ABIT is dan ook trots om aan te kondigen dat één van deze vier top gamers, genaamd Meng 'RocketBoy' Yang, het voor heeft gepresteerd Fatal1ty te verslaan in een spannende finale. Bij de prijsuitreiking gaf ABITs marketing director Scott Thirlwell het volgende commentaar:
ABIT kondigde, samen met partners Intel, ATi, Kingston, Creative, ViewSonic, Sina en PWX Systems, ook haar nieuwe lijn Fatal1ty gaminghardware aan. Allereerst het Fatal1ty AA8XE moederboard, gebaseerd op Intels 925 chipset. Daarnaast werd ook de Fatal1ty X700XT videokaart geïntroduceerd. Deze hardware werd ook gebruikt op de Shootout."[...]
We are thrilled that China's Best Gamer, RocketBoy, now receives some of the financial recognition that the world's best gamers should be seeing. ABIT's goal in holding the ACON Fatal1ty Great Wall Shootout in China was to bring immediate recognition of gaming to the people of China. ABIT also wanted to bring greater respect for esports, professional gaming competitions and the professional gamers themselves, not only in China but around the world. With this event, I believe we have achieved this.
