full post: http://www.nag.co.za/community/index.php?topic=3006.0Fatal1ty, the number one gamer in the world will soon be jetting into South Africa to make his fighting presence felt at the rAge expo taking place at Northgate’s Coca Cola Dome from the 30th of September to the 2nd of October 2005.
Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel is among a rapidly growing group of internationally acclaimed electronic sports champions known as Cyberathletes. Like any professional athlete, these Cyberathletes train hard and compete in big money competitions to earn their keep. In fact, Fatla1ty’s visit to our shores is a stopover on his way to China where he will be competing in one leg of the year long CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) World Tour, the total winnings of which comes in at an impressive $ 400 000.00. Each leg of the CPL World Tour – of which there are eight – boasts a purse of $ 50 000.00.
The exciting news for local gamers and anyone even vaguely interested in the booming future of Electronic Sports, is that Fatal1ty will be at rAge to challenge any South African brave enough to a one-on-one with the best, in a traditional Fatal1ty Shootout. If the sporting gods are with us, the first person to beat Fatal1ty in a ‘duel to the death’, will win R 20 000, courtesy of NAG (New Age Gaming) Magazine. The game of Falat1ty's choice is the action packed award winning Painkiller.
