The largest cash prize ever offered in a single PC gaming event was awarded to one of four top Chinese gamers at the ACON Fatal1ty Shootout at the Great Wall of China. 21-year-old Meng Yang, aka ?Rocket Boy,? was the only contestant to defeat Fatal1ty at the competition. Meng was given $1,000,000 ($125,000 USD). This historic invitational exhibition, presented by ABIT Computer Corporation, was part of the Fatal1ty Road Show titled ?Giving Back to Gaming.?

Johnathan ?Fatal1ty? Wendel praised Meng after the match. ?Rocket Boy was on his game today and made all the right moves - he will be an inspiration to gamers worldwide, and for sure, to the growing gaming community in China. His victory at my Great Wall of China exhibition was huge, and will be seen as a big win for gaming, particularly for gaming in China.? Wendel added, ?I?m proud to be part of bringing the largest prize ever awarded in gaming history.? Rocket Boy was ecstatic about winning his prize, which made him an instant millionaire; the size of the award presently represents nearly 100 years of a factory worker?s average wage in China. ?I practiced hard to play in this exhibition because I wanted to play my idol,? said Meng Yang. ?I?ve studied him for five years and dreamed of playing the number one gamer in the world. I am honored to participate.?
