Richard A. Lewis

Richard A. Lewis (born January 11, 1980), also known as “Dr. Gonzo” on some of the websites he has worked for (a clear nod to Hunter S. Thompson), is one of the leading e-sports & gaming journalists in the United Kingdom.Fact|date=February 2008

Background & Career

He has always remained a freelance writer and has worked for numerous publications and written about a variety of subjects prior to his stint writing about gaming. He edited the little known 1822 for three years, a Welsh satirical magazine published by Lampeter university where he studied under and struck up a close friendship with playwright Dic Edwards. In addition to this he also worked briefly with The Guardian and BBC radio. However it is in gaming that he has made his real mark and continues to do so.

After contributing several pieces to the UK’s leading Counter-Strike website, Source Junky, he found himself nominated for the Electronic Sports League best scene journalist of the year award in 2007 [ [http://www.gotfrag.com/portal/story/38826/ GotFrag eSports - All Games News Story - 2007 eSports Award nominees announced ] ] , mainly in recognition of his much heralded and quoted “Perceptions” series of articles. It was a work he described as a “critical dissertation of the UK and European Counter-Strike scenes [ [http://www.sourcejunky.com/articles/perceptions-chapter-1.html Perceptions - Chapter 1 - SourceJunky - SourceJunky ] ] ” and is often regarded as the best piece of writing on the subject of Counter-Strike in the UK.

His work has appeared on all the major gaming websites across Europe and he has worked for many major gaming organisations including the first international professional gaming league, the Championship Gaming Series.

He has worked for Omega Sektor as their resident chief staff writer and continues to make contributions to numerous publications.

He is one of the founding members of Blue City Project, a collective of poets, writers, artists and other performers based in Birmingham.
