods...LOL... there are much better gamers than him...how about "thresh" the guy that beat Ramiro for the Ferrari at the 1st quake-con.....

I agree the only visible corporate "whore" in gaming is more like it.

Thresh!

That guys was amazing, I remember hearing that he had won the Ferrari and being so pissed that I didn't go..

Their were 3 of us working together and we were on the fence about going. None of us were really capable of going financially but we did consider driving..

Anyway I got nostalgic and pulled out this
