\O/

I know my goal for that event was just to get revenge on ZeRo4, but I ended up doing just that, getting revenge and that was it:)

Like going to an event, but not to give 100% for the 1st spot, but to just beat a regular opponent. Doesn't sound like the good old fat to me :P

Good, looong interview and gl in France!

esr uncut interview pwnz this :>

He likes to be called the Tiger Woods of gaming.

Why because hes losing alot lately?

no, he's black :)

No.. it's because of Smu.

******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ********

rofl How are you planning to prepare yourself for this event in this game ?

********.

eveeen iiii know that ;D

i don't get it :\

PRACTIQUE!

nop, still don't get it :\

8 stars for 8 hours of practice maybe? but why? o_O

practice. = ********.

He once said something like "If you want to become good at something you have to practise, practise, practise and when you are done with that go and practise again" Since this sentence Fat + the word practise is kind of a running gag ;)

Hi voo, are you a mirror?

Nope, at least i dont think so :)

Haha, 2 with the same nick -> sooo uncool :-P

Voo from teh legacy of mob si teh only voo since he gotz teh mad rail and trix yo :O (edgepowarforevar), teh sandbox is his lalllllll

xD

Well, I could have easily won QuakeCON2000..

bit cocky aint it mr Fat.

overall nice i-view Sizah

yeah it sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me "i would have felt bad if i won it, [so i decided to lose on purpose, even though i was so much better than zero4]" that's just ridiculous, and i dunno y he has to put people down like that.

oh, and why the hell doesn't ANYBODY ask the rsi question ffs?

Well actually he didn't play at Quakecon 2000, the first prize was only a new computer and since in 2000 he won more major events than anyone else he's pretty much right that if he'd have shown up he probably would have won it. Travelling all the way there for a new computer probably wasn't worth his time.

but he could show some more respect to his fellow pro-gamers.

ah, thought he did play in 2000. sorry bout that. i still think his excuse was bs though. he flies around the nation just to practice

its also interesting reading that when a few q's back he goes 'i dont have a bad ego. i just really want to win.'

lol?:(

An interesting read with nice questions but the usual fatality "promote-my-own-products" and "I-am-the-best" cocky attitude is getting a bit boring.

Though, i have still a lot of respect for him.

I'm sure he has a small penis

Dead on. :D

"You've made your move again in games, from CS to CoD, from CoD to PK. What was the reason of this to start playing PK?
Main reason is to keep winning CPL Player of the Year."

ooh, he still doesn't play for fun. ;P

Winning > fun

^_^

I wonder what it's like to be the one player in competitive gaming that no one will ever pull for?

Guy is the only american no american will ever cheer for. Hope he loses miserably and early.

I don't think you are in a position to judge how every american thinks about Fatal1ty.
If he plays well in the Painkiller tournament and is able to take out players like stelam or v0o, that would be major proof for his talent.

Kind of like the Americans rooting for the 2k4 Euros?

well i am sure there are plenty of americans and euros alike that will be cheering for him, me for one.

rofl he's still a little child. "oh yeah you know when u're the number 1" Hum, let me remember, he was claiming he was then number 1 in ut2003 1on1, but he lost against zulg... I hope there will be "zulg-like" player for PK to put him directly to his plane back to USA.
And Fatal1ty Inc is such a joke... You can't not be laughing at the worst geek-gaming ever...

show me a player that has a larger winnings list than this

http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=709538&page=1

there are also very good players around who dont play in these large tournaments

we both know that that's just like saying i'm or you is the best but we never proved ourselves :)
when watching russian q3ers they're all really good between themselves, but only a few have made far in an international tourney...

im sure destrukt comes close

Im quite sure though that there are quite alot of gamers that enjoy his products, like the fatpad for example.

or the fatbeanie

where get one get a fatbeanie in europe.. The ultimate collectors item :P

That's right.
I'm owning a Fatpad. But not because it's by fatality, I bought it because back then it was the biggest mousepad around (I didn't knew any bigger) and I needed some huge carpet like this. ;)

And yes, I enjoy playing with it. :>

dirtyboy

hear hear :)

n1 interview, thx a lot

who do we all love? we <3 Fatal1ty, Go Go Fat! Great interview Sizah, keep it up yo!

nice interview, a bit long :P

gl fat !

ABIT long? :P

hehe :D

bloody 'ell this guy needs to be knocked down a notch. Sure if you're good and know it then flaunt it, but this is slightly too far. Look at schumacher, a dispised racer coz hes cocky (but good). Will happen to fat soon :/

About schumi, he also gets treated bad because how he races (wrecklessly and often without respect for other drivers). Plus he's in ferrarri =) (yuck for them).

khorne mate respect and everything but you have no idea about how the formula 1 works ;)

Then tell me why dont ya? =)

bad because how he races (wrecklessly and often without respect for other drivers). Plus he's in ferrarri =)

he doesn't race wrecklessly. He just is a succeful driver and ppl don't like this fact, they are jealous about this fact. Also, ferrari is a great team, if Montoya would drive for them you would love this team ;)

He is a great driver, no argument about that. Hower, other drivers dont really like him. Not because he wins alot, but because he wins at all costs. If he can pass a car only by taking that driver out of the race - he will. Mika Häkkinen for example, which was probably up to schumi's class in terms of skill, said numerous times that he doesnt like schumi because he shows no respect for other drivers.

This also goes slightly for ferrari which is by now pretty used to winning all the time. But notice how they react when other teams are ahead or equal to them :). Last year for example they sued michelin for having a few mm of too wide tires when ferrarri was almost third in the constructors championship. So, michelin had to make new tires after that. In races for example, schumi has on a number of occasions had help getting on the track again (which is illegal, if the car, cant move, it should stay there and he's out of the race). You never see anyone do this for alonso, or panis for example :).
So, schumi is a great driver yes (although not as good as senna, and possibly häkkinen in my oppinion), but he, and ferrari earns very little respect from me.

About montoya, that is quite false since a) he wouldnt, and b) montoya doesnt like schumi or ferrari and will most likely never drive for them :)

I officialy got owned here :) After thinking about everything twice I agree with you! ;)

nice interview


And that winnings list is fat =D

lets forget this comment, i was drunk last night

Why would the 3rd place finisher in ut2003 at eswc not get through the group stages in ut2004? Feel free to provide examples of your logic along the way.

xs|pain pro player 2nd @ WCG 2001 -
xs|pain unpro player out in groups @ WCG 2002

Yeah by like frag difference as I seem to remember, so that's a pretty weak argument.

go kiss his ass on forums then

Good comeback, let me know when your 12th birthday is coming up so I can send a razor.

wannabe

that's a damn good comeback

lol

hush

one thing is for sure, he would batter you and any of your clan.

Now that was not too mature.

you'll get used to it in france

Sounds like a bit of a bum boy to me.

Well, I could have easily won QuakeCON2000, but I was winning so many tournaments I felt bad if I won it...

oh man... he could need some ass kicking for sure. That was probably the worst comment ever.

"I'm going to sponsor the LeBron James of gaming,""

LOLOLOL thought that was fkn hilarious.


or or!

Does the 5-8 hour a day practice isolate you from the outside world ?
Not really...I still go out of course and have fun with friends, go to waterparks, go to baseball games, date girls, go clubbing and all that good stuff a 23 year old does...

haha

People with jobs don't date or club. You have to grow money on trees and sport a 10in wang for that lifestyle.

or you just have a shitty job...

Mint Interview!!! Well done sizah! :)

nothing new really typical fat answers but nice sizah none the less was worth the read

his attitude is very lame though, a little too much ego reminds me of arqon ;)

and as for the game switching, correct me if i am wrong but how many others have seriously changed from game to game to try make money as much as possible at this level?
Not too many, if any at all, this is why he stands out because he is one of the only people that do it.

And i wouldnt consider him the best gamer, or FPS gamer since quake 3 is the only serious game he has ever been on top for a solid while, yet i think zero4 has won as many major quake 3 international events or ended up in top 3? correct me if i am wrong

Look at him! He looks like a leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetle boy! He'e a gnoooooooooome! A GNOOOOOOOOOOOOME! AND HE SMELLS LIKE FAECES!!!!

Isn't Blue playing CS at a medium level? Not retired from gaming, but maybe from pro-gaming?

most nerds, like you reading this right now, are feeling intimidated and confused by fatality's arrogance and confidence..admit it, his interview alone is enough to beat you, thats how good he is.

well said :P

yes....we all wish we were in his shoes, without a proper education, a low income and a dark looking future. He is not a pro-gamer as a thirty year old, so unless he can make a future out of his gigantic company, my guess is he will be flipping burgers at mcdonalds. Wouldnt be surprised either if he is going to need surgery to his wrists within a copule of years, because of all that gaming. It isnt healthy at all, just ask makaveli how hurt his wrist got of it....
But best of wishes to him...though i feel sorry for him that his life has evolved like this. To me its a facade. I dont think he enjoys it anymore, and i think he regrets it a lot, that he ever decided to go into pro-gaming. It isnt as fun as he had hoped, it isnt all the time worth, its a sad job, etc. But now he cant give in, because if he does that, he will lose face or what ever you call it, and he isnt that kind of person that can handle it. So his plan is now to keep playing, and swallow the bitter pill it is, then resign and live from the income Ifate can produce. But this income depends on his image, and if he isnt remembered as one of the biggest gamers of all time, and if he stops on the buttom with a defeat, then all the little fanboys and future fanboys out there wont buy his products, and in the end, he will be forgotten. Well, its just my own littly stupid theory with a worst case scenario =)

if i recall he finished his university study...

Actually, there are much worse jobs out there than gaming. I do think fatal1ty has a bit too big ego at times but he's a great gamer and he's dedicated to making esport bigger. Nothing wrong with that right? Sure, he wants to be famous and make alot of money but hey, it's not like he's the only one who wants that. I wouldn't say that fatal1ty is the main reason why esports has grown so much the last years. But he's one of the few who actually try contributing to that growth instead of just whining on esr forums.

Cut him some slack

Great interview sizah. Respect Fatal1ty!

It would be better for gaming if Fatality won more. He is by far the most well known and most winning American gamer. Take one for the team and support him. Just give it some thought; even if you do not like him his success will bring him fame to the game which will raise awareness of competitive gaming. If a lesser known player wins nothing will change and that is precisely what the corporations want. The corporations are secure marketing to their specific niche at extremely low cost with amazing success. The corporations know that if Fatality keeps winning he will become more of a publicly recognized figure which will not only bread new gamers, but concern on behalf of parents, media, and politicians. This will force the corporations to establish a truly professional league in which many players are sponsored. The corporations would not want to look like they are misleading the youth of the world by hyping up these "professional" events that thousands on youth around the world train for but only few make decent money. The rest of the gamers are virtually wasting their youth staring at a monitor.

Consider Q3 and its five year life, and the thousands of gamers who competed; how many earned even minimum wage for their time? Granted gaming is fun, but the corporations have created a "professional" circuit with very little support, and yet high participation rates. Training for an event is serious work and the money is just not there. Gaming is so fun naturally that it has a way of consuming a persons mind, then add the competitive nature of people and the potential of earning cash at something you love. This is a very dangerous business today. Young people especially have little self control and they are tempted to practice for LONG hours because the corporations sold the illusion to them. Young people should focus on school before they get older and find their brain functions like a recovering crack head for staring at a monitor so long. Young people are letting their bodies fall apart which will cause them serious problems in the future. The youth should focus on their education and unplug their minds from the matrix.

One day gaming may be a real sport, but until then I would strongly urge minimal participation! Let Fatality do his thing, he can have the money and the fame. He puts in the effort to deserve the pay. His success is the best chance for gaming to reach its potential. SUpport His gaming career, and put his personality aside.

bla bla bla.

this man is so damn right, give him blowjob's !

well tbh, someone with this kinda attitude getting popular is more damage then it is good for pro gaming.. people arent blind and companies who do want to put money into gaming will generalize this arrogance with most of every gamer.. Im sure if you are trying to get something popular u need to be humble and not a complete and utter asshole..

So we're actually coming out with a Fatal1ty ABIT MotherBoard and a Fatal1ty ABIT Graphics Card this September! This is a big step for the gaming community

err

the Mainboards are nice though.. pci-express and so on..
for the dutch people here is a link with info

http://www.tweakers.net/nieuws/33074/?highlight=fatal1ty

Hehehe, surprisingly I could read it fine.

maar ek praat baba taal

sud-africa ? ;)

couldnt you tell me "cancellar" means "confirm" and not "cancel" ffs?? Now i have this big black south african guy wanting to kill me cuz i cancelled his cable television subscription!
and im not joking, he actually tried to grab me behind the desk :D

Well >:) but what makes them different from normal mainboards? Maybe you pay more cause of the name Fatalonity, then a usuall identical model without his name?

that still makes the mainboards have nice specs... but any self respecting gamer would not buy a Fat-board imo..

he'll prolly use a slogan like "With this mainboard you'll be the #1 in no time, just like i did"..

why would a 'self respecting' gamer not buy one? By buying one u r getting a great motherboard and helping fatal1ty.inc to progress, possibly allowing him to sponsor other teams/players to get to the bigger events.

imo any self respecting 'gamer' would see this as a good opportunity to help the gaming community.

and maybe pay extra for the fatal1ty brand... wich adds nothing to the mainboard

YES!

'Professional gaming' will never happen.

7-9? years and its still only a handful of tournaments that are world renowned. Then a few lan parties here and there for bum boys.



Fucking go outside and get a REAL job.

personally i wouldn't buy any shit with fatal1ty stamped on it. Cos i hate the guy?

Also the profet margins must be alot.

hellooo korea

yeah theres 200 pro players in korea last count

they are weird though.

and 200 isn't exactly huge numbers.

A supermarket employs more peopel than that.

GET REAL JOBS

some pro korean sc player is making upwards of 400k :O

just thought id throw that figure in there...

Some of them earn more money than your "REAL JOB".

We'll find out then in the future.

I just don't think that professional gaming will take off like everyone hopes it will.

Only a handful of players in the world earn enough to live on.

thats cuz they are the winners, their skills are their qualifications. If any old player with average skill could be a pro-gamer i think i mite walk to local hospital and try my hand at brain surgery.

hehe :p

If lip-syncing blow-up dolls can earn millions, why wouldn't there be a future for professional gaming then? It's getting nigh now with consoles jumping on the online bandwagon.

The competitions only appeal to people who play those games. As they know whats going on and can appreciate the skill levels involved.

We need one game that will unite everyone...

"I can pick up pretty much any FPS game and be a dominant force without any practice."


OK!

It is amusing reading all these pussies talk shit to someone they hate for their success. You guys are such jealous wankers. Do you wake up everyday and realize how much you hate yourself?

yeah seriously, stop being jealous of his success. you probably want to suck his wang right now. lol

Is it? Jealous wankers you say? That would mean they would write such words in every interview with successful players.

But most likely, not even one of these persons has a thing to point out to the ones like gitzz, or zulg, or boxer, or rat, etc etc.
Because they aren't as successful as fat? Because they don't have their own brand and that sort of crap? I don't think so.

Everyone knows fatality has a shitload of talent, everyone knows he's one of the most skilled players ever.
However, people tend to dislike persons full of them selves, and clearly that interview made any arrogance-cocky-o-meter go cab00m.
In my opinion, more then being his own personality, all this crap speech is part of his own self promotional image to promote his brand, it's his choice, and when it comes to marketing and money-making, maybe it's the right one, because if you repeat one thing for a long time, it eventually becomes "true", especially to the ones new at gaming.

Having a brand of his own its great, I mean its quite a great accomplishment, we all understand that, however, I won't buy a fuckin fat pad cuz he says he loves the community, just like I won't buy a fat board because he says it's a huge step for the community. A huge step for the community? How come? I'm sure there are a lot of 12 year old kids who will buy that because they truly believe it's great, having a fuckin graphic card from the best player ever born in this entire universe, omg omg omg. But it ends there.
Our sense of reality is determined by our own experience and maturity acquired from our own mistakes, like when we were kids some of us really believed that §rand chocolate brand would really give us super strength and so on. It's the same here. It's marketing, directed to young and/or dumb brains.

In the end, there's nothing wrong there (at least not legally), he's trying to make money, but this is a public thread, so don't expect everyone to sit tight while reading this shitload of self centered marketing garbish, which btw, it's exactly as his other interviews, but with new products to sell.

but then gitzzz zulg and rat have not earned wat fatal1ty has have they?

as for boxer, no1 in their right mind cud slag him off for gaming when he has a wage of something like 200k a year.

ZeRo4 earned quite a lot...

i think the first q3 demo i saw was fat owning xaero.

good interview, though i wish all the "i r rewl!" questions had been edited out and we'd gotten some more of his opinions on the professional/corporate aspects of the scene.

he should get a contract with wcg or cpl to run their tournaments and just play in exhibition matches. that way someone who knows what they're doing would be in charge of the tourneys (no more cxg's!), we'd still get some fun demos, and he'd make his bank :)

personally would have liked some more PK and ESWC questions..

huge lol

/me prepares for lame excuse after fat gets whooped in ESWC PK

He'll finish top 3.

And I'm not even a fan at all, I'm just realistic. He's good and he has talent, and he DOES have the most experiance in the world (1v1 FPS), and sometimes it's not about talent, or practise, but just pure experiance. I think he's the calmest player in tournaments.

He'll still have a lame excuse for not winning the champ.

He'll onlybe top3 if he's lucky with the brackets.

Top 3. That is all I say.

terrible questions, what a waste

you've just gone over stuff that he has said in many interviews before

you could have asked more topical questions, ie what he thinks of PK, how much he has practised, how well he thinks he will do @ eswc, who he thinks will be his main rivals in this comp

i agree, i only waited for this interview to see how he feels about playing the ESWC competition.

not worth the effort

and the RSI question--the motherfucking RSI QUESTION!

Agree!

lol - so if jonathan 'w@nker' wendel can 'dominate' at any game let's see him take on the koreans at warcraft - or whoever plays fifa at fifa :)

dominating a new fps when you've been top at an old one isn't gonna be too tricky - especially at first when the scene is full of newbies.

love the 'natural talent' stuff - if i'd been pulling 8 hour days at fps games since quake1 i think i'd have 'natural talent' too :)

i do think he ment FPS games..

thats where your wrong, you could put in 8 hours a day for the next couple of months and still get ur ass handed to you by cooller, zamuz etc.

and so gets fat, if he'd still play q3. he learns fast, but that's not enough to stay on top for long.

Not if they played z4muz or other pro level layers for that long.

Its all experience and maybe to much aim.

it is amazing how playing the same game (effectively) for over 5 years and putting in up to 8 or more hours per day on a regular basis helps your 'natural talent' though :)

not that many (any?) of us knew of fat during q2 or q1 though - which is odd cos surely with that much 'natural talent' plus his desire for competition should have got hime known ... maybe it didn;t kick in for the first few years though :)

I think he was an hpb through q2. Didn't get on broadband until q3, if I remember correctly.

actually thresh invited him into dr (q2 days) but he was too young back then and stuff...
there's an auido interview with fatal1ty and thresh somewhere on this site if you want to hear the whole story.

you are the biggest fucking fanboy on this site, i really dont understand how your arse fucked comments piss me off so much

first a cooller fanboy, now fatal1ty? make up ur mind...

and tell me, what are you going to say if he doesnt make top 3? I think he will but i wouldnt put money on him owning the competition, it will be intresting to see

i wouldnt say a thing, plenty of good players in the tourney. I will be rooting for him nontheless.

a couple months < the last 4 years.

uh, warcraft and fifa aren't FPS games retard.

heh - i guess i misread that one - thought he was arrogant enough to say 'game' - my fuckup :)

btw: did you know that in english percival is often shortened to percy and that in some parts of the country your 'percy' is your dick?

No, I did not know that, nor did i NEED to know that :-(.

are u called willy?
follow my thinking..

RTS is about as far away from FPS in the gaming world as you can get.

Ah man all this pointless loathing that grasps feverishly for a target...big ups to this community....yey...

Heh he won so much but still is the most insecure gamer that i've ever seen. He has to constantly proof himself and tell the world how great he is. If he really thought he was the best he wouldnt showboat it that much

hmm, i think the same.

This is most definitely the best Fatal1ty interview I have ever read. Every single line was really interesting and enjoyable.

sarcasm? :)

it was a good interview, good questions asked by sizah worth the effort but the clear problem is fatality i just cant stand him

i appreciate his skill and his winnings but his attitude just spoils it. You never here this crap from zero4 or any or good player. He talks about makaveli and his smack talk, fatality is just as bad if not worse i think

No sarcasm. The fact that he' cocky is not something I judge in an interview. The answers he gives are interesting and that's what is important. It's not really your regular Fat interview.

true true

misspelled kiss kiss there? \o>

it comes across as being tongue in cheek from maka - whereas fat seems to really believe what he's saying.

there's also the fact that maka had charisma - he was the mcenroe of quake - whereas fat's more like lendl.

aye,

a lot of people ego and talk smack for the fun of it know they dont really mean it, fps|HELL is one of them ;)

just some people are a little too serious

i would've rather had more questions about pk and eswc, who he thinks would be his toughest competition, what he thinks about the pros/cons of the game, or how he would improve the game, etc...

i personally dont want to hear about his FATBOARDS(NEAT!) and other 'yo yo dis shiz iz in da hood! wear my beanie doggz.' crap ;o

Well, experience tells he would have said that all the players are awesome but he feels confident he'll win, so that's about your answer to that :). And about PK it' true I guess.

And the best thing is you don't have to struggle understanding his dialect. In his case written > spoken ;-)

1 fps pro, but love comes in 2+

This guy makes $$$ of the gaming community, he is a smarty.

Some are his whores and he is the p1mp, he will go on p1mping the players.

I would of done the same.


GG fata.

Oh, and btw, u haters out there, u'll never achieve anything only hating other people's successes.

Give this guy the respect he deserves and shut up, he is fatality, u r shit.

He did alot for the gaming community already, and his attitude towards gaming is one of a kind.

He gives more about the community then his money. (Ok, Ok, maybe not, but it looks that way) :).

most of us appreciate his sucess, and i hate him for the attitude he puts across i dont know what is so hard about saying "oh well i come 3rd not 1st better luck next time" instead of other crap

how does he explain, 3rd EWSC 2002, 4th WCG qualis, and 4th again? I bet if he loses at ESWC and doesnt get 1st, he will blame painkiller who being such a bad game :|

ok im gonna stop ranting now because i am pissing myself off :D

rofl.

damn dude, this is the funniest comment ever.

"he is fatality, u r shit" lol. I feel so shitty now that I'm not a pseudo pro-gamer with a lousy attittude and a enormous mouth that sells fatgear for living.

I dont know much about fatality, i dont go digging in his personal life or whatever, and im also not saying that everyone thinks he has a bad attitude.

Im just telling u my opinion on what he said in this interview, and the comments.

i actually DID laff at that comment, aaahahahah

'he is fatal1ty, u r shit'

not the most subtle of comments :)

I have gained alot of respect for him when i read this interview. Saying he will sponser gamers and clans is a big step for gaming. Of course he will make money from it but gaming will benifit because of it.

Saying he will sponsor and actually sponsoring clans/players are two different things. I'm pretty sure he has never sponsored a team he has not been on.

but then why not include urself in the team when u r the best? he doesnt have the income to sponsor yet, but i am sure he will if his business takes off.

I did go over to the Quake3 section at ESWC last year though, and played some games against LeXeR and prozaC. I won all my games, and I hadn't played Quake3 in like 6 months.

Man i want to see some of those games, LeXeR was playing really well at ESWC :(

That's lame of him to mention that, practice games are for practicing! Next time fat, leave your ego outside.

from my point of view, he is just bragging on how he has beaten real trained players, but he doesn't mention that it was on dm17.

ego.com

In the name of God, the Most merciful, the Most Compassionate.

You people speak such evil. How poorly you represent your character by taking time out of your day to insult another human being who is innocent of any crime against you. In my religion this is called back-biting. The last Prophet of God taught us that penalty for this sin is that you will be forced to eat the flesh of your own dead brother on the day of judgement. Imagine biting through the flesh and eating the blood and insides of your own brother. This is how evil it is to speak wrongly about another human. It is you who attack an innocent young man that are arrogent. You believe you are endowed with the authority to harm an innocent human! May you find humility in your hearts and repent to our Creator and be of those who are forgiven.

On another note, only one other gamer could be compared to Fatality and that is Thresh, who has been inactive for nearly 5 years. Fatality is not just a gamer, he has vision for the community. He fights a corporate world who doubts hims, he fights a public that does not respect the idea of gaming, he fights against the CPL, WCG, and Qcon who fail to be consistent in supporting a specific game for a tournament, and worst of all he fights you his own brothers(fellow gamers) who launch aggressive attacks against him. He must be extremely confident to withstand such attacks. Just imagine you having to live with all these insults knowning you did nothing to anyone. You people think when a person has money they are free from emotional pain.

He is alone walking alone down a dark road because he sees light at the end. He is one of the few who is blessed with this vision, and if GOd wills his devotion may be a liberating force that will transcend this community from its current state of darkness.

BUSINESS*
If we were to support his products his business would succeed along with the brave companies that sponsor him. This will tell those concerned with gaming that a gamer can be used to market products and is thus worthy of sponsorship. Also that the community is very serious about gaming and it is united and poised to trek towards the future. Fatality is trying to be the pioneer that opens a world of possibility to thousands of young people. Buy his products becauase they are good, buy his products because they will elevate competitive gaming. If we were serious about gaming we would donate money freely to this cause.

We are blind if we can not look past his speach and see his vision. In my religion God commands us to overlook the faults of our brothers. Also we are to support our brothers whether they be the aggressor or the oppressed. If he is the aggressor we are to help him by giving him counsel and preventing him for oppressing. Have some heart and help a brother in need. Help yourselves. Let not the evil of your souls corrupt your hearts and minds. Verily satan whispers into our minds and verily satan wishes to lead is to eternal punishment! Just look at what you say and ask what benefit is derived from its filth. Then imagine all the pain you could cause a peron with these evil words.

May God forgive you for attempting to hurt another human being so deeply and cowardly. May God guide us all to peace, prosperity unity and brotherhood under His One true order. The harmony of the universe and of mankind is Islam to which I do submit with humility.

lol is that supposed to be funny?:D

Heh, not exactly.

'lol is that supposed to be funny?:D'

evidently

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH :DDDDDDDDD

i dont think Fatality is more arrogant compared to another 'pro gamer' ..

Every 'pro gamer' has to be arrogant to a certain extend , the difference is that few are showing it loudly like fat ..

I mean arrogant toward the game and his skills...

I don't get it... all the flaming.
Yeah maybe he sometimes comes across as a little cocky, but he's a damn good gamer so that sort of confidence you would expect. Look at infinite, he's got a much bigger mouth than fat and is way cockier.

Its pretty obvious he's trying to help and promote the scene to make gaming bigger, not just for himself but for everyone. Get off his nuts, drop the oh so cool "hate fatal1ty" attitude and have a atleast a little respect for what he's trying to do regardless of whether you like him as a person/ his attitude or not.

No I'm not a fat fan boy, I'm just not a sheep.

name a top American sportsperson who is humble... just try it .. its the american way..

Andy Roddick?

who?
he said 'known'!

/me wibbles about tennis

His service speeds match a railgun.

"i get really good at FPS games in first few months or so they are out out because i don't do anything else except play said game 24/7, but as time progresses the competition gets much tougher as people get more playing time under their belts and start embarrassing me at LANs. at this point, i quickly vacate the premises and move on to another game."

- fatal1ty

I respect him for his achivments but it makes me mad that he does not admit that he was no longer the best q3 player when he quit the game.

FATALITY IS COOL.

wow, the fat hate bandwagon has grown. the guy is willing to start sponsoring teams and players as well as being a figure in esports itself and people still cant let go of the jealousy.

buncha fegs they are :\

Not to hate on Fat because of the way he chooses to live but wow, lay of the ego some. There are to many egos in gaming. col|1 from www.complexityclan.com is worse though. He says he will be the first person to sign a million dollar gaming contract. 1 pays players to play on his crappy CS team.

pro gamming is for fat kids

I think you hit the "m" twice with your fat fingers.

roflmao :D

What a big headed cunt. He cant even admit when he was beat by a better player.

Lol sad cunt.

fatality should leave games and become a prostitute. Not only will his attitude help him there but he'd probably make more money too. People might actually like the idea of screwing a pro-gamer

You'd be his first customer.

no

Freud told me to say it.

sizah give this message to fatality plz

ur the biggest goofball around fatal1ty.. niErd.. :f

have any of you stopped to think that some of what fatal1ty has said could be altered in some way? a friend of mine jody (|afz|k!ng-n3wborn) has been at every quakecon and had become good friends with jon. he said he's a real nice guy.. i think some of this commentary has been altered slighty..i'm not convinced that all those words came directly from the source (johnathon)...lets not make him out to be the badguy. he's an superb player and we should all strive to be as good as him :> later

then its weird hes like that in all interviews.

I met Jon at cXg, and his entire parent company crew, and they are all nice guys and good people.

He's like this in all his interviews (and in person to an extent) for two reasons. One, he's a competetor. Every top player thinks they are the greatest guy on earth and can take down anyone in their dueling game. (It's the same with teams.) If a person doesn't have that attitude and mindset they will never win anything. Some might say 'well he should be like cha0ticz'. Jared is probably the nicest guy anyone will meet, but even he has this competetor edge, his personality doesn't let him brag too much or soak up credit when its not deserved.

Secondly, sponsors. Do you really think a boxer is going to go around and say 'Man this guy I gotta play next month is gonna run me over like a choo-choo train' when the guys backers are listening? Heck, forget sponsors, think of the guys fans. Granted fat does it more egotistically then someone wants to hear but he holds his ground for his fans (which you know he has) and for his sponsors. If I was a sponsor, this is the type of interview I'd wanna see and you know fatal1ty is linking this off to them in monthly reports of what fat did that month to show his work for the month or business quarter.

I actually like seeing attitudes like this, not because I like it, but because it shows people are taking what they do very seriously. I don't think fatal1ty is the greatest q3 1v1 dueler in the world, nor do I think he was the greatest in u2k3 + ut2k4's short lives, but not many people can change games like that. He's proven himself a real pro-gamer, not a gamer stuck in one game or gametype. His practice/work ethic and natural skills are a good combination that has given him sucess and opened doors for others.

Personally, I liked this interview. There was stuff in this interview I hadn't seen fatal1ty say before and I liked seeing that for once. I also love the fact that he still likes Q3 1v1 and see's it how many of us do... nothing matches up to that engine for dueling on a big scale.

</ramble> Expect more rambling posts, on different topics, from me soon :)

can't believe I read that, but I agree :P

Aye, very well put, but to the community he comes off as very arrogant :/

maybe i'm reading between the lines when there is possibly nothing written there @ all, but fat going in2 PK is maybe because this year's UT competiton @ ESWC is a little stronger than that of last year's, (forrest and a couple of others didnt attend last year) and finishing outside of the top3 would certainly see him lose face. Some1 once said that a shattering illusion is more painful than any reality.

Entering the PK scene is easier when u consider the fact that its far less competitive, with fewer good players competing, added to that, PK hasnt really had an oppurtunity to develop a strong community. Whereas UT2k4 obviously has ppl from UT'99 and UT2k3 migrating. Just a thought! He would still be a contender having said all that.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE !!!!!!

go fatal1ty

I read the interview few minutes ago and I can only agree with the earlier post of Carmac:

This is most definitely the best Fatal1ty interview I have ever read. Every single line was really interesting and enjoyable.

Thx sizah for this iview and good luck to fatality.

I hear his mousepad is really good for wiping your ass with as its very big and super absorbing

I would be interested to see his response to a question about why he always seems to change games once the 1v1 scene for the game he's playing seems to expand and the competition gets tough. He wasn't around for Cooler and zero4's times of domination was he? After winter CPL 2002, which was really the debut for UT2k3 1v1, he never won another tournament, one in which he knew about all the strange forced settings (weapon draw on, medium details, etc) before any of the other players. And Alien vs Predator? I mean how long was that game out and how serious did people practice it to give him real competition?

Obviously he's a good player, and obviously he got his foot in the door with the right organizations and is now on the inside with the tournament scene (like the CPL), but how much of it really is talent and skill, and how much of it is being the first person clever enough to work a gimick?

The people can decide i guess, everyone will have their own opinion, but circumstance often drowns out the trumpets of accomplishment.

well, he defeated zero4 last quakecon when zero4 was number 1 and competition was really tough, and he came second i think. So yeah, he has talent for sure, its just really hard to be number one when theres a lot of competition. The problem with this games is that you get to a point were there are many top player that can beat each other, not because of their talent but because of game limits. Some people have more talent to reach this level quicker than others, this is fatal1ty. Ofcourse he practices a lot for sure, but im sure he is really talented.

omg

im not a big fatality fan or anything.. i could really care less how well he performs in the tourney.. but on some of the earlier pages i read comments about people laughing at his motherboards and stuff, saying how they are useless cuz they just add extra markup to the price.. that is completely wrong IMO

i think it is a huge step for gaming that large corporations are pairing up with gamers now.. once gaming is large enough to start generating revenue through advertisements and gamer-sponsored products like fatality's mobo for example.. i think it will really take off. kind of like how nike shows pro sports players in their commercials.. what if intel starts showing pro gamers in their commercials.


i think fatality's motherboard is definitely a good step for gaming.. yeah, i prolly wont buy one (i dont need one),, but nonetheless it is still a positive thing for large-scale gaming.
