Here he is. The best Quake 4 player in Taiwan, the winner of the Fatal1ty shootout and the man who won the right to go head-to-head against Falal1ty for $100,000NT.

Then again, I’m sure he doesn’t want his name known since he proved to be zero challenge for Fatal1ty. The final score from the ten minute match was 74 to -3. Yes, 74 to minus three.
