Well, Fatal1ty has been hosting his Fatal1ty Shootouts, playing with gamers of all ages, and will end up color commentating for CGS on Sunday, with camera crews and all. He is also at the event to learn more about the players and has been training hard on becoming a great sports announcer for CGS as he has worked with people like Mike Burks and others in the sports world. In fact, he will be attending a NBA playoff game in April to learn more about how sports broadcasting works.
