WCG 2005 was Marcus' 4th World Cyber Games Grand Final event. Marcus' biggest break into the world of e-Sports commentary came when he was unable to follow clan519 to Paris to compete in LAN Arena 7. It was decided that he would provide coverage from home so people in North America could follow the tournament as it progressed. The event sparked a lot of interest in the Quake community, and Marcus realized the potential impact that this form of organized game coverage could have on the entire gaming scene. After spending nearly nine months studying both sports and e-sports commentary, Marcus was ready to unleash his might on the world. Marcus' passion for gaming is fueled by the people with whom he works and the fact that he believes e-Sports commentary is an essential element in making professional gaming a reality.
