Team X3O was interviewed recently in the Montgomery County Maryland Gazette Newspaper.

Nick Fitzsimmons, Ryan "NineSpot" Bell and Tarik "rockyte" Elkhatib were interviewed by Patrick Dunne of the Montgomery County Gazette newspaper this past week. The interview was about their lives as professional gamers, and how they got started in the business.

Directly quoted from the article:
"Like many young adults, 23-year-old Ryan Bell of Gaithersburg and 21-year-old Tarik Elkhatib, of Fairfax, Va., play video games to have fun and unwind. But, unlike typical amateur gamers, these guys get paid for it.

Bell and Elkhatib are part of Team X3O, a competitive team of video game players who travel the country and compete for cash prizes.

The team, made up of five men ages 19 to 25 who live in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and California, gets its name from X3O, the North Bethesda video game center that serves as its headquarters. X3O is a gaming center where players rent time on 23 computers and several XBox and Playstation consoles that are connected by a single network, allowing players to play against each other."
