Call of Duty: World At War #1 Player is Ubisoft’s New Frag Doll

Author: Split-Screen Filed under: Gaming News and Reportage 24 Responses

cover_pic The Frag Dolls, Ubisoft’s all-girl pro-gamer team, was initially regarded as yet another sex-in-advertising gimmick. That is until they got gals with names like Seppuku and Valkyrie who play a mean round of Soul Calibur and Halo. Their latest roster edition could easily be their most bad-ass (in a cute and totally dateable way) Doll to date.

fidget-3 Meet Lanai Gara aka Fidget. She’s from Oregon, 5′8″, naturally brown and once played Counterstrike for 21 hours straight. The NES got her hooked on gaming, her favourite title being Duck Hunt. Call of Duty 4 became her main addiction in 2007 and with COD World at War, she decided to take her skills further. She became #5 in the world on the Beta in FFA. With the game’s release, she quickly shot to #1 in the world before becoming a Frag Doll at E3 2009. During this period, she also co-founded Team V Gaming (the ‘V’ corresponding to her previous handle – Ms. Vixen), a 120-person strong team.

fidget-2 As she recounts on her FD blog:

“When I found out about the Frag Dolls I knew I had to apply and see what would happen. To make sure I was ready for whenever they announced a Casting Call, I made a point of proving that girls can play at the top by earning #1 in the world in Free for All on Call of Duty World at War. While playing Call of Duty through the wee hours of the night, I formed a team called Team V Gaming which had about 120 players at our peak. Together we ran through the leader boards, taking out one big name after another. Managing Team V Gaming gave me the experience to better understand gaming communities and the competitive edge gained through team work.”

You can head to her official blog to read more about her (as well as to the origins of her new handle). Or just admire her admittedly pretty pics. Decisions, decisions.

	Would love a challenge.June 29th, 2009 at 7:38 pm Would love to have played a Frag Doll on cod4 free for all…I won 120 games out of 124 at one point and maintained a 4 to 1 kill ratio I was formerly the number 3 best cod1 player in the world on base assault on all servers….cod 5 sucks though because it’s made for campers.
	BradJune 29th, 2009 at 8:59 pm Definately cool. This is how “girl gaming” needs to represented. I like boobs as much as the next guy. But in regards to gaming, “boobs(with no skills)” has traditionally been a marketing tool that is both an insult to guy gamers intelligience, and social status (Like we are all a bunch of f**kin basement dwellars that have never seen a nice rack before). More power to this gamer chic, we need more like her.
	jonJune 29th, 2009 at 9:50 pm if the #1 was a guy nobody care; but when its a girl they all say “wow” i don’t think this news are matter to any one … so she play COD so what ?! you want a madle ? for picking up the controller ? if you play 21 hour CS you have no life, even if you a girl you just a tomboy a man (a boy) in a girl body that’s all ..
	GuyverJune 30th, 2009 at 1:39 am SHE HOT!
	necronzeroJune 30th, 2009 at 2:32 am Fucken ugly girl -_- a fucking spit to my eyes…
	AlanJuly 1st, 2009 at 7:20 am I checked and she only plays Core and not Hardcore. How am I supposed to take anyone seriously that doesn’t play Hardcore. She probably uses the MP-40 with jugger-noob.
	MarkJuly 2nd, 2009 at 11:54 am The only thing I care about girls is if they are pretty or have a nice @ss, not the case of this dike. And what’s this of girls playing video game be news? Like the guy said, who gives a fuck….
