Via the Guardian Gamesblog, the news that Jonathan Wendel (Fatal1ty) won a large cash and loot prize for his victory at the Cyberathlete Professional League championships. From the BBC article: "In all 32 players battled for the grand final title but the fight for the top two places became a showdown between Mr Wendel (aka Fatal1ty) and Mr Kaasjager (aka Voo). The pair have dominated the tournament as it hopped around the globe. The CPL World Tour was played out over ten stops held in nine nations around the world throughout 2005. Top players at the tour stops won places in the grand final. Players took each other on at the Painkiller computer game."
