FIFA 19 eSports – News Round-Up
In our weekly round-up here at The Stats Zone, we look at the biggest talking points currently within the FIFA eSports scene. These may range from player transfers, online/offline tournament announcements, tournament results and more.
TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Last weekend saw the conclusion of two domestic competitions. First to conclude was season two of the eSuperliga in Copenhagen, which saw FC Kobenhavn become Danish champions after defeating Brondby in the final. After not having the FIFA 19 season they would have hoped for, this victory will taste incredibly sweet for Agge, Marcuzo and Mads.
