Rocketboy makes Guinness World Records

Meng “Rocketboy” Yang will be included in the Guiness Book of World Records Gaming Edition for winning the most amount of money in a single game.

“Game” meaning the one map match that saw Rocketboy win $125,000 when he beat Fata1ty in Doom 3 at the Great Wall of China. This match took place nearly three years ago, on Oct. 15, 2004.

An interesting note about this match: Yang had to pirate a copy of Doom 3 in order to practice because it wasn’t even available in China at the time. Talk about stacking the odds in America’s favor.
