Steve “Stune” Embling
One of the fastest racers you'll ever meet
Ever since Steve played on a friend's Playstation when he was ten he knew gaming was for him. Shortly after that he purchased his own Playstation, followed by a PS2, XBox and XBox Live.
PGR2 was the first game Steve played competitively online and he soon wanted more, so he attended his very first gaming tournament in 2005. One lap from the end of the race Steve was leading, but a late mistake pushed him down to second place and cost him a £12,000 car. It was then he knew he had potential in pro gaming, and since that mistake he knew the importance of being consistent as well as fast. Since then Steve has won a vast number of tournaments and was drafted to the Professional CGS team London Mint. Now he plays for Team Dignitas and says he “is looking forward to helping anyone, from those who are competing for the next big gaming event to those who can't keep their car off the grass :) ”

“GBH Mem0ry L0ss”
For in depth knowledge of real time strategy games, look no further than “GBH Mem0ry L0ss”
When Richard “GBH Mem0ry L0ss” Gledhill was 6 yrs old his Dad bought him a Speak & Spell. It broke and his Dad took it back, but when he came home he brought a Spectrum 48k which upset the young Gled as he loved his Speak & Spell. By the time he was 7 years old when he was given a Master System he really got into gaming, playing Alex the Kid. After that Gled owned a NES, then a SNES and he used to play Mario Kart with his friends. Gled has owned every Nintendo console, the Megadrive and a Playstation 1. He got an original XBox when they came out and went online as soon as the service was available with his gamertag Mem0ry L0ss, playing Halo2.
The first strategy game Gled ever played was Starcraft on the PC, then Command & Conquer. He didn't own a PC but used to play at a friend's house. Despite not being able to put in the hours he might if he'd had a PC at home he managed to get to 365th in the world on Command & Conquer Red Alert 2! He has played every version of Command & Conquer, every RTS on the XBox360 and has been in the top 100 on them all. Because of his reputation in RTS gaming he was invited to take part in clan competitions by a number of clans and got to know the top British players. He decided to start a clan of British Players in 2006 and invited those top players to join GBH, so for the first time he changed his gamertag - to GBH Mem0ry L0ss.
