I do not have all of Kenneth WinD Spaziani's list of winnings these I was able to find videos, articles of - he is one of the most successful eSports players starting in 2001 and is currently active - in 2001 John 'Fatal1ty' Wendel added him to his close knit squad of Bootcampers to practice which is cited during WinD's 2013 loss that John shout cast in the best of 3 against 'The King' Pharaoh - Although it was announced that he claimed his 7th world title last week, while his 4th was Unreal Tournament 3 in 2008 - I am unaware of which titles came in between or before.
Also as a last note he holds a record for 10 years or longer playing 5 games per eSports season or more with an overall winning record and % - To be added by Guinness World Records.
Currently is the CEO and In-Game Leader for all of Accelerated Evolution's eSports teams.
Hope this helps... when I saw WinD only had a fighting game tournament on his list and his D was not CAPPED I had to address this and ensure people know of his legacy and his current surge into the upper tier of North American Counter-Strike Global Offensive.
Fatal1ty came up with WinD's catchphrase "WinD0wneD"

He is one of few gamers to be over the 500K total lifetime earnings mark (in winnings, not in endorsements and partnerships)
Give the dude some justice, i have looked up to him for a few years and many have since he placed respectably at a young age at quakecon 2001!
Thank You!

Response To Tip
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Not only can the information you've provided NOT be verified, but the evidence you have provided has been completed fabricated.
I have never heard of this player before until this tip was posted, and the evidence here cannot even stand up to the most basic forms of scrutiny. Upon researching Kenneth Spaziani further, I've discovered some really embarrassing, and outright shameful things about this person, so let me tell you what I found out:
The most shocking thing to me about all this is that you've been lying to other people about this for years. You should be ashamed of yourself. There are more productive and fulfilling things you could be doing with your time. You spend so much time and effort fabricating false evidence about your accomplishments in life. If you had spend that same time and effort making something real and creating value within the gaming community, you probably would have had a genuine nVidia sponsorship.
Let me give you some advice: You need help. Get it before it's too late. And no, I am not a "cyber-bully" or a "cyber-terrorist".

Upon researching Kenneth Spaziani further, I've discovered some really embarrassing, and outright shameful things about this person, so let me tell you what I found out:
- I know that Kenneth "WinD" Spaziani is - in fact - you, the person who submitted this tip.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGbRNMwcXk
The video cuts out the parts near the beginning and end where the commentators would mention the tournament name and where the match is in the bracket. Information on the "CAL Reloaded 2K" is no where to be found anywhere. - https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/10273183_1439588609614276_8549779051237163421_o.png
This screenshot doesn't provide sufficient information... if it were even legit. You somehow won a tournament that happened April 19, yet you're using a screenshot that was taken April 15. - http://area51gaming.com/matches/1112/
You LOST this match vs Area 51 Gaming 16-0. You didn't win anything. Were you trying to prove to me that you suck at CS:GO? Good job. - https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/882053_1439588616280942_7644595993117901652_o.png
You didn't win this tournament. iBUYPOWER won this tournament. Source: https://www.facebook.com/gamegrids/posts/616646175088512 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgiWk3GH0h4 Anyone who has watched DaHanG play knows that your opponent in this video is NOT DaHanG. He moves and shoots like a bot. Add in the fact that, according to the time shown in the video, DaHanG was streaming Overwatch during the match (https://twitter.com/TimFogarty/status/664259584450662400), yeah you definitely weren't playing against him.
- The rest of these "achievements" do not have any sources, mainly because none of these have taken place. Your "esportsify" pages can be manipulated to say whatever you want, but you don't have any independent sources to back up the claims made on these pages. Of course, none of them happened.
- Despite your claims, you are not sponsored by anyone. Did you really think I wouldn't verify this with "your sponsors"?
- You even went as far as to create alternate YouTube accounts to like and comment on your videos. Pretty obvious when the only activity on their accounts are related to you and your videos. Isn't that right, "Lauren Tipton"?
The most shocking thing to me about all this is that you've been lying to other people about this for years. You should be ashamed of yourself. There are more productive and fulfilling things you could be doing with your time. You spend so much time and effort fabricating false evidence about your accomplishments in life. If you had spend that same time and effort making something real and creating value within the gaming community, you probably would have had a genuine nVidia sponsorship.
