Unreal Tournament Players Profiles Podcast #7 | Featuring eVeNfloW (by DVP OSKR)

Nicholas “eVeNfLoW” McCabe is a former Unreal Tournament pro player from New Zealand. Active in the early 2000s, he became one of the top duelers of the classic UT scene. His biggest achievement came at the World Cyber Games 2002, where he took 3rd place worldwide, earning $5,000 and putting New Zealand on the Unreal Tournament map. Known for his calm aim and fast reflexes, eVeNfLoW battled legends like GitzZz and Stryfeus, representing the Oceanic region at the highest level. After the mid-2000s, he quietly disappeared from the competitive scene, but among old-school UT fans, his name still carries serious respect.
