Techspot has reported that Jonathan Wendel, the three-time world champion in the Cyberathlete Professional League, will be featured this Sunday on the popular CBS news program 60 Minutes. The announcement came from Auravision on January 20th, 2006.

View: CBS to feature Jonathan Wendel on 60 minutes
”Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel was excited to be featured on the legendary CBS News magazine. “Of course, I’m tremendously flattered that 60 Minutes would find my life interesting enough to create this program,” stated Wendel. “My hope is that this exposure will raise the interest in competitive video gaming.”
It should be interesting to hear from someone who made over $100,000 last year doing PC gaming.

    Got my ass completed kicked by him a couple of years ago @ a show. He is an excellent pro gamer. Good luck to him I say, making the kind of money he does!

    That's badass you two got to play against him. I wonder how many public servers he plays on these days? And how many people copy his name?

    I've got a really good recording of his section of the show (about 15 minutes). If anyone is interested I could make it available here.

    Aha ...just the man I'm looking for.
    I really feel quite stupid being the one who posted this news and then forgot to watch the show. I was far too busy doing some overclocking, ram tweaking and benchmarking. Silly me. Wifey reminded me when she got home from work but by then it had just ended.

    At any rate ...I would appreciate it TheSmJ!

    I think his name is a rip.. i used to play against a Fatal1ty in Q3A circa 2000, and he was not that great, he was good but not super uber, id rail his ass regularly. But I doubt seriously it was the same person.

    Most likely not the same dude, I think he's been doing the PC gaming thing for less than 5 years now...
