Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, probably the best-known professional gamer, says he’s not retiring but is teaming up with DirecTV to launch the Championship Gaming Series, a new international pro video gaming league. Wendel announced at CES 2007 that he will become a play-by-play commentator, advisor and official spokesperson for the Championship Gaming Series.
“I don’t plan on retiring anytime soon,” Fatal1ty told TwitchGuru. “But I do want to concentrate on making gaming into a mainstream sport.” Wendel didn’t say whether his commitment to the Championship GaminGS eries would affect his participation on other professional gaming leagues such as the Cyberathlete Professional League and World Cyber Games.
