Biography

Hey, my name is Nick "n0it" Nowakowski! I'm currently 19 years old, and live in WI where I attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I started gaming at a young age, during the times of Heretic, Duke Nukem, Quake, Warcraft, ETC. I started playing CS for fun with my brother when it first came out. I've always played the game as a hobby, until I helped create verGe Gaming's CSS team. With verGe, I was able to learn to play at a much more professional and serious level. I later left the team after a roster shakeup had occured, and joined up with Forbidden with a few of my verGe teammates. I currently play for Pandemic.

Peripherals

BattlePad DeadZone Edition The BattlePad DeadZone Edition was developed by the members of team DeadZone to be the ultimate cloth surface! It features the same ultra smooth surface as the BattlePad classic but adds some extra room to each end to accomodate all sensitivity players.

Customizable Buttons Get quick access to the media, programs, and files you use most often with customizable buttons. Scroll Wheel Save time and effort with the scroll wheel—navigate documents and Web pages without using the on-screen scroll bar. Additional Features: Three Customizable Buttons 3-Button Mouse SteelSeries 5H v2 SteelSeries 5H v2 is one of the most popular gaming headsets on the planet. This headset has been used by talented gamers to win major international events like Electronic Sports World Cup, World e-Sport Games, World Series of Video Games, Kode 5, World Cyber Games, Samsung Euro Championship, ESL Extreme Masters and many others. When wearing the SteelSeries 5H v2 you'll immediately notice the enormous full-size ear cushions which gently fit around your ears and reduce background noise. The comfort is something that has to be experienced first hand, either at a friends house or at one of the many LAN-centers and Internet cafées that offers the headset to their customers. The headset features a custom-engineered soundscape designed to enhance performance and immersion in FPS-games. This headset was developed and optimized specifically for in-game sound frequencies found in the most popular shooters - making in-game sounds like footsteps, alerts and gunfire especially clear. You will be able to hear and pinpoint the location of your opponents, often before they hear you. The SteelSeries 5H v2 can easily be dismantled into 3 separate parts, that easily fit into a bag or a carrying case. This makes transportation of the headset both easy and safe. The pull-out microphone is practically invisible when not in use. SteelSeries 6G SteelSeries 6G was designed for hardcore RTS-gamers, which means it is extremely responsive, it features very low latency, it is comfortable to use and it is durable. All keys on the SteelSeries 6G are designed to endure a life cycle of up to 60 million keystrokes, all connectors are gold plated with 18K gold to ensure low latency and offers the user fast and reliable response times even when using detailed and advanced key combinations. SteelSeries 6G uses a specially designed buffer system, designed especially for PS/2 - up to 8 different keys can be used simultaneously. The use of PS/2 allows for easy plug-in to tournament computers at LAN-events and helps free up systems with limited USB-ports. Optional PS/2 to USB converter included. To further enhance the look, feel and performance of SteelSeries 6G an extra keyset for all standard sized keys is included in the package. The extra keyset is held in a neutral grey color and helps eliminate the risk of performing unwanted keystrokes in the heat of the game. The mechanical tactile system is ergonomically designed to ensure ease-of-use and the no-click switches makes SteelKeys 6G very comfortable to use. All keys are operated at 65g making the keyboard ideal for long gaming sessions.
