1. Fatal1ty...The First of His Kind
Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel is the most accomplished, professional PC Gamer in history and is the
breakthrough name and face of the sport. As the world’s most famous PC gamer he spreads interest in
PC gaming wherever he goes and, in the process, has become the sport’s worldwide ambassador.
Wendel wants PC gaming to be considered a true sport and considers himself an “E-Sportsman”. Like any
other professional athlete, he trains for hours a day and analyzes his performances by watching videos of
himself in action-all with the goal of being the best in the world.
Fatal1ty is a naturally gifted athlete who competed in many sports including tennis, golf, and football before
devoting his full time efforts to gaming. He still uses physical training to maintain and hone his natural gifts
of quick reflexes and lightning fast hand/eye coordination. Johnathan Wendel also excelled in school, gaining
a 3.4 average in 2 years of college, from which he withdrew as his gaming career took off. Fatal1ty wants
to communicate the picture of a well-rounded, articulate, 25 year old in order to change the negative image
of the typical PC gamer as a desensitized geek who only spends time in front of a computer monitor.
No one has ever come close to the earnings, titles, and media coverage of Fatal1ty. His record of success
speaks for itself. He presently reigns as the only 5 time World Champion, winning each title in a different game,
a feat never before accomplished. Wendel started professional gaming in 1999 by entering the CPL
(Cyberathlete Professional League) tournament in Dallas and won $4,000 for placing third. Emerging as
one of the top players in the United States, he then flew to Sweden where he competed in a tournament
against the top 12 players in the world. By winning 18 straight games and losing none he took first place,
becoming the number one ranked Quake III player in the world. Two months later he followed that success
in Dallas by successfully defending his title as the world’s best Quake III player and winning the $40,000 grand
prize. Since then Fatal1ty has traveled the globe to compete against the best in the world, winning prizes and
acclaim, including the 2005 CPL World Tour Championship in New York City for a $150,000 first place finish.
From the time Fatal1ty began to realize success he has preached a doctrine of “giving back to gaming”
and has convinced his business partners to do the same as part of their overall goal to position gaming in a
positive light. As part of this quest he has organized events that have given away a great deal of money and
prizes, including an exhibition held at The Great Wall of China for a prize of $125,000 to selected challengers
who could beat him. The relationship that has been built between him and his business partners, combined
with the sales of his own branded products, provides the capital and human resources needed to pull off
these types of attention getting promotions.
