 Keep - Satisfies point 1 of WP:ANYBIO. The subject of the article has won first place at some of the most notable international "electronic sports" competitions in the world such as Electronic Sports World Cup, Quakecon, and Gamescom. More information about these competitions can be found at Electronic sports. His ESWC win can be seen here which in my opinion, would satisfy point 1 on its own.

 * Tenative Delete One major problem with the article is that there's no source verifying these awards that the subject has won.  Even the one you point to is from FNATIC, which is a gaming team, not an independent news source.  Unless the awards can be reported by a source from the tournament or one that is sufficiently independent of the subject, they don't support the notability of the subject.  I'm going to do a search to see if I can find something official from the ESWC. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I've found official rankings through ESWC's website and the Internet Wayback Machine and have added them to the article. But there are several more awards here that are not verified.  If they are not verified, they can removed. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Among the most notable professional gamers, actually. Per OlYeller21. causa sui (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep This person is widely considered one of, if not the, best Quake players; this is not like one of your standard cases of a non-notable or unidentifiable DotA players, Ridernyc. That being said, this article could use some expansion. D arth B otto talk•cont 07:03, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
