I met Jonny “Humanbomb” Cheng back in 2009 in a table-top gaming and arcade shop but didn’t know who he was at the time. He was playing Street Fighter IV with members of OzHadou, and I took the opportunity to get some game tips off them for an upcoming media tournament (that I lost very badly). While the tips were good, I probably should have asked Jonny for advice because, well, he’s the best Street Fighter IV player in Australia.
He’s the captain of Australia’s undefeated and undisputed Call of Duty: Black Ops competitive gaming team. Today, we speak to Taylor “Mauseum” Mills, who leads Archaic’s highest ranked Search And Destroy team.
