Johnathan became the world’s first full time professional video gamer in 1999 after accepting an invitation to represent the USA at an international tournament in Stockholm, where he went undefeated with a perfect performance, winning all 18 maps. He continued to dominate competitions all over the world, competing on 6 continents during his 8-year professional career. Winning the 2005 CPL World Tour Finals in New York City secured his twelfth major title, accomplished while competing in 5 different games - an unprecedented achievement. His New York City victory earned him $150,000 and brought his 2005 total winnings to $231,000. During his competitive gaming career Fatal1ty placed 1st in 65% of all the competitions he entered and top 3 in 90% of them. In August 2007, Johnathan was awarded the first ever Lifetime Achievement Award in the four-year history of the eSports-Award for “showing exceptional sportsmanship, taking part in shaping eSports into what it is today and for being the prime representative of this young sport. He has become the figurehead for eSports worldwide.”

Fatal1ty is relentless in his pursuit to continue to grow esports in the 21st century and plans to support this industry into the unforeseeable future.
