Name:
Oskar Ljungström
Clan(s): Swedish Chefs, Allstars |
If there was ever a guy who had a natural talent for gaming, it would be Lakerman. He won almost every competition he participated in during the QW era, this with minimum practice compared to the competition. At one time during his early QW career, when he had just proven that he was one of the better players in Sweden, he moved to the US. According to him he was surprised how bad everyone was there and eventually started winning more or less everything. When he came back to Sweden, he was changed. From that time until he stopped playing, he was one of the best gamers in every game he participated in.
Unfortunately, international events in QW were unheard of so it was very difficult to judge who really the best player between countries was. This led Truegamers (iznos site now of gamers.nu fame) to host a now legendary tournament called TGi. TGi featured the best QW players of that time, including Sujoy, Xenon, Sectopod, Reload, Timber, Kane and more. This event which defined the QW era was won by LakermaN_of_SC, dubbing him the best QW dueler of all time.
Lakerman also had major success in Q3 in which he was one of the absolute top players, currently he is a professional poker player.

 Fatal1ty |
Name:
Johnathan Wendel
Clan(s): Clan Kapitol, iFate |
John "Fatal1ty" Wendel was one of the first gamers who thought about going pro. He participated in many tournaments during his Quake3 career and earned plenty of money, it was obviously that this man knew where he's future lay, being a pro-gamer.
The career of Jonathan "fatal1ty" Wendel was not always that flawless however, in his real life he experienced a family crisis before participating in the Babbages CPL event in December of 2000, where he placed 7th. After that, Fatal1ty recovered very quickly and placed 1st at CPL Australia, 3rd at CPL Holland, 2nd at Quakecon 2001, and 2nd at CPL Brazil.
After a few years, he ended his very successful Quake career and moved on to a new game, to showcase that he is the best in any game.
He practiced Unreal Tournament 2003 for over 8 hours a day while being followed by MTV. The reason of all this, is because Fatal1ty wanted to attend the CPL Pentium 4 Winter Championship. His insane practice was rewarded at that event which made him CPL Champion of the Year, for the third time in a row.
After the lack of tournaments in Unreal Tournament 2003, Fatal1ty has now decided to play Counter-Strike instead.
