BACKGROUND
The eChampions League is a new FIFA eSports competition run by UEFA in partnership with EA Sports. The tournament is an official part of the FIFA 19 Global Series, where FIFA players compete not only for prize money, but to earn official Global Series points. These points help the players rise up the Global Series Rankings, giving them a better chance of qualifying for the 2019 FIFA eWorld Cup.
ROAD TO THE FINALS
In a bid to book their place at the inaugural eChampions League finals, FIFA players from all over the world competed in an online qualification bracket exclusively on PlayStation 4. From this bracket, a total of 64 players qualified for the eChampions League group stage in Manchester. This was the first offline part of the competition. All 64 players battled it out in a Swiss Style group stage format, which saw 32 players make it through to the knockout stages. They were placed in a seeded knockout bracket and began competing with the Round of 32. The victorious players moved on to the Round of 16, with the eight winning players officially qualifying for the eChampions League finals in Madrid.
