Fatal1ty Leaves Forsaken

Posted by cobbeh at 02:17 26/12/2003.

It appears that full time professional gamer Jonathan Wendel aka Fatal1ty has announced his departure from US Counter Strike team Forsaken. We only recently saw Forsaken play at CPL Winter 2003 which saw the guys decide to not play Fatal1ty in any of their matches. This leads me to believe that Forsaken may of felt that he was not ready to play in such a big CS tournament.

Time will tell what's next for Fatal1ty but I hear that he has made it clear he is continuing to play CS but he will also be trying out new games, maybe Halo?

Good luck to Fatal1ty.

I wouldn't want to be in such a clan and not get any chance to play @ CPL, good luck to whatever he decides to do! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"Fatal1ty`: Well, CS is a major game and people have been playing it for a very long time. A lot of people think I have no chance at CS, so I want to play it to prove them wrong. Winning two tourneys in the last month here in Dallas with Top Players from 3D, Rival & Tec shows that I can compete at any game at any level if I put my mind to it.

You don't win 6 CPL's, a Gold Medal at WCG and CPL Champion of the Year for 3 years in a row for being only good at the game at the beginning."

Has he failed (ie crap) or were there diff reasons? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think the problem is hes used to picking up a game and rocking at it after a week or so training (eg the AvP2 cpl tourney where they only had the game for 2 weeks before the comp). However with cs while he could probably learn the guns and maps in that time learning to play with forsaken as ateam player and learning all thier play styles is a completely diffrent story, not being used to no being the best instantly he probably decided it was the teams fault :] [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Even though it doesnt look this way, I can still see Forsaken doing it for the attention, and not doing to have a player on their books. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Plus he was with SK most the time, so probably was ready to leave Forsaken. He should join the UK side instead, he'd easily walk in and be #1 player! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

tbh we should all hope fatality stops playing games as you could view his domination of any game he plays bad for any evolving pro-gaming industry. The companys that are plowing the money into gaming are going to look at where the money is going and think "how come this one guy just takes all the money. Aint much of a "sport" is it. You wouldnt see a top footballer stop playing football then the following month be the best rugby player in the world, then the following month be the best golfer in the world then the following month be the best hockey player in the world..... You get the point. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

shame Q3 ended, we got c**k DM games like UT2003 now.

Q3 was perfect deathmatch, UT2k3 is just nerds using queer guns jumping round in an OTT environment [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
