Fatal1ty Announcement and Podcast Interview

Imagine you're a good basketball player - maybe even great. Now, imagine how cool it would be if you could attend an event where Michael Jordan would be available to play you one-on-one and teach you some moves.

Having Johnathan Fatal1ty Wendel available to play attendees in Quake 4 at E for All is precisely the gaming equivalent to that Michael Jordan fantasy. He earns $500,000 a year in gaming winnings alone, and has been crowned World Champion in five different games.

For years, Fatal1ty has been a top attraction at E3, giving attendees a chance to win money if they can just score a single kill against him on the show floor. At E for All, the show is open to everyone, so Fatal1ty hopes to see some serious gamer competion show up and give him a run for his money. Having personally watched him obliterate even the most cocky gamers at E3, I'm looking forward to seeing him against the E for All audience. Even if you simply watch, you can't help but pick up tips and tricks to make you a better gamer.
