Fatal1ty in Challenge at Taipei 101 (239 comments)

( Major News: PK)

Posted by TUMULT @ 09:57 CDT, 1 June 2013 - iMsg

Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, with a record 12 World Titles, contested in an unprecedented 5 different games is undoubtedly the world’s most successful video gamer in history. However, in recent years Fatal1y has declined to compete professionally. Instead he has focused on promoting video gaming globally via his anointed role as Gaming Ambassador, while concentrating on his Fatal1ty Gaming Gear enterprise.

But times change, and now, “Fatal1ty” has been challenged to a special Painkiller 1v1 competition by his former sparring partner

Kyle “relic” Mims. relic has called Fatal1ty out, and at stake is much more than personal pride and bragging rights – OCZ has stepped up and committed a prize of NT$300,000 (USA $10,000) to relic … if he is victorious.

Johnathan Wendel often likes to state that “FATAL1TY MEANS GAMING.” With that said, Fatal1ty has answered the challenge, and will take on relicat Taiwan’s landmark

Taipei 101 building on Thursday, June 6, 2013. In his first professional match of consequence since 2007, will Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel be ready to live up to his title as the greatest gamer in history? And obliterate relic? -OR- will relic be able to do it again? And beat Fatal1ty? … And take home a prize of NT$300,0000.
