Under the agreement, Creative and Fatal1ty will collaborate on the design and
technical specifications for a variety of PC input devices and audio solutions.
Each product will be designed to deliver the highest level of responsiveness and
accuracy in its category. The collaborative design process between Creative and
Fatal1ty began early this year and all products designed under this partnership
will be branded Fatal1ty and Creative.
Zalman will be showing, for the
first time, its new official Fatal1ty coolers, the FS-C77 CPU Cooler and the
FS-V7 VGA cooler, as well as the new Fatal1ty QDT 500 Computer Enclosure.
"I’m very excited to bring the
Fatal1ty experience to the next level at E3 ’05 with a bigger booth and more
product," commented Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel. "I welcome any and all
challengers to play against me at the event, which draws gamers from around the
world."
Fatal1ty Shootouts are competitions
open to event attendees who want the chance to play against the world’s
best-known professional gamer. Prizes are awarded for any points scored, with
$2,500 going to the first challenger to defeat Fatal1ty. Additional valuable
prizes will be awarded to other contestants who also have what it takes to beat
Fatal1ty or score frags against him.
Shootouts will be contested on
computer systems built with Fatal1ty brand components as at all previous events.
Fatal1ty Shootouts have been held at locations around the world, including The
Great Wall of China, Moscow’s Red Square and London’s Leicester Square.
