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
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.
