I heard I was supposed to do some content
Where is she?
Who's ready for some culture?
Oh my God.
Are you excited?
What is this?
Do you think you can do it?
No, stop.
I'm cringing to death.
I'm dead.
I'm dead.
You ready to cringe even harder?
All right, Charlie.
Look there.
Introducing double kick.
Kill me immediately.
I don't think that I am well equipped to teach you how to properly dance the can-can.
So luckily we brought in Billy, our fabulous can-can instructor!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Cure the music!
Do you want me to just provide a acapella backing track?
Oh my god!
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
Can you do any of that?
The last move where she put her foot
all the way above her head.
But I think I can hit that pretty easily.
Okay, be careful though,
because it can be very dangerous.
We're a league of legends players, we're used to danger.
I'm in a physical prime.
Let's do this.
The first move is called the Mayonnaise.
Oh my gosh.
And that's like the move that you do
when you mix the Mayonnaise.
Oh, the Mayonnaise.
We cook it.
This is literally patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time.
This is really hard to do. Wait, I, I, okay, hold on.
Wait.
And now, high kick!
Oh dear lord.
High kick!
Up, down, up.
Yeah, that might have on the side of my, my, my front head.
Yes.
What?
Yeah, yes, yes.
I think we got this.
We're almost hitting 90 degrees with that high kick.
I think we're pretty good at this.
Yeah, I know, right?
Are you full?
Not real?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, not in that case.
If I go all out, I would definitely,
I'd go actually pass.

No, it's a very weird question to ask a woman.
No.
Did your mother teach you your manners?
I think a woman and men are the same.
In what way?
I can ask you anything that you can ask me.
People's worth the same.
When's your next monthly cycle?
That doesn't have anything to do with your age.
Hold up, hold up.
We just said that we can ask each other
the same questions as men and women.
I'm not able to answer that.
All right, well, let's move on.
You recently became sponsored by Red Bull.
You can see it on your shirt.
Yes.
Is that because being over 30,
drinking it is the only way that you could stay awake?
I'm not gonna get rage-baited by that.
It's fine, why do you think that's a rage bait?
Your attitude.
My attitude?
Yes.
just the way my face looks. Now Red Bull says that you were quote considered by
the vast majority of fans to be one of the most charismatic professional
players in the esports scene. By majority of fans, did they just mean your mom?
I'm, it doesn't mean what? Sorry, I didn't auto dub it. Red Bull says that you were
quote considered by the vast majority of fans to be one of the most
charismatic professional players in the scene but by majority of fans did they
just mean your mom? Oh that's a lame one. Your mom is lame? No my mom is not. That's
incredibly rude she gave life to you. Yes yes yes but no no no I mean it's a
lame question. It's a very lame question. I'll be sure to let our writers know.
Yeah. Do it.
Look straight into the camera and tell our writer that you just don't think he's doing a very good job.
You probably chat GPT the question or something.
You need to do your research.
You're the owner of Club Otakar.
I'm glad that you could come to EWC, but why didn't you bring your club with you?
Because we're starting. We're new.
We have only a Valorant team and we need more to compete in the rankings and everything.
Is that just your way of saying that you're broke?
Did you turn to team ownership in the hopes of being less unsuccessful?
Less unsuccessful?
I mean, can your club beat any team that is not named LK?
That's a good one.
That's actually a good one.
You did your research there.
We can.
We've done it.
Alright, well let's talk a little bit more about you, alright?
When you retired from gaming to go into streaming, was it tough to transition from a job playing
playing video games all day, to a job playing video games all day, poorly?
No, it wasn't.
A challenge frightens you?
No.
Now, we have had our fun, but I do have one final serious question for you if that's okay.
When you eat oatmeal, do you prefer it to be lumpy, or do you mix well?
I don't eat oatmeal, I just eat, um, tortilla.
Tortilla?
Yeah.
It's like a...
It's like we almost invented tortillas.
No, but not that kind.
I lived in California as well, but you're talking about something else.
Talking about like Taco Bell, right?
No.
You mix the eggs.
No, you get this from the supermarket.
It's flat.
It looks like a frisbee.
You could chuck it.
No, no, no.
That's the Mexican tortilla.
It's not a Spanish one.
Who came first?
Yo, I'm done.
Can I leave or no?
But hold up.
We still have a couple more.
So this is the champion here.
Guess he doesn't mix well with others.
Liquid is the defending champion here for EFC at EWC.
Alongside Falcons and Vitality, they are the three biggest
organizations battling it out for the club championship points.
When we're looking at the current standings ahead of today,
Falcons is sitting pretty comfortably in that top nine spot,
but sure on that 12th and the rest of liquid as well as vitality lying behind
towards the bottom of the leaderboard. Today is known to be absolutely crucial
in terms of determining which one of these club championship point
organizations will be able to get the most amount of points considering that
when we're looking at the other stages they're not doing too hot either.
The Esports World Cup. The most elite competition in the world. Its trophy
system is built to match. The club championship trophy awarded to the one
club that rose above the rest and reigned supreme across all EWC games.
Every participant earns a key engraved with their name. That's their right to
compete. Reigning champions hold a key unlike any other. The game trophy is the
The ultimate prize for every game's champion, incomplete until a champion's key is inserted.
The champion's key frame is locked into the Togo, a stone marker of legacy, etched with
every EWC champion.
The losing keys are crushed.
The champion claims three, a personal reminder of who they defeated.
The rest are preserved beneath the totem in resin.
Every fallen contender captured forever.
Will you be remembered?
Or forgotten beneath the totem?
At EWC, nothing is granted.
Play is earned.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City, powered by play.
I'm here!
Welcome back to the FC 26 World Championship.
We are live in Paris at EWC.
We're 32 of the best players in the world have made it out
to fight for their lives in our competition.
We're still in league play.
At the end of tonight, we'll be setting home 12 players.
We'll also, I'll be crushing some keys.
Welcome in our very special guest.
I'm your host Chris, playing alongside FG and Shells.
And Shells, I want to start with you.
World championship, good chance to crush some keys today,
but also you want to avoid having your dreams crushed.
What is the tension like in this venue?
This is going to be unpredictable.
This is what we've been waiting for, of course.
We were meant to see some action yesterday,
but we're going to see a lot more people going on today,
people's careers, their future, their tournament,
all the season, all the things they've hardly worked for
all season long comes down to today.
I can't wait to see what happens.
F2, your dress is a hit man.
We are going to be taking people out all day.
Anyone that is in your target right now,
do you have anyone that you think
is probably already out of the tournament?
Yeah, unfortunately it's hard not to look
right at the bottom of the
standings, which we will see
in a moment. Of course, I
mean, it's not looking great
for the two players. Indeed,
when Danny Pitbull at the
bottom, we'll do some some
working out here throughout
the day. One thing for certain
a lot is going to change in
that league standing. There's
players who are fighting still
for a chance to get in that 24
some that can still get in the
top eight players that can come
out of the top eight come out
of the 24. This is the day of
We're here for the league play and we finish in the next few hours. You're just joining us though. Let's take a look at how all works
Welcome back to another FC pro 26 world championship at the eSports World Cup
The players have fought their way here throughout the season and are all ready to take to the pitch in the culmination of all their efforts
The first stage of the tournament will be played in a league format
Meaning your classic groups are switched out with an all-out brawl where anyone can try them prior to the tournament
every player has been assigned one of six different pools based on their seating. Each player will
then face one player at random from each pool, meaning each player will face six opponents
during the league stage. Every win is equal to three points, a draw awards a single point,
and a loss results in no change in points at all. Missing out on just a single point could mean
the end of the road, as it's only the eight highest scoring players who will find themselves
straight through to the round of 16, while places 9 to 24 are left to fight for their lives in the
knockout round playoffs. In case of a draw between any amount of players, the
tiebreakers will kick in in order as listed on screen. The playoffs are a
high intensity, all cards on the table, single elimination bracket. One screw up
and it's lights out and your key is getting crushed. Once the survivors of
the initial round of knockout matches are found, they will face the top eight
from the league stage, continuing to be only one loss away from going out of the
tournament. From here on out, it's all eyes on the prize as every player fights
for their survival one matchup at a time for that one chance to take home the
$250,000 first place prize the trophy and the title of EAFC 26 pro world
championship winner see you on the pitch
so pretty simple stuff over a million dollars on the line you got to make it
through league play to survive and of course we'll be whittling down the
competition single elimination bracket FG you were quoted at the start of day
you're going to be able to
play the game. You're going to
be able to play the game. You
can play one that this is your
favorite format you've seen
yet. Yeah, and I'll tell you
one thing. I also love it is
the crushing of the keys. I
mean, it is quite ruthless.
But I enjoy that. But that is
so fun that we get later on in
the rounds where the actual
player who eliminates you
crushes the key. So we're
going to reignite some more
rivalries here. It's going to
be a fun day, but an
unpredictable one. Absolutely
in shells. Of course, there's
some serious money along the
$50,000 is up for grabs if you win it all.
But if you even make it out of league play,
you're getting $12,500.
Yeah, of course, we look at the prize pool.
I mean, the players are getting 10 grand
just for making it to the vet.
I mean, if that was happening on my day,
I would have been going home with a little smile on my face.
But of course, $250,000 for the first place.
That's what the players want,
but of course the trophy as well.
That's what we really want.
You're playing for the trophy.
You're playing for the title of best player on the planet.
And of course, you're playing for your club here at EWC.
Let's take a look at the huge money on the line in our club championship.
The club at the top walks away with 7 million dollars in the title of best e-sports club.
It's not about being the best at one game, it's about being the best across all of it.
Death, versatility, consistency and depression.
One championship trophy, one title.
Who will take it?
Watch history unfold in Paris at the eSports World Cup 2026.
There's so much money on the line and you know that is adding pressure to one man in the competition.
He goes by the name of M.S. Tussari.
He is the chairman of the Falcons and the Falcons coming in this week are without a win.
That is totally different from what we saw last year, gentlemen,
because the Falcons in week one walked away with a war zone victory.
That set them up for their second club championship in a row shells. Yeah, of course, but Falcons have got and this and the most ms
Sorry, which is ugly kind of one of the best combinations you can get you got the best player in the game
And then a boss who's been around the scene for many years now
Of course, they need to try and get a title win an FC. They got a very good chance
They got team liquid that go up against Anna by telling you boys, but anything can happen
And of course the Falcons aren't the only ones looking for club championship points liquid is still looking for their first FG
Yeah, liquid are but they've got five players here in FC. So from their perspective, they have to get points in this club championship.
We just saw it in the explainer then seven million dollars for the organization that wins the club championships.
I mean, it's not bad at all. MS to sorry is taking matters into his own hands as well. It's kind of a little bit of a split.
I say with the vitality boys, you've got the home nation, the French boys that if they can make it to Sunday, they can have a lot of support from the crowd.
You've got MS Astara and Anders, who argue maybe the best player with Anders Verga, but
Team Liquid, they've got four hitters where, listen, I wouldn't be complaining about them
guys in my team.
Guys, we caught up with their biggest hitter, Manu, who of course won last year's championship
at EWC.
Here's what he had to say coming into the competition.
Right guys, we're here at the absolutely beautiful total with of course the reigning
World Champion Manu Bashoori, how does it feel to be back on this stage and all of its glory?
You see your name up there. Yeah, it feels good. Of course, my name up there between all the
champions gives me motivation and hopefully I can take it into my next game that I play against
Samo. Now let's talk about the last couple days of competition. First day went really,
really well for you. Last day, not so much. You had a loss and a draw. And so what was the
difference between the two days? How are you feeling after those two days of performances?
I think the second day I started off a bit worse. I think I lost the game at the start of
against Hazards and against Ileon I just went up two goals the whole time and in
the end it was a draw so I was really angry with myself for letting it happen at
the same time. I think I'm on seven points now which is still good if I win both games.
I'll be through to the top eight which is the main objective so let's go for that.
Now you are tenth in the rankings right now so what is the main focus is it the
top eight or is it just making sure that you secure that top 24? Well in this
game there's only winning and losing you can't even play for a draw so I can
going to the next game with them winning. If we win that game, we're looking to top 8. If we lose
that game, then we'll all be about making sure that the top 24 is secured. But I'm looking for the
Samu game, trying to win and get into the top 8. All right, Manu. Well, thank you so much. I'll
let you get back to those preparations games right around the corner. Thanks so much.
Manu versus Samu Gamer could be one to look out for. And as you can see, Team Liquid not even on
our first screen. If you're looking for the leaders, well, Navi is in the front spot. You
got Vitality number two and AGAL out of China is holding the third spot on our podium. But
there's a number of huge dogs in this fight, including the Falcons at number 10. You're
going to see T one in action, of course, in a number of titles this weekend. And as we
continue boys in the club championship rankings, you can see quite a few clubs are sitting on
less than 500 point shells. You got some work to do if you're liquid wolves. Look, so any
Yeah, but anything can change after one game. Of course, a team liquid. They had money, but you're picking up a year
ESC title last year two years in a row for money, but you're so anything can happen team because results can change quickly after this after this event
FG anyone on this list you expect to calm the rankings outside of liquid because we have four more weeks here at EWC
I mean you be silly to back against last year's winners one your falcons
I mean there's so much still to play for if Andersberg and does do something that many people
expect him to do and it's to win here they'll get a thousand points in the clip jump. Speaking of
Anders he had some tough matchups how did he perform in the last time we saw him in league
playshelves? Yeah of course Anders we see him with Anders I feel like the drama never stops he's either
even when he's winning this drama even when he's losing this drama but he is the best player in
the world he didn't really capitalize on day two of the event but he's still in a good position
for day three to make it to knock us and I'll be sure when we see an Andersberg in the knockout
How he was able to jump out to nine points with the win over the Falcon a huge start for that young man
And of course, he wasn't the only one scoring in day two of weak play FJ as we take a look at some of the best moments
There's been some chirping on the stage. There's been some handshakes refused. Is the drama brewing or is this just a normal day at
The office here for FC. I mean you could argue we've not seen any of the drop today
It's going to be the day where the pressure for these players goes up an absolute load.
Not only to get into the next 24, but we've got to knock out a little later on.
And that is where it's due our eye in that situation.
If you don't win, you're going home.
We're going to see some keys crushed here in Paris.
Shell's coming into this match.
Nasada was leading everyone in goals.
Levy Finn with nine points of his own.
This was the showdown of the day.
First one to win is going to get 12 points.
How did this one play out?
Yeah, Levy Finn, he managed to sit on 12 points.
He's coming into the tournament as one of the best Germans.
I guess maybe a lot of people are looking at Anders,
and he looked at his teammates, Levy Finn,
Alian Lyon and Umer.
I guess most of the spotlight is always on them,
but Levy Finn has been fantastic this tournament.
Sitting on 12 points in the prime position, in pole position,
I think this would be a good chance for him to make a name for himself.
Well, this is the surprise of the day,
Hezards versus Manu.
I mean, Hezards is a hole,
unbeaten throughout the whole tournament,
so I'm not sure whether it's a surprise
based on how he's been playing.
He's been absolutely amazing.
He's put himself in a fantastic position,
currently third in the league standings.
He is facing Nassada in his first match as well.
We go, wow, incredible matchups today.
Nassada, by the way, he's in fifth position.
So it is two players in the top eight
looking to secure their spots.
Here in the STC Rewind,
you can see the big pressure is on Breeze.
Now Breeze had two draws in the opening day.
That left him with just two points.
Wilkin for three, going up against Umet,
who is also in our bottom 12, both these players starting to feel the pressure of elimination shells.
Yeah, Breeze, Lossier has run and rocked in the World Championship.
So I think he has a lot to prove for himself.
He's in his home country, so he does want to do by Cali proud.
You can see in the club championships, how well they're doing.
So, Breeze, he did make it to the final loss here.
Can he go once that further, win it all?
But he has to try and redeem himself in the group stage and get himself into the knockout.
FG, one of the surprises of the day.
Emery, after taking down the Falcon Anders in day one, struggling against Ph Zinnin crew.
He's gonna leave in the bottom 12. Yeah, he's on four points right now. Emre Yilmaz and he's got a game against Virgil
I mean essentially you could say being on four points if he wins his two games
He ends up on ten does that mean top eight has gone most probably but for a man like Emre Yilmaz
I expect him to find a way today. He's got an interesting fixture
We said Virgil first and then he's got a nice to sorry
He spoke about him quite a bit at the top of the show that is some fixture to
To have to get something from if you need it
We got to welcome a very special guest onto the show now as we take a look at our standings.
It's the man sitting next to Levy then along the way.
Doctor, how has this tournament been treating you so far?
I mean, we can't complain, okay?
With Levy, we're sitting top of the table.
We have two players in the top eight, so good day so far, but hopefully an even better weekend.
So did you expect 12 points coming out of the opening two days of action,
or what was kind of the goal that you've been setting for your four players?
I mean, I wouldn't say expecting, obviously coping, always.
Expecting, I think, with LVFIN we go especially into the Nassada game, having history between both players.
Having in mind, okay, we could maybe lose this game, but compensate in the rest.
But I think LVFIN has been exceptional, whether it's goal difference, whether it's attacking, whether it's defending, has been really, really good.
And I'm really proud of him.
FG, walk us through these standings right now, because we are closing out League play with two more rounds.
two more rounds. Everyone will
play two more games to get three
for a win. One for a draw, zero
for a loss. Yeah, absolutely. I
mean, I mean, I guess the
talking point in this is Emory
Ilmas currently on 20 25th
position, but the man beside me
will be absolutely delighted.
Levy Finn. We touched on him
arguably the best player here
long time. Matty Banana 100%
record absolutely flying. Um it
as well for RB likes that is a
man who's inevitable. He's
being in the scene for so, so
long and must be a joy to work
about RB Leipzig and the work you do away.
I mean, because a lot of eSports organizations,
they take it, they don't, sorry,
not many eSports organizations take it
as serious as you guys.
Do you think in competitions like this,
you're reaping the benefit of the hard work you do
throughout the season?
Definitely, I think we have very good players
that also step up when they need to.
We were one pound to shoot out and one game away
from having two more players at the World Cup.
So I think it just shows the level of this team.
I think they all pull each other forward.
If one player is just good,
someone else wants to do just as good.
So having more than half of the roster at the World Cup
is already a huge achievement,
but we're aiming for the top of this thing.
Obviously, you already have one player in that top spot.
So things are going well.
Let's take a look at how you got to that top spot
because Aljahan was also sitting on nine points.
This was a showdown to find out who was gonna climb
to the top of the totem pole.
and then of course the battle
gets out. Walk me through these
games to prep for individual
opponents. Are you talking to
him to just place own game? What's
the strategy coming in? I think
at this level you have to do a
bit of both. It's on us as
coaches to prepare the players
for their opponents, and it's on
us and the player themselves to
bring out their best game when
the time comes and having the
opponent adapt us rather than
vice versa. And I think every
player has so far has been able
to do that. And that which I
mean, this week about and is
I mean, the sneak around is your old teammate that used to play for your team. And of course, I guess he has a bit of a viral alien lie in the youth, the new one, the kid in all your life, so he's doing a great tournament so far.
Coming from a coach's point that used to work for Anders, what is your kind of, I guess, opinion on the beef between the two? Is it a little bragging rice? Is there actually a beef between the alien? Because he seems like he's a nice kid.
He just wants to get his wins and go home. But is there actually a little beef between them?
I mean, I am also at this point hugely biased for all these reasons, but I do think it's
maybe there's maybe some beef rather one-sided I would say, but I think that's also the nature
of Anders. I also don't think you get to the top without having that kind of attitude.
So it's to be expected and I think it's fun also for the viewers.
How much input do you have as a coach when things like that happen, when words are exchanged,
when social media posts are posted, etc. Do you have an impact in that? Do you sort of
speak to Alian about that? I mean, I'm sure that they all thrive on it. You get the impression
that they have their own feelings. I mean, when there's a lot spoken about it motivates
them a little bit extra.
I think it kind of depends on the player. Some get motivated by it, some get thrown
out of the game. I think Alihan is one of those that just focuses on himself. He just
plays his game, scores his goals, and he does this thing, right? There's no beef, there's
no oil feelings on his side, or even if there is, he doesn't show them. He's a really good
kid and there's nothing more to say to him rather than just do your thing.
doesn't really show any emotion like he just said shells so from your perspective if you were going up against a man who not
Only is known as the wonder kid and he's not giving you anything back when you're trying to try to you know
Get in his head a little bit. What do you do? I mean everyone should know me when I used to play I used to be terrified
So if I had Adam is screaming at me, I'll be pretty much in tears mid game. I'm 27 years. I didn't line
I mean might need to take some tips from him because he does look dialed in
Well, such a young kid is like he come here to do a job and I think with him with that kind of killer instinct
You can go and win it all. I love it when someone's barking at you. You just reply with okay
They can't do anything about it more frustration. You guys walked away with the win doing so you are now at 12 points
What is it going to take though to reach the top eight because if you finish in the top eight at the end of the week
Play you are guaranteed top 16 in serious cash here at EWC. I think I don't want to say too big of a word
I think things also the goal difference
We should pretty much have top 8 if not guaranteed and at least have a lot of things need to go against us to not make it
Right. We're obviously aiming for the 18 points like the number one spot
I think it gives you huge advantage at the same time. I've always been of the opinion
It's also good to taste losses. Yeah stages. So when you go in knockouts, you kind of know how to deal with adversity
At the same time at this point maybe is experienced enough to know okay
Even if I win even if I lose that doesn't really change my attitude my confidence
So I think we just play our game and just hope to continue that momentum later today speaking of your game
I know you got to get ready for that before you go though
This is your camera go ahead and address anyone that's been supporting you and your team along the way
I mean at this point is probably the the friends the family the life to plan
So thank you for the sport and we hope to bring the title home Dr. Knight watch
Sorry, which doctor getting it all done and last thing before you go. How many of your players are getting into?
Top 8 top 16 all the way
Here we go. Thank you very much. I know you got to go dr. Nightwatch will be watching you and levy finn
Who is on top of the leaderboard in just a moment shells though?
We got to talk about some of the players who are at the bottom of the leaderboard biggest surprise coming in today for in your eyes
I mean, I'm looking at both obron and me. I think need came through the planes and I know very well
He's a top-top player. I think he's got to play against red like and pason. I mean red likes to in on one point
I think for me. That's a good. I guess being to start off with just to try and on paper
He should be winning it on terms of form, but then he's got to try and be piecing who's redeeming yourself off the day
So I think it's a big day for me because he can't turn around for Obron. He's got big idea line
He's in a one point. He needs to win that let's talk about that
That is our PlayStation 5 story of the day FG two players to watch Emery over on both in a struggle bus position
Right now do they both make it forward? Yeah, I mean it well
I would like to hope so for the competitions. I mean to have two big names out over memory omas
We want to see it when we're here on the cast is that one thing to say Emory Elmas on four points right now
He's got two games where I think he will get points from so I think Auburn's got the harder task today
Okay, based on where he's at and I would love to see it and I wouldn't back against it
I mean interestingly enough we spoke yesterday about not having that day of play for for reasons
Do you think shells that has helped open maybe a little bit more of a rest?
You know just to prepare a little bit more mentally take a bit of time away from the screens for a day
Do you think that could potentially help him? I think as a player
Yeah, I think it would definitely help especially Obran. He had a poor day one and day two
So I think he's everyone's allowed to have an extra day to reset and I think if things go well
You want to keep on playing so I think every player can use it as a as an advantage
But for Obran, I think he knows he has got a job to do and he's
We see him and associate with women all the time. So maybe the extra day rest has helped him
Let's take a look at some of the big matches in this one.
Samu vs. Manu, that's the one, of course,
we're looking at the top left.
In the bottom left, you've got Jeff Bonzo,
2024 champ taking on the guy that has won four tournaments
already this year, looking to make it five for five.
Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna take that away from that
for a second quickly and talk about catcher games,
Milka Love.
Yes, as we spoke about Milka Love,
he was the lowest ranked player,
or he is the lowest ranked player here.
He had a fantastic day, won six points,
lost two games yesterday.
He's playing Alian Lyon later on, and Capture is playing Nicholas later on.
They're both on six points right now, Shells.
To get in to the qualification zone, you'd say they need at least seven points.
Will they be happy with the draw because that last fixture for both of them could be Duadai?
This could be a real story point, because Milkilove could be the one who gets six points on his first date
and doesn't even make it into the third year in ZIN.
Yeah, I mean, it's quite hard because you don't want to really plan and think about ahead.
You want to think about the games in front of you.
But for Milk Love and Cascio, they're definitely looking at each other.
This is a game where I'm most likely the easiest on paper to get the three points
because they know the next matchup will be full in both.
It could be very hard, but they want to get the job done.
So why not do it in the first round?
I was looking through the numbers.
Emery Yomas is at number 25.
Remember only the top 24 make it through out of league play.
So he is on the losing side of that cutoff right now.
If you win though, he's at four points.
He'll be at seven.
That jumps him up into like 13th place, FG.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, the margins are quite high.
If you get three points, you're off to a fantastic start.
Play like Emory Yilmaz.
He gets a win.
He'll be relaxed.
He's super confident anyway, as it is.
Expect him to probably get the job done here.
And the Emory Yilmaz story will probably
be that he makes it to the knockouts.
Ladies and gentlemen, I just looked behind me,
and the stage is full.
It is time to get in the games here at EWC.
Continues today, too, as we get into league play
with all of your favorite players.
Nobody is safe here in Bacchusen!
Love it to be, I see those names.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, that class is unbelievable.
Look at that.
We're now on the day of action where we'll be seeing eliminations and players advancing
to the knockout stage. I'm
rampant so I joined by my very
good friend and Spanish champion,
Graveson. That BT pretty much
captured everything that you may
have missed, but if you're
joining us now on this day of
action, of course, where the
technical pause yesterday, that
was out of our hands, but we
have six incredible matches
coming up here, Graveson, where
the stakes are so high.
It seems like throughout the
whole tournament, we've seen
players adapt to the gameplay.
We've seen them go back and
forth with tactics, with players,
with players and for me I know we chatted about this before Ryan I don't see a
clear favorite to win the tournament but I feel like after today we will have
both of these a couple of them it's where the players thought to pull away a
little bit obviously we'll be seeing the first stage of the knockouts later today
but round five and six future Samu Gamer up against Manitbichuri, Brice up
against Nicholas, Smokey on your screen up against the unbeaten Levy Finn
World Champion, Jeffonzo, 2024, EWC World Champion against Anders Berger, SC Pro, 24
World Champion, that is a massive game.
Emre Yilmaz up against Virgil, Katja against Milka Love.
We'll try and keep you up to date with all the action as it unfolds.
You spoke about dealing with different things, Graves, and how would the players deal with
a delay, not only a delay in terms of 10 minutes or so, but a whole day where they would have
been preparing, trying to get up for it, and it didn't go that way.
How would they be feeling in this moment?
It is a tough one because you know that you've got to be prepared for a lot of matches today.
So I think it favourites the younger players, the professional players, and we are on the way with Samu Gamer against Manu Basar, right?
to not date if you are joining us now. Manu is on seven points. He's only lost coming against
Tezos, where he lost seven, six. Samu Gamer is on nine points, currently joint with all the players
in fourth position. Obviously, gold difference separates him, puts him sixth based on that.
They all have the same goal difference, but he's only lost against Abhimacca was three one. He's
been very, very strong. And he's starting off hot here going forward. But fortunately for
Manu, but you're in team liquid, he's able to get possession. This is a great match. I mean,
We've all heard Shells talking about the master of the Dark Hearts.
From some gamer, let's see how he's able to play today, because at ECL I thought that his defense was great,
with the way he's second on present, with the way he's trying to go backwards with the wings as well.
Of course, on the off-and-side of things, and especially with the player locks, he seems unstoppable.
So let's see if he's able to defend as well as he did in the ECL and, of course, on day one as well.
It's finished shot. That didn't manage to get enough angle to trouble the keeper.
Speaking about player Lodge-Gravison, how easy...
What's that easy? Oh, difficult in fairness.
When you're defending, what are the things you're prioritising?
Is it the player in possession or the player that he's selected?
I'll hold on a second as that attack comes to a close.
You can see the stats there on the screen,
mainly in favour of the Manipulchoy ways as high average shots, average percentage shots on ball possession in favour for Manipulchoy there.
I would say that I really like the...
for them I think they're two really effective players.
They don't need a lot of shots to score goals and coming back to the thing you ask.
I would say it's more about
where the ball can get in second.
So when I'm defending I'm not thinking about
where my opponent is holding the ball or where
the players making the run and thinking, where is this play going to be in the second?
And that's the way I like to defend. That's why I think you should always use the second one press
to try to cover as much space as possible.
And that's why I think the intercept playstyle is so effective at the moment.
An important win there. High up the pitch for Samu Gaming.
You can see the players he's selected as part of his draft.
You've got Sancho, you've got the young midfield.
to get the pass over to do
where he gets an old driven.
That's the footwork place.
That kicks in and it leads to a
corner. Interesting way to.
Take a corner here, grab us and
we've seen different versions
of corners on FC 26 this year
is beautifully worked. We can't
find space.
on FC 26 this year, it's beautifully worked, we can't find space.
Now we're getting a chance for a counterattack, you can see it might be through for a past,
but the players switching, it's really precise from some gamer.
I did have a pleasure to talk with Nicholas after day two.
He told me he changed his whole team from day one to day two.
And I feel like that's something that we will see a lot.
That used to remind me of tournaments that we used to play in, where you'd have a bad day one
or even one game, you're able to just change the team straight away, but
obviously with the draws, you have to stick in, we'll see if there's an opportunity here for Manny to break the deadlock.
Oh my goodness, that is a shocking attempt.
That's the bit of the rust where he hasn't played for a day or so. That's what it is right there.
That's a lot of work to measure. I mean, he hasn't played for 30 hours, I would say.
So of course, now a chance for a counterattack.
Jude Benham, which has the low Trudon playstyle. No, because for a normal shot to make it
one, Neil, someone gamer scores the first goal of Jude Benham.
the game. I'm not sure if you
know what I'm saying. I'm not
sure if you know what I'm
saying. Hey, Jude. That is.
Sort of epitomizes there one
end of the spectrum. You
should be scoring. Man should
be one little and it shows how
ruthless it can be. Straight
down the other end. Sammy
Gamer takes the lead and it's
something where mentality is
going to come here to prevail
because you need to forget that
moment. Obviously there are other
games going on as well. And the
key one. The team vitality fans
needs points and he goes to
up. It stays like that. He'll
be on eight points and Nicholas
will still be on seven so you
could probably kiss goodbye to
top eight. It is a similar
start to the one in which they
play last year at the quarter
finals of the Super Bowl
Championship. Brice did get the
win and he started like this as
well. So curious one right if
we're being fair that moment in
time and it was breeze up against
Nicholas last year. Most people
would have expected Nicholas to
win and it didn't go that way. I did. I did as well. I'm being honest. I did. Do you think that plays
in the mind of Nicholas Holden a minute? Beautiful bill over the top. Keeper comes out. We can't close
the angle enough. And Samu Gamer is tuning up against the world champion right now. Well,
I mean, what a goal. We all expect sometimes the incisive passes, the true impasses to go through,
but sometimes a just small, everyone try on the pass can make it score goals as well.
So, another great match for us, you can see right now the Golden score by Katja to make it 1-2 against Milkalov.
Katja needs a win because he's on six points at the moment and Jaffonsson gets Bergen started with Jaffonsson making it 1-0.
It was a response there, straight down the other end for Mandersberg and getting the ball across.
A great bit of composure over to this game, Emery Jomas needs points on the board.
You can see what I'm left to touch on that in a second is Emre Yilma is a game who did end up making it three goals to one.
That is a huge goal here, Graveson.
Just as we left this match, we see Manu Basura scoring the first goal of the day for him.
It is 2-1 and it seems like the current world champion is on the way.
He needed that.
Like if it went 3-0 and with Samu again, we know how good he is defensively and controlling the game.
He could have slowly started to pull away, we see the goal from Manu.
Beautiful touch with Usman Dembele, and again, similar to Anders' goal,
a bit of composure for the extra pass.
That's the thing, when they get to this stage, the World Championship,
it seems like they're compositors of the charts, the differ, both of them.
That's the reason why they're both World Champs.
It seems like when they have the clear chance to score the goal and you're thinking
the shot comes in, shot cancellation, every single time.
I'm not even looking for the pass.
Like, I'm shooting and I'm missing.
See Sammy Gamer again, another corner where he's slowing it down a little bit,
trying to play for maybe a clearer opportunity.
To do it, he's going to work this time though, Tomini.
So many bodies behind the ball as well, Graves,
and it's going to be hard for him to find space.
You can see the player locks coming in, Traneo, going up the pitch,
Kikanathareth.
You can see he's waiting for the team press,
and he wants to punch the team press with the player locks,
Which is smart from him. He's inviting pressure now and the ball backwards and
That's one thing that if I'm honest, I'm pretty good at the game at the moment Ryan
What do you think they're looking is that important? I think with the attacking runs on this game
It's a lot better to get the ones that you want in either world Vanessa again
Dude Bellingham seems to be the player making a difference for Samu Gamer
Patience
I was just about to mention how
hard would it be for manager
Troy just to keep focus and keep
level headed because. For me when
I played, I wouldn't all action
when I was coming into the games.
I didn't want to slow it down
unless the coach was telling me
slow the pace down of the game
and keep possession. Ultimately,
I didn't really enjoy. I found it
hard to play against people that
did that as well. I get frustrated.
I pull up there out. Do you think
Manu made a mistake anywhere? Or
was it just good attacking from
Samu? I think it was really good
attacking as we see. Let me
think the unbeatable man on top
The second man on 12 points is scoring a lot of goals, you can see the reaction from Schmuck, he's not happy at all, and Levy Finn.
I'm sure Dr Nightwatch is a happy man at the moment, and the Esports World Cup winner in 2024 scores the second goal.
You can see the reaction coming in from Anders Beggar, not happy, 2-1.
Not happy at all. Back over to this game, Manibutura trying to get a goal.
back in this game against Samu Gamer.
Was just going over smoke there, of course,
it'll be very, very disappointed if he loses the game.
And I'll let me finish.
Unbeaten, that is a great finish.
Finisher into the top corner.
I was just saying, smoke these points.
Solders this man right here.
Maniputri, once the finish in that top eight,
you heard from his interview, that is his aim.
And in order to do that, he needs to win this game.
It was a tough day in the office
for some team liquid players, and of course Manu Bashor was one of them,
getting a loss against Hesers and a draw against Sillian, but not only that,
maybe lost against Nazara in a tough result 4-9 for him, so they do 1-n, day 4, as big as possible.
Absolutely, we'll see if there's any more drama going into half-time in this game.
the end of the game. He's got
some space goes for the finesse
shop. What the angle was closed
down by Maldini. Look at the
runners here. And again, right
on the other side of things.
Maldini for Sammy game are
stepping in. That's why I think
the long ball past play style
is based on that we don't speak
about a lot and sometimes you
can break down differences. It's
underrated. I think at this
stage of the game hold on a
second finesse shot of the
and great composure from Manu, not to panic, a lot of people would have just pressed pass or pressed X there and it wouldn't have gone further away.
Took his time, he waited and he could start an attack of his own.
Just saying that with the long ball pass, now where there's a lot of playstyle plus there's extra play styles on players,
I think having long ball you'd be looking at as a nice addition because you can play those passes that can turn defence to attack very, very quickly.
I would say if I were using a central midfielder, I would probably look at the fourth best
playstyle, the long ball.
Really?
Yes.
Wow.
In my opinion.
I would say a real great long ball over incisive.
That's on the central midfielder.
Like if I'm talking about a cam or striker and using some incisive.
See for me on the sentiment, I really want finesse shot.
I feel like I value it very highly.
That is going to be half time.
In this game between Samu Gamer and
Manny, let's jump on over to this game.
This is a replay between Jeff Bonzo and
Anders Vergang. It was a nest shot from.
MacTom and a into that top corner
and frustration shown again from Anders
Vergang, but it's sort of very,
very long way in that game.
Same as this one,
Nicholas needed to get back in this
game against Bruce and he's done that
to one as it stands.
And speaking about perfect timing,
a great opportunity for four catcher
catcher to score. Very fortunate to be honest with you but he needed that slice of luck in this game.
I did mention how day two for Liquid, it wasn't a great one at all but for Man City,
I mean they cut the wins. Jafonso with six points out of six possible, same one to
Matthias Konano as well. Let's stop over to Jafonso speaking about Matthias the City. They've
obviously as you said had a great day two with the wins obviously Guga as well being
a player that's been performing it very very well, but Giofonso needs points in my opinion.
Sitting right now with the six points that he does have just above Anders Vergen with
goal difference being on nine points and potentially twelve I think we put him in that
top eight. I know I'm thinking I'm going kind of ahead and I'm thinking about knockouts
but now let's just say that Giofonso ends up winning this match and that would be Vergen
and six points. Let's just say he gets a win from the last match of the day. I'm thinking about if you're
let's just say a top eight player you might play against Anders. Early doors, yeah. Early doors,
which could be a huge story. Exactly, you can see the elbow with the live updates on your screen.
Levy Finn leading in his game which puts him on 15 points. He's 4-1 up. He is unbeaten as it stands
and the way that the rest of the table shapes up. As it will be a minimum of seven points with
a good goal difference to get through for that top 24. Do you agree or disagree? Because some
people maybe say six. We've seen it in each Champions League where Rosendegot threw in six
points. I think seven points is the threshold with good goal difference. I agree. I think
six points is just not enough and I'm probably looking at Anders and you can see, look at the
stamina from Anders. It doesn't matter because he scores the goal and it's three-three but it's just
fifth. I mean we've just gone 50 minutes and if you look at the stamina from Anders, not from
the attackers but as soon as the ball gets to the midfield look at the full
backs look at the central midfields do you think he's going to play a huge
factor in here right? It depends on how the course of the game goes on because
you can tell he's been chasing look at the stamina ball in his face it does
make a difference and Gifonso does have its base gets the the interception for
Anders I wonder if it's a game style because he's been defending and pressing
very aggressively in a lot of the games we've seen especially as Alejandro
I'm not sure because we haven't seen the game stats, but I'm confident
Jafonzo has been holding the ball for a long time. It might be a team-pressed thing.
It's a finish shot from Nicholas to make it 2-2 just before half-time.
That is a replay in that game and we saw it was 3-2 for Samu Gamer.
It is now four goals to two just after half-time.
We jump back over to this game live between Jafonzo and Anders.
We jump back over to this game live between Giafonso and Anders.
Great ball.
Is it onside? He is onside. He can't get past Salma.
When I'm playing on footchamps, and I see a player using the team press a lot,
I'm trying to hold the ball as long as I can for the stamina.
Look at the runners. The young is going to get on to the Andersberg,
and beautiful play. Finish it as well.
You see the pass coming in from
Jofonzo, it was a great goal by
Frankie the Young. You see the
runner and you know if you're
Jofonzo you're in a big bit of
trouble because there's no one you
can place which to in time to
try and intercept the pass. The
mistake was gone before that.
That's what in a pause. Let's
jump back over to the Sammy
Gamer Manu game. We did miss a
goal from Manu, he did respond
very very quickly to lower the
deficit to only one goal now and
He's only attacked to potentially equalize right here.
Gets the ball to Kiko.
He's in a tough angle to get a clear shot.
It's good defending in the end.
Great defending.
That's something that I found curious from Samu.
Samu was a great attacker last year,
but I don't think he was a great defender.
And he's developed a lot.
You can just see the replay coming in from Manobashor.
Ball gets to Saka.
Ooh, great finish.
in the change of place. They're coming in for three.
Beautiful board up here. He takes the touch goals near post.
I wonder if he went for a low driven across goal.
Cudia found the back of the net. He's going for a corner.
Played short from Sammy, which he's done throughout this game.
It works last time. He slowed it down.
He was methodical with his board up. He waited for the space.
And his beautiful play. Look, it's offside though.
just outside. As we see little life updates on the right side of your screens,
a small play against Levy Finn, 5-2, they'll put Levy Finn on 15 points on
Bitten, only wins. Ridiculous return from Levy Finn, especially I keep saying this,
we spoke to him in Germany, he was on the cluster of not even making it to the
play-ins, he had to rely on other people getting results for him.
Emre Yilmaz currently leading the three goals for two, his teammate is trying to
equalize here, speaking about big results, Milka Love obviously started day one
the six points. Zero points on day two. Coming into it today he needed to get
something from it just to keep not only the dream of of top eight alive but
even if he lost this game it could be a jeopardy. He's winning as it stands. That
is a massive result. If he's able to see it through.
Great defend them by Bellingham because the pass was coming in. To Tomine, do you see that?
Yeah, this is the goal that put
local of six three up against Katja.
In the catch his last game is going to be a tough one against
Nicholas where he will have to win that game will be at least a draw
and hope things go in his way.
Just as we see a pause, let's see if we can jump over to it.
Jeff Fonzo in his Bergen match because I feel like I want to see
the stamina bar.
We'll see it is still very low.
Look at his nursing so high.
It looks as if.
Defonso is going to stop pushing, more bodies forward.
It was another goal for Anders Vergen, though, to make it five goals to three,
but Defonso is going to try and push forward here.
In this position, if you were Anders, you change anything in terms of worrying about stamina,
or would you just play? Because how big of a difference does it make on FC 26?
I think you... I think it should just receive the mele.
I'm going to... That was a great question.
Let me reply to it in just a second, because this could be a great attack.
You can see Jaffonso looking for the pass, the player is going to come in and this is where it gets dangerous.
I think it's out of position, the right-
Look at the pressure though, it's just relentless pressure from Andes Bergen and it's forcing Jaffonso back, but if he can get a pass, time to perfection.
We put him in a very good position, goes for the finesse shot, wasn't aimed correctly there from Jaffonso.
I will say Ryan, I think you should definitely get more punished with stamina.
Back in the days, I'm talking 2020-2019. If you had low stamina, you were getting destroyed, right?
I really liked the way it was.
There's a goal in this game between Nicholas and Breeze.
It was a big moment for Nicholas to take the lead 3-2, as you can see the frustration from the team vitality
representative in this e-sports World Cup.
The World Championship points.
If I'm under something, I'm not focusing about the stamina. Maybe I'm changing the full backs or even the center backs on the center mids, but that's just it. I feel like if you look at Maldini, look at the stamina bar, I don't think he'll get punished for that.
that you can see the live updates with what the current scores are doing to the
table it puts milk love and manu if the school and remains the same they're
both on the cusp of top eight and is vergan will be in the top way as it stands
but if you're looking at the bottom half here for smoke it's a devastating
result against levy three and you'd expect it to potentially be the end of
his tournament offside for Gefonzo again breeze as well that game losing against
You'll be on five points. That last game for Breeze, he's up against Guga for us.
And he has to win the game. It's a full line remains the same against Nicky.
So he has the win to stay in. Considering this was a player that was the runner up last year.
It's crazy to think that he's in this position.
It's on five points, so he definitely needs to win. You can see, it's a great narrative.
this post World Cup 2024 champion against the FCB World Champion 2024 and at the
moment Anderson on top leading 5-3. I'm really really curious to see if he's gonna
get punished. I was hearing some goalscoring. Which game has that come from?
It's come from this one the Samu game a Manu game and it's Manu who's turned this
game on its head. Samu was up four goals to two and it is now five four. Let's take
look at the replay here, is Granite Jaco with that finesse shot into the top corner.
You can see that Sam was not comfortable with the way he's playing at the moment.
On the other side, one of a short.
We had a really tough day too.
Starting up really well.
not only because of the result, but because of the way he's playing.
I think Sammy will know that.
The aim for top 8 is there, especially after the start he had.
3-0, you're kind of expecting, you've got three games where you just need to win one,
and you're thinking, you're there. Top 8, it should be secure,
unless something crazy happens where it's more than 12 points,
which I don't think it will be, unless it comes down to goal difference.
now he's in a position where.
If my new gets the goal now to
make it 64 beautiful play,
does the drag back gets the
angle for finesse capsules it
and a keeper with the big save.
Grabberson. Older track back.
It felt like it was your last
baby air. Wow cool FC.
Great turn from them belly,
trying to get the ball to around.
It doesn't work out.
Look at the opportunity to counter now.
Do billing is going to keep going forward?
Brilliant choice of past there.
It's going to be Kika who has everything.
Duke Bellin and Pineshock.
Samu Gamer right back in this game.
And that's the thing with the set pieces.
You can get punished on the counterattack.
And he was patient because he had a couple of through balls.
Exactly.
He didn't commit to them.
Just as we see the final result coming in from Milka Lof
win his game.
Massive, massive win for the German.
That is a crucial three points, which 100% secures his position.
For the knockouts, but it keeps the dream alive, Grav, where he could get top eight if he's able to get a result against Alejandro in the last round.
That would be big. Another big result here. Emre Yulmaz and Team Liquid needed points, five, three victory.
It looked a bit shaky early doors. He went one no down and Emre Yulmaz will be on seven points.
He can't get enough points to get into that top eight, but it'll be a horrible opponent to match in the early round.
the last round of knockouts for
Virgil of course is a difficult
left to take. He still has his
tournament alive last round
against Karim is back. He wins
that potential point could be
enough depending on other results.
And again, Levy Finn huge
congratulations 15 points from a
possible 50 absolutely flawless.
Wow play of the tournament so far
he's definitely he's definitely
want to watch you could go the
distance and it's only the group
ridiculous with some of the way he's been performing throughout the games.
Just as we jump on to this game, you can see, oh what a save! I thought I was going in, but Casillas,
a huge important save. Manu assured he needs to win. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy with a draw.
It's been successful from the set pieces. Exactly, you can see the way he was upset with
that opportunity. It was a big chance to score. This is the last standings of the game. You can
You can see it visually, but Nicholas, he's currently up full goals to 2.
That game isn't finished, but it puts him in third, which is a very healthy position going into the last round,
especially because Nicholas started off with that draw, if you remember, RBP legend.
And just you can see on the break of elimination, both Grace and William, the team be tied, it's clear.
I'm sure they need to push through their last matches.
Qualifying for the knockout stage.
You think Sammy Gamer's playing for last attack?
He's started to push a bit forward now,
bringing to the honour there into an offensive area.
If I'm some of them, I'm happy with the draw.
It's not only about getting a possible point,
you're taking two away from Manu.
Look at the runners here, he could be punished.
Salma in on goal, Manu's got to finish it, composure!
It's heartless level there, from Manu Bachore, brilliant.
To turn back and play the pass.
A lot of people would have opted for maybe a finish there,
the keeper came out to close the angle.
But that is why he is a world champion.
Grabbing so that is unbelievable.
We talk about the composure coming in from the world champions,
both from Anders and Manu Bachore,
and it feels like when it gets to these stages,
they just trust their ability to win.
As we just jump over to the Jaffonso against Bergen, Jaffonso needs to score into this one,
goes for low-driven saved by Carcassillas.
You can see the possession from Jaffonso 62.
It makes sense when you're playing.
Hence why the stamina front is.
And he's just, we can't hear him, but clearly not happy with something.
Clearly.
When is he?
We have a question from the Twitch chat from Phantom's place.
12 points goes Banana half at the moment.
Banana beat. 12 points right?
Yeah, Banana was unbeaten in this tournament.
There was only a few players coming into today.
That's Levyfin, Banana, Hezzas and Umut that are unbeaten.
So, Banana, his next game is up against Paolo Neto.
And last game for him today would be against Cristobor
in the group stage.
Let's see, can Samu Gamer respond?
to be a crucial blow for Samu Gamer here especially when he said you mentioned he'd be happy with a point he could have kept possession for last attack he didn't he went to go forward and Manu sussed him out
the first time in a row.
They're defending by Maldini,
but now the fullback start
of position. We're going to
stay cool and he's going to
clear it and it's enough to see
the three points secure in favor
of team liquid and
Mani Bacchuria. Fantastic
victory, which puts him on 10
points. Sammy was still on nine
points. He's of course
qualified through to the knockout
stages. Top eight is getting
tight right top eight. That
final round today for some
also needs points to keep his tournament alive.
And we're still on a pause on the Jaffonso
against Anders Bergenmatch.
We have that game, and
of course, Breeze against Nicholas.
Both of them are on pause right now.
Someone told me two games that weren't finished
out of every single one.
Who's involved?
I'm picking Nicholas.
Nicholas won?
Nicholas won?
And then I'm thinking of the second.
I'm thinking Anders, both of them.
Anders, I mean, yes.
That's what this is again, but let's talk about tactics probably
Jump into it
When Nicholas is cruising
To an extra three points which puts him on ten as you saw from the live standings before this was the replay grabberson
Dude, Belligny's come up clutch so many times with the finisher
That is why I'm telling you the finisher on a sense of middle attacking me feel that is vital on this game. I
I do think you need to have at least one shooting playstyle.
It can be low driven if you want, but I do agree that the finesse one is just simply
better.
And I had the pleasure to speak with Nicolas after day two and he was happy with Benithi's
junior.
Because he told me when day one he was playing really poorly.
You can see him.
A serious thing here today.
I'm sure Nicolas will be happy.
You need these generous
assists, scoring goals.
He's turning up.
What have we said a million
times? I feel like I'm a
broken record with the
Finesse shot conversation.
And it's perfect timing.
Granite Jacque has the Finesse
shot as the silver place. That's
all you need in that area,
especially with precision
shooting. It's going to be
Defonso, though, with this corner,
which would secure the three points, three needed points, in my opinion,
find his right-gance. And as you can see, Math Raui is on, Badjo is on.
The sub-step he made was defense because of the slamming up.
That's the pitfall where there isn't going to get there as a row, how can can step in.
Put your phones on now. I say for both of these players, a loss would be devastating in terms of
the pressure building in that final round.
Defonzo's last round is against RVP Legends,
who before action started today was in that top eight.
He is somebody that is ruthless.
You don't want to play against him at any stage of the tournament,
especially when you need a win.
He feels like today he's really confident
throughout the whole tournament because of the way he played.
We have final result from his match,
You can see the FGPRO World Champion back in 2024.
He came on top against the eSports World Champion on that same year, right?
Big victory for Anders Wuergang and Team Falkens.
They're jumping over to the last game as we see the viral moments.
His headers and volleys around the back for Nicholas.
Hey, he's just, he's gamed them.
Oh, sorry, for Breeze, I should say, he's gamed them, he knows it.
I would say for Breeze, he's on five points.
he was on minus one goal difference. That's tough, minus six now. Eight points should, if eight
points doesn't get you through, I'd be, I'd be stuck. That would be really unlucky I think.
It could happen though, that's the thing. But he needs to win that last game obviously,
otherwise his tournament and team vitality's hope so for pushing further in the tournament with
Breeze will be ended but he's definitely got the ability to do it. He's shown it last year especially
but for this man right here, the Iceman, we speak about having a one championship title
to his name being the only missing piece. Could this be a zero-grabber? Could it be this year? Could it be his final year?
As he said it, time and time again. If he wins the World Championship, he's retiring, he's going back to Buenos Aires, he's living his life.
And let's see if he's able to do it. But first things first, we're gonna go for a quick break round and to be fair,
we have some big matches coming up. So grab a drink, grab some popcorn and we'll be back after a break.
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes out super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City, powered by play.
I enjoy by Matias Bonanno who's currently sitting second in the standings right now.
I mean, you've had a perfect week so far.
So how are you feeling?
You're four for four.
I mean, great start.
No, of course, it's a really good start, but I need to win the rest of the matches.
Like I'm not sure in the top eight, so I need to win one more.
So you think that's what you need to do to secure top eight?
One more win.
We'll for sure, for sure get you in that top eight.
I think we won't draw.
We are safe, but just in case we know.
The only player above you right now is Levy Finn.
He's on plus 10 gold differential ground, plus four.
Is that in your mind at all in terms of the rankings,
in terms of the standings going into knockouts?
No, in my mind now is my gameplay play better and improve every day.
All right, Mati, we'll see if you keep on rolling into the knockouts as well.
If you can secure that win, I wish you the best of luck.
My name is Emre, I go by Emre Yomas.
I'm 20 years of age and I represent Team Liquid.
I was really disappointed and this year I want to do better, better for myself, I want
to take revenge for myself and just prove the world that I can win this tournament.
As Levy the Word back up the other end here, a ball into the team, a lovely first time
through ball and that is an outstanding low driven finish.
Ego is a big thing in eSports I think and I think it's also with underestimating your
opponent. For example when I win a tournament I think I'm better than everyone but it's
not actually true. In my head I'm always the underdog but it's not true but it's just
in my head to keep the opponent better than me so I stay 200% focused.
M-Race found the advantage. Does he need to pass it? He does in the end!
Being professional is really hard as well because we practiced 6 to 8 hours a day and
now you need to focus only one or two hours a day so you need to put all your focus in
and I think if you don't do it, you're not a professional.
Speak to us as we go along here is Levy with Harry Kane.
You save, it falls back to Harry Kane's on side there,
long dribbling and he's turned it round.
When I'm playing with my teammates, I don't really shift
with mentally and ego, I just treat everyone the same.
First of all, I think Nellis are the best eSports nation in the EFC
and I think when I started my career,
Lathia and Monty helped me really with the game and I learned so much from them and maybe
they also learned from me and that's how we keep it competitive and that's why I think
we are the best team in the world.
I'm very proud being from the Netherlands in the scene.
As Emery O is back up here the red that is an outrageous goal!
Do not see pass the way!
If I had to compare myself with the EFC Ultimate Item I would compare myself to Jude Bellingham
because he can defend, he can attack but I can do it but it needs to be my day.
I think I have a lot of experience on land events and I think I can use it against some
of the bones who don't have, but still that's not enough and I need to show my best level.
Welcome back everyone to the STPro World Championships. You can see who I have next to me here. It
is Emre Yolmas. I mean, we got a much needed three points in that last round up against
Virgil 5-3 victory. So how are you feeling after that win?
Yeah, it was a much needed win. Yeah, he's a crazy player. He was on six points. So if
If he won, it was true to the knockout saves,
but I played very good.
I think my best game of the two days, three days.
Now let's talk about those last two days as well,
because a lot of people were surprised
by how, what the outcome was,
because you weren't playing to your top potential.
So what went wrong?
What really didn't click day one and day two?
I think I just don't play at my best level.
I don't know why, but I need to fix it
if I want to confirm this tournament.
Coming into today, you are sitting in the elimination area.
You're now out of that, but you do need to put in some work in this last game up against MS DOSHERY, so what needs to happen in this last match for you?
Yeah, I just need to win my game, just to play good and then everything will fall apart.
Alright, well thank you so much, I'll let you get back to it, send it back over to the desk.
Great to hear from our top three players, Emery, having a big win on day one and then a very rough day two.
He's starting off for a third day of League play though pretty strong. Let's talk about its shells. What did you just witness in the last hour?
I mean what we're witnessing remember. He's one of the best days in the world. That's simply as we play
I had no really fear in him
I guess we were just surprised to see him that low in the table
But we know we still had day three to capitalize and redeem himself and Emory was I expect nothing less cool
Can't collect it and he got the job done in this round FG is a big round not just for Emory for a number of players including Manu Bashore
Where did he finish? Yeah, Manu Bashore a huge win for him actually from seven points
He goes to 10 so you could say he will be in the knockouts pretty safely
You can say that now it was a good performance from him Samuel gamer as well actually he's on your nine points right now
So he's actually leap-front him great down for him. It's still one more round of fixtures for them both
I expect to see them both just a handful players into double digit shells as we take a look at the big wins
So Nicholas and breeze in the first ten minutes very close Nicholas though a blowout win gives him plus six on the gold differential
just from that game alone, he is now starting to pull away a beat,
we've now plus 13 overall.
Yeah, I think that was a big game.
I was desperate when Breeze went 2-0 up.
I'm thinking Breeze is a very cool, calm, elected.
When he's in possession, it's very hard to get the ball of it.
Going 2-0 up against Nicholas, I thought he might be able to catch him off guard there.
But that's a big win from Nicholas, especially from day one.
He had a disappointing start.
And I think from Nicholas, he's the ice man for a reason.
He's slowly coming in and growing into the tournament.
We expect to see him do well in the knockouts as well.
You mentioned Milko Love at the start of the day, and of course,
Levy Finn, our player who was 12 points coming in. He was on top of the leaderboard, now our first of 15.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he's been unbelievable, Levy Finn. I think, I mean, his performance is
scoring in the league standard speaks for itself. But, I mean, with regards to local of congratulations
to local of his lowest ranked player here, and he's currently on nine points. Say that again.
He's the what lowest ranked player here. I believe that. I mean, they performed.
He's been absolutely amazing.
Arguably one of the best performers here in terms of rankings.
He's been amazing.
He's got a massive win.
His opponent, on the other hand, Katcha,
he needs something, and he needs something against the Iceman Nicholas,
who we just saw, like you just said, against Christ,
who's so, so well.
That is going to be a tough game.
Yes, you can see the highlights here from Jaffonzo and Anders.
I thought Jaffonzo, and listen, this is a great start from Jaffonzo.
I'll get the one of the best players in the world,
But Andrew Shona's class there clutching up.
I thought we might be getting an Andrew special,
but Ted's you going into the last round.
And it's not going to the highlight
between great recent Nicholas.
Like I said, Breece went to know up,
and Breece is a very procession based player.
So Nicholas to come back here shows that he's low key playing.
I know he's hitting on the game on day one,
but he's still got the level.
Eight straight goal shells.
Do you boil out opponents like that?
I'm back in my old days, but I think that happens to me now.
But listen, momentum is a big thing
in terms of confidence on the game.
Sometimes, you know, you go into a game for Nicholas.
He's so experienced that sometimes you can't just start off strong.
The two boys from Argentina, Bonanno and Nicholas doing work so far there in your top four and overall points.
You're looking for other players to climb the rankings.
Well, Virgil had an opportunity.
Yomas shut it down.
And as you mentioned in the interview, this was a huge one.
Three points denied from your opponent.
He gathers them instead.
FG, he is now skyrocketing into our top 16.
Yeah, I mean, it was a great performance, like we said, a massive, massive result for him.
I mean, let's touch on that game again.
Shall we involve Nicholas?
that. I'm sure he's not going
to be able to do that. I'm
sure he's not going to be able
to do that. Because price is a
bit of trouble now is on five
points. Remember he is in his
whole nation would love for him
to be there on the main stage on
Sunday for the fact that he
bring a big following with him.
I'm sure he's in a bit of
trouble. He's got five points
and he's got a game against
Google for as he's in fantastic
fantastic form next. It's not
looking great shells. Yeah,
but it's not looking great, but
anything can happen round
change very quickly, but going
back to milk, a lot of I mean
being the lowest rank came
I've been the underdog of people might not know my name, or I might be looking at a new comment thinking I have to win that game
You can use that to your advantage because everyone be thinking I need to get a three-point save and for milk love
He's been paying at a good level. So maybe he can carry that way into the knockouts
Here you can see the Italian getting taken down by the youngster milk love with another three points should be secured into our top
24 the question is where is he going to finish in the bracket if you look for a live update?
We'll screenshot this bad boy because the numbers are officially in Manu and team look with into your top five
You got the Falcon into your top six and Ali Hanlion still holding on to his nine points
Alongside Nassada, Samu and Milkalove now were all top ten if you're looking at the right side of your screen
You mentioned Neat might have an opportunity old run really needs some wind shells in the other players to watch
Not to watch to be fair Marlon as well mom and had the discipline day one
I think if you saw his reaction from the results, he knew he could have came out with a few wins
But he still has two chances to redeem himself so welcome all my eyes on him
It is time to get into the games another round of action and a big one for MS
So sorry versus Iliad both need three points a draw will not help either. We sent it over to the casters to get this one started
Yeah, we move into the next round of the group phase here
We are getting closer and closer to finding out our final 24
that will make you through to
the next age of the FC Pro
World Championships. Brown and
Smith alongside Richard Buckley
for another round here, Rich
already. We just seen six games
conclude today and that table is
shaken up. You've already had a
couple of moments to have a bit
of maths on it, and you're
thinking already that for some
players, six points might not be
enough. Yeah, I'm just looking
at this table as it stands right
now. It's the first chance of
the game whistle past the
portion of the ban. No, there's
plenty of players with two games
the game. It's a lot of
players. It's a lot of players
that are going to play. Levy
Palo netto in this game right
here. Crystal ball all on six
points already below that as
you see the opening goal of the
game. It put one wide past the
post with Palo netto in classic
Palo netto style, open to
scoring of what plans to be a
very high scoring game. There's
plenty of players. Below 24. I'm
looking at ms. Duxer here looking
on four points. Luke, light it
out on four points. Oh, as well.
On Taike, one John on four points.
Seven points might be a bad
minimum to get you in to that
top 24 at this point. Well,
this is the new format for us as
well. Have you seen something we
come to a world finals as the
both bouncing around there from
a corner? That's defended well
by Palo net. So the Elip Tudor is
champion against the Premier League.
currently four wins from four.
Looking to match up on Levy Finn has just been able to do.
He's on maximum points with 15.
No doubt they are on their way through.
And also in the top eight.
As I was saying, Richard, is, look,
we saw the Champions League early this season.
Same format, same number of players.
There was five players all on seven,
all on seven points during that league phase, Rich.
There was the goal difference of two Grenadiers
that put them through on that day.
that was a little bit different.
Seven points. I think the
Champions League before that was
six points. We saw it briefly in
the League of FC Pro. The league
phase, which is a little bit
different. That was also seven
points to get you through. Yes,
there was less players in that
competition there. But I mean,
this is really going to come down
to the wire to stay with us
across these last round of group
phase. If you are wondering what
we are slightly against behind
the tournament schedule that was
because yesterday we're able to
the game. We've got a lot of
players. The online service is
that Finesse hits the part, and
it has been that we've kind of
got to do double. Double digits
there in terms of the game play.
We got round four and around
five and round six of the group
phase to conclude and then
restraints and knockouts by the
end of place. They rich will
find out who's going through to
our finals days. We got a
fast update over here from
Ilyan Boushe. There's a lot of
the other. 36 players
coming today. By the end of
play. You have eight. Yeah
remaining going into tomorrow.
We're slicing this competition
down and the very, very best
will be the ones that remain as
this one didn't belay double
Palo nettoes lead. He was in
fierce form at the Premier League
of Sunderland. I tell you what,
he has been goal scoring for
that. What else is happening
across the board? Well, as we
said, we've got six games
taking place, which you tell us
where you wouldn't update. We
got Marlon against R. V. P.
Legend. Look right about
against the data. That's the
game for two players that have
really struggled this
competition. Um it who is one of
the only unbeaten plays left in
the competition alongside the
tears. Banana. He's up against
Google for the first time in
the world, but he's not the
to the left. He's up against
Guga for us. Mr Sorry. We saw
alienated by a golden ill and
then Karim is back against
D Fernandez. Right. Here's the
scores on the doors as it
stands. Marwan to draw so far
to his name. He's leading to
Galsenil against Rvp legend.
There's look by the values on
our street right now looking
for a second goal was in
Bellas. Let's shot. He stopped
there by the goalkeeper still
do no between Karim is back
the last. You know, the last
game in the world. There's the
late kickoff force. It was
Um, uh, against Guga for us. The
youngest player of the tournament
as a leader gets to go back. He's
looking for his first points in
the competition still. So there
is. You mentioned all those
games there. This is the, uh, the
view from the top of the room.
Shall we say for a kick just on
the edge of the box here? As
for the finals day here in
Paris tomorrow. We potentially
could be crowning the new FC
Pro World Champion or a new
world champion completely.
It's a lovely little time there
from Matias Bernardo. We've just
been able to put away and get a
go back. We can't see you as
what home we are live of course
across multiple platforms. There
is not one but two mystery
So if you want the console right now, you're on FC 26 get those objectives complete because there are two mystery nations off the grabs
So we'll be giving clues
Give a few over
Make sure you've got your magnifying glass out
People already gets in the chat
So you've got it right
An early guess there will be a little bit hint dropped throughout the day from the host desk
with obviously his family being present as well with him, he could be a settling impact for him.
I know he's been working very hard obviously with Manchester City and the video in behind him
as a coach there but he does look a lot more almost a little bit flashback to the previous
Matias Bernardo. I wonder if we're not seeing outside of the Premier League for a year or so.
The last time we saw Matias Bernardo-Vizco Riches was probably during the online era
in South America where we won everything.
Or the Premier League.
Or, of course, the Premier League.
Well, look, as you said, the season never starts that well for him,
as he has recently.
This is the FC Pro Open.
Wins the Premier League.
He did get through to the knockout stages in the Champions League,
where he fell in the first knockout round to Guga Farazvi.
He's also in this competition.
There's the live updates on the bottom of the stream.
There's the scores on the doors.
There's Matias Panani near enough.
Had to go 3-12.
It wasn't for the hand of Kiseas.
the game. Keep an eye on those
live standings. That is where
you need to keep looking. Top
24. It's just there at the
moment of the 24 spot. It's
moving. It's changing catches
now move in there. Look how much
it's fluid. You saw him. So
sorry just starting equalizing
goal moves up to 18th as
Palo netto is on side and will
go three to walk here against
to the right of the right hand
side of your screen. Let's look
what's been happening between
Luke and Adidas and it's a
tremendous and he opposed to put
Luke in front once again.
Dollbacks to Iliad boost. You
just heard a role there. A
in the midfield as well. You
can see him actually in this
team right here from the five
playstyle plus Roger that the
path to glory item that went on
to obviously have great success
with Spain winning the World
Cup. If you look there's on the
beach now. Google for as well.
the world's most important
players in this year's world
championships. 15 million
coins. And that was all the
rules you need to follow. Just
stay with the budget. But I
don't have four Alan netto
through just keeps off the
second half in this one.
Again, my eyes have constantly
fixed it for these table. It's
I'll let you think's got a plus 10 gold difference, which we'll probably keep him there. Unless we see
Another four goals
Question I've got on the other side of this brownies. Oh, that's only bit of water
It's on six points. It was played five
All differences
Right now plus one. Well after this game is probably gonna be the minus as if this was what sticks as it is
the first round, but you're
going to be a little bit
different. You know, you're
going to be 56 or 7 for a for
the moment because that's
going to change and you're
probably even third and fourth.
But let me fill the banana
both on 15 points. No doubt
they'll be going through. Why
is it important? He asked
will you skip around? You
don't play the round of 24. You
play the round of 16 rich. You
win one game tonight. You're
in the quarter finals tomorrow
and you look at your teeth
train towards the FC Pro
Open for next year and just
put this in perspective. Look
how quickly one win can turn
you around and missed
the ball. Still all square
between the two of them. I want
to turn my attention to if we
can get some replays. That's an
extra fantastic pass. Who's been
done? Belly gives it a seven
goal. Three gold gap. I mean, I'm
looking now the golf. It's
what was he meaning to get?
Six goals. Wing. I think that's
been a bit bit nice. It was eight.
He has got. He's nearly there.
He's getting halfway there at
least a bit. It would save her
really solid top eight, but
please do keep in mind we
haven't even finished. Great
goal, Luke. Finish round five.
You're rich. You still have six
more games after this. Absolutely.
You're looking who's going to be
an action as well. In round five
later on. We've got the sardar
heads as Danny Pitbull looking to
get points on the morning's
to win this game. This is a
great as well as minus 14
coming to this game. It's one
of them, isn't it? You could do
the hard work of win the last
two games. If you go live in
school minus five or six, we saw
that need champions leave those
the last two games. If you go
looking still minus five or six.
We saw that the Champions League.
Those players. Still. My neighbors
secure themselves a spot in the top 24.
In five, Mr Sarri five out the right
hand side of the screen,
currently back 31 up against
D from Anders. We can't let's go
then. Marwan against RPP Legend
or Mr Sarri, and if we can look,
there's all six games taking place.
I think. I think more one. Let's
check him in quickly. Why would
be an important win for him?
Speaking of my one is his team
Well, and truly beat him there.
And he ends his league journey with Jeff Fonzo.
Back over here, then, for a second.
I'll feature Dan Bonanno, still 7-5 up.
There's more in the box there for that quarter for Bonanno.
A really important round, though,
as you said, though, for A.S. Monaco.
Both players looking to close out important wins.
just a general come out as well
here at FC Pro World Championships
of these sports World Cup.
It certainly feels like there's
more buzz around today.
There's certainly more people
in the venue.
There's more people taking their
seats and watching these games
as well.
As we approach these final rounds,
I can really, really expect the
atmosphere and the tension to
increase.
in the
chance
banana
getting closer and closer to seeing out
a fifth win
in the FC pro world championships
to say it, but he's working his
favourites. Saka, what a save.
But I think with Google, you just
look at this entire season as a
whole. Starting with the SC
Pro-Walker with the qualifiers
out in Atlanta, successfully,
and then moves on to the
Pro-Walker, did it quite well,
what did he do? He went and
rebuild it, goes into the
domestic league campaign with
Santa Clara. Second in the
to be the top four in the
top four in South Paulo. I think
he does come in right now. Real
wave of momentum into his world
championships. One thing in that
season, which if you start to die
said to his being every major
tournament that he needs to be
as it is just turned up. He's not
being grouped. He's not been
hurt. He's played very well. And
that's the kind of season you
need.
I would have to say that
I would have him. They keep
tomorrow. The prediction for
you there. See it. See if you
can follow through. This is a
that qualification game. It was
a bit the curse from in previous

No disrespect, if you're,

Danny Pitbull,
you have to be losing. Maybe a game against the Sada.
Early on in the tournament, the Sada's up the table, it's fifth right now.
When we last saw the live standings,
but it's the games around you that you have to win.
It's the games in your
periphery, in your close proximity,
that you simply have to be victorious,
just as Luke is doing right now.
This is a game that you look at
you're going to be able to

you and especially off he didn't get to play yesterday. Players have had practice games
with Al Ritchie, but it can't quite compare to playing on the main stage here.
And look, I think for Luke, no disrespect to Adida whatsoever, that was a must win game.
If you're not picking up match one, three point hole from that game, you're probably looking at the qualification
getting away from you. Big win for Luke, he does what he needs to do.
and coming up after the break some absolute trackers we've got Nassada and
Hezaz, Levin Veed versus Abumaka. I cannot wait I'll be back after the break

Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kdea City, powered by play.
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here now, the proud founding partner

Greatness deserves a stage.
Lenovo Legion, reach your impossible.
I
Welcome back everyone, I'm joined by Ilyan Bouchin who just had a nail writer of a game
up against MS Docksery, it ended up 6-6 but you had a red card in the 80th minute as well
so that was quite a stressful game because you need every point that you can get this
point but how are you feeling after that match?
I feel disappointed because I think I dominated this game.
I was winning until the 89 minutes and I took the red card 82.
So, bad end of the game but overall a good game
and I need to win the last game to go knockouts.
Now I have a very specific question to ask you.
A lot of people say that you're the best player locker in the world at this point.
So can you give everyone back home a little bit of an insight
as to how you're so good at that mechanic of the game?
I think I'd like to improve this mechanic since she exists, but it's difficult, you can cancel, you can do a lot of things with that, but now the people know how to do, so I think it's the best mechanic with the Creativer.
Alright, and your last game is a must-win, of course, and it's against Abumaka, so how do you envision that one going? What is your mindset going into it? Because we need those points.
I need to win. If I win, I will go knockout, so I will give everything. Maybe it's my last game, maybe not.
I will give everything on this game, but I feel really good against Osiris, so I hope I will do it.
Alright, Ilyan, thank you so much. Guys, over at the desks. Ilyan, have what it take in that last round to make it out of elimination?
Well, we mentioned that a draw isn't gonna be good enough a little bit worried about him as we're looking at the math
Six points seems to be the cutoff right now, but that is without six more winners coming in
So shells, let's talk a little bit about what just happened. You said there were two stars
We needed to call out that we're on that elimination threat. Yeah, who got big wins?
Yes, both the monocle boys the emigrant champions on both Marlon and Korean winning their games and listen if they didn't do that
I pretty much think their tournament was done. Now, Marwan has to play Nassada in his last game.
If you want to win the World Championship, you have to beat players like Nassada. So I think
these boys bouncing back in day three, anything can happen. FG, we're going to take a look at
the updated standings, any other standout games from that last round. I mean, we did just see our
first elimination, our first official elimination. Adida is out. He's rock bottom. He's not got a
single point. He can finish with three. He can finish with three. And it'll be interesting to see
to see how he approaches it.
He's a fantastic FC player.
He's here on merits, just not
being his few days.
Unfortunately, he is bound out
of the competition.
But as we start to see, as we
as Casey mentioned, we've got a
massive game coming up.
Ilya, he just conceded late on
in that game.
Them extra two points could have
been huge for him, but now it
sets up a tie against Abu
Makka as we roll into the
highlights, like we just said,
Matias, banana, by the way.
I did say on the first day nobody would do the perfect round and maybe two or maybe two of them
But listen if the guys that are coming up, of course, Mutey's banana and Levy's banana
They're playing out of their mind and they're most likely gonna catch the top eight spot
You see that Emery Yilmaz and Anders creeping in through the knockout rounds
Imagine playing them Emery Yilmaz as your first game of knockout, fourth
I was Levy, Fain or Mutey's banana, I would be fuming if that was first game
But as you can see they're handling the team, Guga and Umma
Guga, I guess kind of redeeming himself, you see that previous tournament
It kind of feels like he's drawing a lot of games, but he's coming here to this first world championship
And he's absolutely flying most likely qualified for the knockout rounds
Guga with wins over Emory and another one now over Umet and Adida that is gonna put him into double digits is
10 points good enough for the top 16. Where does he finish?
Oh, I mean, I think we'll be looking at the top eight now. Yeah, real possibilities
Of course, he's through now to the knockouts. I mean, it's just where he's placed that top eight
I think 12 points to be certain maybe 11 maybe one on 11 shells potentially
I think maybe one person might get lucky with 12 or maybe 11, but I think that 12 will be safe
You don't get top 8 with 12. You can't really argue anything else at the start of the day
I thought RVP legend was gonna be a shoe and he was coming off a massive blowout over Korea
We scored 12 points in that game RVP on the losing end of this battle. What is going on?
Yeah, I mean RVP going into he had a strong day one and day two and I think for Korea
He started off very slow
But as you can see the player talent in this group in this whole tournament anything can happen on their day and
and Krim is a top top player and I think he's trying to clutch up to claim his spot,
whereas RVP, I think he's through to the lockouts, but he maybe missed out his chance on top 8.
And then of course, Emma Sasari saying,
last night on Twitter, I need one more win to make it through.
He's at a draw.
Yeah, well, he still needs one more win right to make it through.
I mean, it's going to be a massive game involving him a little bit later on.
We're looking at the highlights of all these games and again, the common theme throughout
throughout the whole weekend has been goals, goals and goals.
What's it on six is I who's gonna snack there to have the same? Let's take a look at those upcoming games
This is the end of round five remember. We have six round six games for every player
This will be the fifth for this group Danny Pippel sitting on zero could still finish with six and make it through to a Saturday
Let's take a look at some of the other big ones. We've got old run looking for points
Let me do weird looking comfortable
Hezers and Nassada both of them are playing for big double digits here. Well, I open games massive
the game. We're going to be
playing in the next game. We
know about how important that
result is Ali online. We've
seen some fantastic
performances from over need to
win here. It's as simple as
that. Otherwise he will not be
going through to the knockout
stages. That is where at red
lack as well is he needs to get
a win himself as well against
me. Another tough opponent.
These games mean so so much,
but now we're at the point in
the competition where the
results in this game might not
just impact the two players
the guys that are fighting to the death.
And listen, I'm looking at Neat and Red Light.
They're both on three or one point.
Whoever wins is most likely going to have the only chance
of making it through.
This game is Mike Highlight with them wrong.
We got our eyes on the players at the bottom
of the leaderboard.
And of course the players fighting for the top eight
to guarantee themselves a top 16 finish here at EWC.
One of those players is now online.
We caught up with him before then.
I'm joined by Alejandro online
who currently has nine points coming into today's competition.
You have a fantastic start.
How are we feeling?
Honestly, and the world champions took so far?
I'm feeling very important. I hope to continue, I guess.
Now let's talk about the goals, because you've scored 28 goals coming into today's competition.
You are only behind Nassada so far.
So is attacking football your main goal coming into all these games?
Because I've enjoyed every second. Goals galore.
Yeah, I tried to score more than my opponent. This is my goal. This is my game point.
Now, of course, we have to ask about that very important matchup that you had the other day.
against Anders. A lot of drama in that one, but you did come out on top and there was
not a handshake from the other side. So talk to me about that one. How are you feeling
after that big win?
It's a good win, important points, but for the handshake, I don't care. It's his choice.
We are just focusing my game.
Alright guys, he's locked in. You've heard him here from Al-Yahan Lion. Thank you so
much. I'll let you get back to it.
FG, a big smile on your face after that one.
love the rival readers and care about the lack of handshake maybe they might face each other a
little later on and you did just mention really really quickly k1john against ph and there's another
massive gamechills k1john's bottom six right now at four points on the other side i believe six
points for ph zinn yeah but this is the thing anything can happen if k1john visits he goes about
ph zinn and we've been talking about maybe k1john hadn't had the best one so far but anything can
happen that's what we love we've got a mystery nation we'll be teasing it a little bit later for
And now, another round of games. Let's get into it.
Absolutely, Chris. The action keeps on rolling.
You just saw over your shoulder there the key-cutter, where people's dreams and keys are going to be crushed.
Because after this round, Grav, we might be in a position where, mathematically, players' tournaments are over,
and keys could be getting crushed.
We're looking at Ogrum, we're looking at Redlac, we're looking at Tannipitball as well.
and the people as well.
Adidas, mathematically now as well.
He's only got three points left.
Yes.
The play for.
Let's see what happens now.
I do think the game that we should definitely
talk about is that maybe against Abu Maka, Rich.
How do you see that one going?
It's such a big game.
I mean, you look at the table coming into it.
Abu Maka, seven points, 15th.
He's remaining two games, Lebedevid and Ilyan.
Both Ilyan needs points as well.
As for David DeVee, he's 24th right now, he's on 6 points.
He plays Abbey Macker and then Levy Finn.
The last game, a Levy Finn that has been flawless so far.
This feels like the game that he has to win.
On 6 points, because 6 doesn't feel, Grav, when we've looked at the table,
we've started doing a little bit of mental math.
6 doesn't feel safe.
No. No, not at all.
I wouldn't like to be on 6 points coming up to that last round.
And that's Fonzo, PHJ and Cristobal Virgil,
they're going to be Palo Neto, Caccia, all on six.
Those players are going to potentially go out on nine if they win their last game.
Not only that, but if we look at the cold difference,
Jaffonzo plus six, PH plus four, it does look like even if you get to the six points,
you should get at least minus two, three, four, so it's going to be tough for them.
And then below that as well, Ilyan on five points, he plays in his last game,
game, Abu Makkah. As for Mahwan, he's on five points. He plays Nassada in his last game.
Breeze on five points. He plays Guga Ferez in his last game.
Guga who has been on fire throughout the whole season, but especially during this month.
So let's give you all the matches that are taking place in this round. We have got six
games once again on the main stage. We just heard from Alihan line. He's locked in ready
to go up against Obrin from XC, K1 John takes on PH Zinn, Levenaville against Abbey Macca,
we've got Neat and Redwack, Danny Pippo will take on Cristobal and the Sada and Hezaz
in a top 8 clash. What's going on for Obrin this week?
I feel like his defense has been poor and Obrin is a really good defender throughout
his whole career. I would like to mention that game, especially against Redlack, which
went 7-7. It's poor coming from him, not only because of the game management and the offense,
I feel like they were both playing pretty poorly, so it can be a whole different thing
for him in this final day if he gets a couple of wins, but it's a tough one for Auburn.
In this game right here, we've got eight against fourth, Nassada three wins so far for him as he adds a goal within the first four minutes of the game against Hezzas.
As for Hezzas, he's unbeaten, three wins in a draw. A win here for both of these two players guarantees top eight.
Hezzas will go to 13 points, Nassada will go to 12 points with a good goal, they've reached, he feels like a win he's in.
I think they're both going to make him to a top 8.
It isn't as much only in the following one,
because I do really think they both played some great FC throughout the whole week.
And the passers-by is my guy.
I feel like he has a great chance of making him to a top 4, top 2 even,
in the World Championships, so I'm expecting big things from him.
Although he's had a bit of sada, he's been an unbelievable qualifier this season.
this season, every single sort of online tournament he's played, whether it's like that, the online
Coutts or even the ladders, he's always in and around the top four, top two. You look at the
virtual Bundesliga, that's where he got his title with Freiburg, the FC Pro Open, top eight, so
let me find his place here at the World Championships. Each Champions League didn't quite go to plan for
a year, aspirations are going on to win that tournament. It's coming in full of belief that
that the FCB World Championships could be his chip.
Nacialo comes forward, is from Dembele, finds the finesse,
he's got a rebound, nice and boring.
Nacialo to the left, early post-cubed by Hezard.
Nacialo's hit spot.
He's here to play definitely,
as we just look at his face, he's happy.
And I'm not sure if you agree, Rich,
but I do feel like when these youngsters come into the scene,
they start playing really well as the likes of Nacialo.
They don't usually do well on ECL and World Championship on the same year.
So I do feel like him not being that well on the ECL probably...
But he's standard. He's still got top A.
Yeah.
But we were expecting maybe a final.
Yeah.
I do feel like even though he expected to win it all,
it gives him a greater chance of making it further here at the World Championship.
Well, let me talk you through some of the other results we've got coming through here as it stands.
Chris the ball one nil up against Danny Pitbull, red black leading against Neat.
As you can see, this was the opening goal for Chris the ball.
Levy DeVeden, Aboumaca still nil nil.
Auburn one, Alihan Lyon one, and Ph Zinn leaving one goal to nil against K1 John.
Couple of surprising early goals coming through, Graf.
Yeah, definitely. Well, let's see, because it's only the first 10, 15 minutes of the game
and nothing can happen.
We are looking at the Twitch chat as well, by Luthio for Zaytali, I'm not curious, because we see the Italians
hyping up their players, but the Germans, Nazara fans, where are you? Can see you, the Twitch chat.
Then Belay, Kikunazareth, the reply by Danny Pitbull, he has had a horrible FC Pro World Championship thus far.
Well, he's a very, very prideful man, he'll want to go out with a flurry.
you. Do you think with six
points he gets? No. Of the goal
difference and also the somebody
players already on six with
opportunities to go to seven.
There is a live table as it
stands right now. Let me think
top of the pile 15 points joined
alongside Manchester City's
banana. Just a ball goes to run
You see him there coming through on the left hand side of the screen.
Grab that you're surprised where they are.
I'm curious.
Paulo Neto drops into the elimination spots.
It is. It is weird, because Palo Alto didn't have a brilliant day one.
She's not playing well at the moment, as you can see.
Ooh, Danipi looking.
It's healthy.
It is.
Not sure how.
But Riff has blown.
And points to the spot.
But it's a matter of getting through to the top 24 in my opinion.
Because Polo net could beat anyone on the knockouts.
When you were playing, I mean it was a lot more, as Cristobal goes 3-1 up here.
And again, it's a game that you have to win.
Those aspirations of firing up the table, currently 20 seconds in the league standings,
but a win here puts you on 9 points and in a real, real good position.
With his last game of the day coming up against Matthias Granano
So you want to get the points on the bottom now, not having to go into the last game thinking
I'd have to win this game. When you were playing in the group standings and the group phases
How was it for you? Did you split it or was it easy to sort of take each game at a time?
Were you trying to catch momentum, catch fire? The main thing for me used to be catching momentum
I think that that's a great point, right?
I think you always want to look for those instances in which you're on the fifth half of game and you're thinking
I'm gonna win this game easily, but it's really hard to not look into the future
As we see this great goal by Big Club. It's really hard not to think about the rest of the matches
It's really hard when you're saying you're winning 2-0 and you're playing really good. You're thinking
I'm gonna play again semestrally then. I'm gonna play against Nicholas and you're going into the future. That's something that
It's impossible, like, you cannot afford to do that, because...
So you're playing this game here, Christoblory's fallen up here, standing pit-ly.
You're thinking?
He's already thinking, I'll tell you what, if I can get Banana off,
maybe already thinking that he's through, guaranteed top eight,
I might be able to beat him and get 12 points, that's not the way to go.
That's not the way to go, because you've got to think of the present.
I mean, it's similar to a tenet in the film.
You've got to be at the present, because if not, anything can happen and you can go poorly.
the last chance to qualify.
We're going to go back in time
and then forward in time. And it
goes wrong. And I'm going to
get confused what's happening.
There's a line forward against
all brain. It has been a
miserable, miserable World
Championships for. All brain who
came in through the last chance
qualified. Only players go through
the last chance qualified all
the way to the FC World
He came through with the yards.
Stacked against him.
Redlap threw one up against Neat.
He would need two flawless victories.
Turn around a little bit at goal difference.
Put him on seven points.
Is there a chance Redlap might sneak through here if he keeps on winning?
I do think so.
I do think seven points with a decent goal difference.
I mean, look at his games. 84
against Anders scored four goals.
64 against catcher scored four
goals. 77 against Auburn. That
was the draw scored seven goals.
Obviously that's a zero, but if
it goes out to gold scored. It
could be could be on his way here.
Let me finish us to five. No
problem is for red like as he
just concedes there for two.
I wouldn't want to play against
players on the last match, especially
when I'm fighting for my life.
Let's have a look at this pH
Zing down. He's taken on K1 John.
As we see K, Chris
the ball sorry coming forward once again
trying to add a sixth goal. We're not
even at half time yet. It's been
relentless.
From the Ajax man.
pH Zing is leading
at the moment. He's leaving
three goals to one against K1
John even for pH thing is down there in an uncomfortable position he has to win
he needs to win to see this pass coming in I'm thinking about K1 John because the
tournament for him started with a win against Iliand then a draw against
Umuk and then everything went wrong he lost against getting his back 5-7
losses against Nicolas and he's losing against pH now how do you approach that
last match Rich when you started the tournament so well and everything went wrong after that.
Yeah it's really tough as it is. Chris Goodball peppering the goal of Danny Pitbull.
I mean for for pH didn't you look at the games that you're talking about as well Graf.
He wouldn't have wanted Thursday to end coming off the back of two victories.
He would have wanted just to keep rolling. Just beat Emre Yulmaz.
Five goals to four. He would have wanted that momentum that you talked about to just roll through.
But we had a complete day yesterday with no games.
That can happen.
But you've got to be
at home point
when you're playing today. The amount of matches that he's playing as you just see
need going forward to score the third goal, three, four.
Massive goal for him.
I will say
the game. That's a good one.
Lucky with your throw. I mean,
everything. Passers Adela and
which you must that is some
huge matches. As Auburn gets
one back there for two. The
scoreline now with Alihan
lion as we approach half time.
Let's go to another game and
let's go to Levy David versus
Abou Macker if we can. That is
one goal to nil is levy.
These are my kind of matches, one nil, 40 minutes.
They're defending well.
Talk to me about both of these two.
They've been somewhat staples in the levy,
especially in the FC Pro Open,
over the last three years.
That's where they've met previously.
2-2 in series.
Two wins apiece.
But, Abu Maka,
he's never in those games where he's getting really blown out.
really blown out. He's never
five, six, seven, nil down. It's
super rare occasions we ever see
that happen.
Levy will take the last chance
of the half. It's not going to
fall his way and that will do us
four half time. Where'd you see
this game? I feel like Levy has
what it takes to control the
game with the player locks with
to score a goal. That's why I think Levy is trying to get on hold the ball as long as
he can because Abu Maka with the counterattacks, you never know what to expect from him. So
I feel like Levy's chance comes from holding the ball but even though he has to be patient
he has to go forward and Abu Maka on the other side, you gotta be so precise when you're
defending with the player switching against Levy because he will punish those mistakes.
We are under way in the second 40 five at the moment. Let me talk you through the other matches as they're currently standing
At the moment. We've got the side of leading four goals to one
Against Hezers this game. We're seeing right here crystal ball leading five loss to two against Danny people
Neat three red like five
It is at the moment K1 John
two three against PH sin
and we'll update you because at the moment Auburn is losing 2-5 against
Alihan and it's 1-0 Levy still winning against Abu Maka. Yes some really tight
game some really big margins as well as Danny Pitbull just not being his weak.
No both Danny P and Auburn I'm sure they'll be devastated after today because
because their league stage has been inconsistent, to say the least.
And sometimes, Grave, I mean, you must have had a tournament during your time as well, where you come into it feeling good.
I mean, Auburn had the best practice possible coming through the last chance.
Qualifier then to the play-ins, you're feeling like you're on top of the world and it just doesn't happen for you.
It happens sometimes.
I remember back in the, uh,
World Cups, uh, I played a couple of them,
and I was at my best. I was top 10 in the world,
and things didn't click.
And sometimes you just look backwards and you're thinking,
I had a good practice of playing really well.
I had a good squat selection.
Oh! Beautiful from Abu Maka.
Megini spin on the edge of the box.
Opens up the space,
the bottom corner. He talks
about he can explode into life
at any moment. You want to
maybe let me play the possession
game. Don't allow Abu
Maka to get rolling. That's a
lovely all. It is a lovely
goal indeed. And. Currently
looking. Both squads. You can
see. That living. Right now.
the back. There is, once again,
levy, twisted and turning. Saka
play a locked pass, but a good
inception from Freeman for Abu
Mako, and a chance maybe to go
forward the other way. He's got
five against four. If he plays
these numbers right. Saka on the
outside of Kivio. He will be
patient. He will wait and try and
utilize the space where he can.
Play locked into Vicky Lopez. The
I'll be fuming. Get your hands off me. I will say look at the stamina between. Yeah, absolutely.
Missy Arlo, good strike, I would say. What are you looking at? Look at the stamina, both
Jude Bellingham's, Lepis and Abu Makas. The comparison is like, look at Lepis, Bellingham
and Stamina, and when you get the chance, you can say, oh! Because if I wrap the stamina,
If you could curl into the top corner, Salah Perejo.
With a beautiful curling finish, which puts Levy back in front.
Great goal, great goal.
Could that stamina potentially, as we get into the later drawings of this game,
be a factor, has it scored a couple of goals to make this a tie to a fair
against Nassar in the top eight squash?
To be fair, I'm always looking at the stamina game,
But I don't think it pays off, finally, because we did see Anders against Jafonsov, who had no stamina, Anders, I mean,
in the 50 minutes and it didn't matter, because you get the sub-same, it's five of them,
and you sub every single midfielder and defender, and you're okay.
But when I'm playing and I'm attacking, I see a full back or even center midfield with low stamina, I'm looking for it.
I feel like you can get punished if you're not considered enough with the stamina game.
We are very close to getting back underway with that Levy to beat Abbey Mack again.
That's where attention will turn. Two players that would have had but only aspirations of top eight.
Group phase, but Levy to Veeve is third last year at the SC4 World Championships.
Maka
Always seems to be in the latter stages of torrents
It's been a back-to-back top four for Levy the World Championship 24 25 as well
So we always expect him to at least
Into a knockout stage and what a coming for this game gravity was 24th in the table
It's all just really help you the player
especially because you don't want to play on the knockout stage as we see
Sancho with the low-tribune to make it 5-3 huge goal for the German player
and they do feel like a draw just as you were playing Richard doesn't benefit
either one of them because if you got seven points you might be through but
you're playing against the top 9-10-11 yeah right now if the table was to
finish as it is you'd play against Alihan
good luck with that. Samuel
game. Um, it's maybe even Rvp
legend. If Anders Vergan was
not winning last game, it could
be an Anders Vergan in ninth
place. So it's huge, huge
interest on those last games.
Of the league stage. Let's go
back to Levy and Abbey Macker
in the bottom left corner there.
They're representing as well.
Real. Incentive to go on and
pick up. Club championship
points in the grandest scheme of
the Esports World Cup here in
into a blue shirt, but it will be recycled once it gets through Abu Makas midfield,
Bezviki Lopez on the turn, who finds the top corner.
Levy is not confident at all defensively, you can see he's second guessing himself
with Sranaggo aggressive towards the ball holder, you can see that of course Levy
has always been in my opinion the best player second man pressing with our one
in this game, but he combines that with being aggressive against the ball holder and he was too passive in my opinion.
As we head into this match with Chris de Boer leading, still 7 goes to 5 against Danny Pitbull, but Danny Pitbull has made a bit of a resurgence.
on six points so it feels Auburn has to turn this game around from the other
hand line and then go on and win his last game there's the finesse is it gonna
fall nicely for the Italian the corner will do. We just see the life updates on
the right side of your screen you can see it gives the word winning 7-5 and it
seems like Danny Pitbull's streams might be over after this match. Yeah
unfortunately so, I think there will be...
Levy, Abu Maka.
It's an update.
2-2.
This was the moment for Ph. Jinn, where we heard the roar.
The Maudraa shoulder here on the stage.
Everyone, John knows that's a huge mistake.
Let's go back there if we can.
There's bottom left corner.
Abu Maka.
He's not just. Equalize here,
grab. He's taken the lead. Another
one. No one as well. Scoring
no gold. Yeah. As it stands
right now. We'll give you an
update. 70 minutes. Perfect.
Thank you very much. You saw
there. Neat. Five redwax six.
Danny Pitbull 6. Controller has been disconnected.
Danny Pitbull's FC Pro World Championship comes to a close.
He's got one more game left to play.
He has to score.
He doesn't want to be eliminated as well.
And that is the full-time result.
It's possible for Danny Pitbull to go through.
Alongside Adida.
Great defending.
nothing for either of them. They both need to win so we do have five needs left into that match
and neither one of them is happy as we just on power to levy against Abu Maka.
What have we missed in here Rich? Abu Maka. Yeah we saw the game I think we saw the equalizing goal
and since then having Maka with a quick fire double to go three to up.
We're only pausing that red like neat game when we can go back there. We will do not worry
You're not going to miss any of the action here at the FC Pro World Championships. I mean back here
Leading Wow
Here goes the two against Levy and this will put Levy in a real real dangerous waters going to that last game
Was he playing against in the last one because Levy you know being
It's still having his own hands a sucker drives up the net post
It brings a must-win game. You have to win.
You have to win.
It'll be on six points.
Chance, parallel, edge of the box,
Gill once again called into action.
A bumaka, scores for a pass.
Where do we go?
You see the games there.
The side of Hezzers.
Auburn, Alihang.
High five.
Auburn needs to win.
Even for Alihang, if he wants to finish top 12,
He's on nine points right now. He'd be going into his last game.
Up against Nilka Love, with a win putting him on 12.
Auburn must win.
Will Auburn win?
Nick Tomonay.
Kiko Nazareff!
What a save from Casillas. Let's go back to Neaton Redlac.
Top red corner right there.
89 minutes on the clock. Redlac through Pavlovich.
both players they know the one point in the grand scheme of things simply isn't enough
PH Zinn finds another goal 8-4 he will be pushing his way up that table onto 9 points and comfortably
in the top 24 maybe even with a top 8 aspiration.
That could happen on the other side of things. K1, John with just four points and not only that, minus 10 goal difference.
So he has to go forward, he has to score this one and another one.
He tried to go for these seven points in the last match of the day, but it's going to be a tough one because he's playing the La Liga by Champion D. Fernandez.
the ball. And he's got the
ball. Woof. No, Sada has done
the business 93 win against
heads as that leap Fox him in
the table up to 12 points and
with. Aspirations of finishing
as high as possible, trying to
get caught on quote the easiest
bracket play matchup in the
rankings. As you can do just
seeing a full time coming
through. Between Obran and
Pretty devastated.
We just see Obrun devastated, but we're going to jump over to
pH K-1 John, because pH knows job's done, nine points.
And let's see the end of Amumak against Levy.
This game isn't quite make or break, but...
it puts huge amounts of pressure on you in that last decisive match.
And this could mean, Saka.
Can Kimi all get back? Saka trailing away, but could quite get the trajectory of the strike.
This is the table as it stands right now.
We're going to, the top eight, you can see how it's starting to take shape.
Lot of players on ten points.
Our eyes, Grav, are going to be piercing that bottom half of the table.
Who has got it all to do?
Right, defending by Maldini and I'm just thinking Rich, there could be a world in which, in two hours,
Here we go.
Levy is out of the Hebship Award Championship!
Emre Yomar's 7 points, Emre Stocher is 7 points, Gifford's on 6, Virgil's on 6, Palonet's on 6, Levy,
Ilian, Brees, all on 6 and 5, Neaton 4, Obron on 1.
And Obron's result there coming through at the bottom of your screen, like a draw.
with him in the alley-hound.
At the moment with the courted standings,
Levy is out of the FC Pro World Championship.
He was back-to-back top four.
One game left to play.
Well, he's got two.
you
you
you
you
you
the game is going to be a
lot of games happening. But
what's the update in terms of
the championship points and
teams are performing well.
Okay, let's break this down a
little bit because in day two,
it's going to be important
heading into day three because
the point total that is set
today will determine where
ends up being said tomorrow.
That's obviously when we're going to crown a winner.
However, if we're talking CC's out of things,
it is absolutely stacked to the top
of our leaderboard right now.
And let me give you a little bit of a rundown.
We have VP in first place, Falcons in second place,
defending champs, Twisted Minds in third place,
Navi in fourth, but they did just get a win,
so it'll probably shake it up a little bit.
And then Vitality in fifth.
That's not counting AGL who are very quiet today,
but they're still also in this lobby.
I mean, there's so many storylines to be following.
That sounds like a lot of updates coming through from your stage tomorrow specifically because today they seem to have to get as many points as possible.
Absolutely. That's the name of the game. Just get points on the board today because tomorrow, technically, depending on how teams play, they could end in two matches.
I don't think that's going to happen, but it's going to be crazy for sure.
All right. Well, thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it, Glitter. That's it for us. We're going to keep you guys updated. See you around.
Hello, everyone, and welcome back. I have Krista Bort with me here on this stage. Chris, a very important
win there that you just had up against Danny Pickle because you started round five in 22nd
place, which is very close to that Immolent Elimination. You've skyrocketed all the way
up the standings as well, and you're now in the possibility of getting in that top eight.
But talk to me specifically about that Danny match because I was a must-need win.
It was a really important win, it takes a lot of pressure in this last day and I knew
without I was going to win, I was going to go through at least to the playoff match.
And yeah, I was really nervous to be honest beforehand, like one of my most nervous games
I've ever played I think.
But I was 4-1-0 in 20 minutes and I felt like okay, I've got this but then at the end I
got a bit nervous again but it was enough, I think I played well.
It's a bit weird playing someone who was already on 0 points because he was.
I tried to keep it out of my head and just play my game. I did play quite well and now I'm through and yeah
All right, let's talk about your journey so far here in Paris
You started off day one with a big win against Palonetto 10 goals in that matchup from there
It's been a little bit up and down or how do you feel about your overall performance so far?
I feel really happy especially after my championship campaign. I wasn't playing well and maybe people doubted me now
I feel like I showed that I belong here and I play well and
and yeah, more to come out more to come because your next game is up against
Matias Bonanno undefeated as well. And so if you want those eyes set on that
top eight you will have to go through him. How are you feeling about that
matchup against Bonanno? Yeah, it's crazy run from him this far. He won every
game. Yeah, I think we should see this game as a game on his own and I think
I got a pretty good chance against him. We'll see what happens.
Alright, Chris, thank you so much guys over at the desk. Matias Bonanno versus
Chris award that is going to be a banger of a match up, isn't it?
Looking forward to that one in a big win for Chris has three more points
and a little bit more comfort because it's getting tight in the middle.
We got shells and FG to break down everything.
We just witnessed five matches in the books for every player's one match to go.
Shells, let's take a look at what we just witnessed.
Big surprises. Yeah, I guess a couple of big surprises.
But this is where we see the emotions coming.
This is why I love this format every round as it gets increases.
you see them motion from players red luck versus me. I mean six six both of these players fought to the end and as you can see
From the reaction one of both those both disappointing red luck is unfortunately out of the tournament
But neat survives and he still has another chance but another obron against alia light
He fought to the end and he aligns one of the best players
But obron will sadly be going home as all I online or earning another three points over on is that the surprise for you of this round?
Well, I mean Ali online's been in fantastic for unfortunately over and it's it's the end of the journey for him as well as it is with Danny
the
team.
And that's the point that we
need people from that round with
regards to knee is gold
difference might be a little bit
that point really, really didn't
help him if he'd got a couple of
extra points, he would be in a
much better position is on four
points. Minus 10 gold difference
but K1 John is also on the same
with the minus nine goal difference
they're both clinging on. But just
to the knockouts. Well, it
might not be making it. As
you can see the highlights in
the side of the head. I know
most of these players already
gone through to the knockouts,
but talking about Levy the
way going into the tournament
we always spoke about that. We
know how good he is and what
he can do, but he's always kind
of hidden behind manual
control and M. A. You must like
said, he's only one game away
from missing out on the
tournament. But as you can see
from the highlights here from
that game, Levy the way is
taking abu Maca. Let me start
off one little off against
abu Maca, but I'm not. I'm
I don't know what it is. It doesn't seem to always click or can't seem to get all the final strings pulled together, but it still has a chance to redeem themselves.
What's the age difference between these two and what's kind of their big level tournament experience?
I think they're quite similar in age to the others. No, Abumaka might be a little bit older, but Levy DeWitt has been competing for the last four or five years,
and he's been at the top ever since he came to the scene, I believe, in 21, but he just hasn't been able to repeat the success as Emery Yilmaz and Manu Beto in the recent years, but he still has the talent to win it all.
he's got a little bit under the
radar a little bit. We haven't
probably given him as much
credit as he deserves, but he
is well within a chance of
getting into that top eight.
Standing in his way is a man who
has a 100% record. Matthias
Pinano. Alley online on your
screen. Going up against Oberon.
This was tight for a while.
Five five going down the
five. He's got a little bit of
a little bit of a little bit of
a little bit of a little bit of
a little bit of a little bit of
a little bit of a little bit of
a little bit of a little bit
going down in the final minute, a crucial go ahead goal.
And that is another three points for Alihan.
As we take a look at this one, Neat and Redlock,
the two players that could not afford a draw,
both facing elimination.
What do they do?
Earn one point each.
If you look at it though, Redlock was 4-1 up at one point
in this game.
So from Neat's perspective, it was a great comeback from him.
I think both players would be really, really disappointed.
Neat going into that game, looking at the position.
He needed a win there, no matter what, and he didn't get it.
I think we might see the end of me now pretty much unless he has a fantastic fantastic game
Top P8 Zin next the easy game at all. I mean for red like his commiserations to him as well
And I think being for one up and you let a lead like that and now your tournaments over
He's definitely gonna sting for him at home
But the only UK player to make to the world championship. He should be proud
But unfortunately his tournament is ended it coming through the play-ins entered this match with three points
will exit the match with four. He is minus 11 when it comes to that goal differential as you
mentioned though. As you take a look at the big board, Levy Finn, Bonanno, the two perfect players,
Nassada earning three more over Hezzers. A big win there. Hezzers is going to fall out of your
first group and denied. Remember, top eight. What do they get? A guaranteed top 16 finish as they
get a buy through the opening round. Yeah, absolutely. We're looking at this and we're looking
at that elimination bracket as it stands. Cacho has got a massive game. He's got the
safe bet bet but now I think gold difference is going to be really important for example
Bryce has to beat Google you know K-1 John his goal difference is poor so these guys
have to win big in the last game.
Let's take a look at the upcoming matches for this next round we have some big names
in action once again the ones on the elimination fight we got Kasha you got to look at Smolk
and of course you just mentioned him Bryce or Bree so everyone pronounce that the man
representing France is sitting at just five points you win here you jump up to eight points
you're going to think it's going
to be good enough to go through,
right? Oh, yeah. I mean, you'd
think so, but you can't really
commit to it. Jaffons is also in
action. He's playing RVP legend.
He needs something from that game
as well. A lot of players have got
a lot on the line here. She has
from a player's perspective. How
hard is it to block out the fact
that I mean, we're saying that
we're in the knockouts for the
next days. The beauty of this
format. This is essentially a
And the opponent could already be qualified, which kind of gives them a little calming against it and vented against you
Whereas you know you feel the pressure you have to get a result as you can see you could give up last-minute goals
If you're chasing the lead gentlemen, it's time to tease our mystery nation for those who don't know you can earn big in-game
All you got to do is watch the broadcast and listen in for the clues today's mystery nation
Apparently has posted one of the loudest clubs in Europe
have, especially in their home capital. Yeah, they definitely have. The letter of the country
begins with a T, shall we say. Yeah, a couple of former players from Manchester City have
come there recently to that league. Nathan, that guy is now playing in that country. Hopefully
that helps you a little bit. There's a lot of good hitters there. We've got a great match
of final question for you. Is RVP or is it going to be my man, Gioffanzo, moving through?
only one of them will seven points and six points. Yeah, I mean look, I mean, we just
don't want to draw in it. I'm going to settle the fence completely and not on snacks. I
don't know the answer to the question. I will support my man city teammate and Jeff
onza. Even though RVP is very good and I think he's got a tough toss against him. I think
Jeff onza paid well against Anders. I think he's going to do it. It's time to find out
who is getting knocked out before the knockout rounds. We send it over to the casters one
more time for round six. Thank you so much pocket FG shells. Yes, we are into the last
the league. The next round now
of the league phase for this
year's FC Pro World
Championships. This 36 players
technically still in the
competition in. I'd say about
two hours time, Ryan. There
will be only 24 left in the
competition. 12 will be
eliminated here in Paris and
24 will look ahead to what will
be a really difficult or really
exciting. At least for us knock
They need to win in order to advance. You see some of the matchups there catchers playing against Nicholas
He needs to win the game. Jeffonzo again has to win. He's up against RBP legend who can't finish in that top eight
But we want to finish at a high seed in that first knockout round. I was just looking at the history
The best examples we've got is the Champions League the last two years
What is the what is the point tally Ryan basically that's going to get you a top eight as far as we've seen
the top eight. So, for example,
players like Nick Thurston this
round. Manipa sure a Google for
ads. If they start well with
small guys here, by the way,
what's the start to know in seven
minutes against women? You could
be in the top eight this round
done. Yeah for me before the
tournament started, I said it
would be eight points or seven
points or a good goal difference
to get into the top eight. So
will be 8 points or 7 points
or a good goal difference to get into the top 24
to get in the top 8 I said 12 points again with good goal difference
it remains to be seen if that will come true
but what's happening right now in this game is that you've got small crews
pretty much eliminated unless everything goes in his favor which
I just don't see it happening and you've got Umat who again
if he wins it will put him on 11 points
don't know if it's enough, you need other results to go in his favor but
to be starting 2-0 down you'd be devastated with
the ball here, right? And who
desperately needs a win for a
chance to change their fortunes
in regards to a top 24. You've
got to say breeze. Breeze against
Guga for us. Breeze is on five
points. Goomers on 10. Catches
on six. Nicholas is on 10 as
well. These are the plays that
you don't want to match up
against in the last round of
actions. A brilliant full
through ball into the Kai
Saka now, as it looks to try and
pull a goal back in this game,
and it's done by Schmork. I mean,
this is unpredictable for him. I
to get into that top eight,
especially after the first two
days of action. I think one
thing that's very difficult that
is understated is sometimes when
you're playing it at somebody who
knows that they're basically out
or out in the case of let's say
Auburn idea that anything but
the bottom of the group stage
when you play against them in
that final round, the pressures
off of them and it's all mounted
on you. You have to win. You need
to have the initiative. They
don't want to end the tournament.
They don't want to end the
tournament. They don't want to
They don't want to end the tournament on a low point.
They want to get points on the board.
This is Guga Faraz, currently 1-1 against Greece,
who also needs to win.
You mentioned Greece having the representation there,
14 by Talencey, as Umet gets to go back.
He gets to go back, and that's a 2-1 lead
over that game for Guga Faraz.
He could be on a really convincing 14 points.
You'll be going through to the round of 16
in his first ever FC Pro World Championship.
Let's pause for this game if we can.
Let's go somewhere else.
If we've got the ability to do so, should we check him in Nicholas?
Briefly, if we can. He's up against Katcha.
Seven minutes into it.
And very close.
Defining his first opening goal, wins a corner.
What can we see from the ice man here?
Good piece again. His night world championship.
It sounds crazy to say that he's never won a world championship.
The closest he can was all that time ago.
Back in Denmark, that Neil Neil Graham final on a penalty shootout there.
And it became champion.
Speaking of world champion, here's one right now.
I'm not that passing. That's all the time. It was like it's a team liquid thing and that is a
Perfect example of it there in this game for catch you takes the lead against Nicholas as you said catcher coming into this game
26 place on six points. So he needs to
To win this game the draw. I don't think it's enough. His goal difference is minus three
So I think it wouldn't be enough on seven points minus three goal difference to push him in a win would do wonders for it
Nicholas
just while it will come into this tournament. Italy had the most representation, so to say.
Unfortunately, three players are very close to already being eliminated.
Oberon, Danny Pippel, gone, and if Schmock doesn't win this game against Umer,
you can rightly say that he'll also be eliminated on the competition.
I just don't see it being enough.
I mean, yeah, you're right. Especially when you've got Levy and Palonetto right on six points there,
but technically through yet.
I think it is. Unfortunate. You
told him about you never know.
Crazy things have happened, but
you just would need every single
thing to work in your favor. And
it also just firmly stacked
against him. Let's go somewhere
else. And give you an update
from the shall we go? Let's
check in quickly with RVP legend
against your phone zone. In the
right bottom corner. Let's check
into that one. It's a crucial one.
It's all branded for your funds.
I know you mentioned it before,
but he has to win this game.
win this game. Well, are the
P's on seven points right?
You follow those on six. That's
the life standings on your left.
Now we'll keep you up to date
with how that unfolds and the
fantastic team behind the scenes
that will continuously have to
update that with every goal that
goes in. Remember this round six
is split up into three past.
There's 36 players, six games per
part of the rounds. Only 12
players can play at once, which
makes this quite difficult run
because you could do your job.
I think that's a scary thing as
a play if you could probably
pick. I was being I'd want to
pay last like last round of. Of
the round six fixtures just
because you know what. You can
need to do. I'll say this
different, etc. as well. I've
said it's the Richard as well.
I'm sorry that you can't start
thinking about all want to play
this person. The knockout. Oh,
no, no, no. Yeah, the game in
this competition here isn't. To
worry about who you're playing
in the first stage of workouts.
you're in the conversation of
being a potential world champion,
but yeah, it doesn't matter
whether you're 24, 4, 11.
Claudio Peano now off the post.
Trifonzo. Coming so close from
that free kick to doubling his
lead. He still might be able to
do so now. He takes the time to
try and hang up a potential
shot. Pylox into Eastman,
Dempere, then falls to Peano
probably disguised to finish
because he is his toe gets in
the last two. I'm not sure
if you can see the last two
minutes, because he is his toe
gets in the way. And it will be
another corner. 2024 E Sports
World Cup champion. I like the
idea from your phones away was
taking the touches to areas that
I would say the least obvious
wasn't it when you're defending
coffee Legend where. You know
that if you turn you get the
angle, it's not going to be a
favorable position to score, but
they still can go in. Well, let's
jump somewhere else. They give
with. Google for as if possible.
He is just scored again. He's
going against three. One. He
leads. I think it must be set
about right. How impressed have
you been by the Brazilian very,
very good. You just as I get a
conversation before the tournament
started, you spoke about the way
he plays and the way how he's
able to be involved in matches
and especially in a group stage
where there are draws, etc. We
have made comments in previous
I mean, my question to you would be, I mean, everyone and rightly so is going around the basis of this man is the youngest player in the competition at the 36. And I'm sure we won't hear the end of that. But when you're that young and you have an experience, any bad moments in world championship
and the fact that he's
experienced adversity in other
tournaments early on in his
career in terms of. The
Portuguese League this season.
He would have had expectation
to win it losing out in the
finals to Lex. Each champions
needs missing out narrowly in
that topic. Fc pro and didn't
have the greatest tournament.
So those little things they add
up as a season progresses. What's
a key thing is being in those
positions to contend against the
other top players. Chance is
a very important part of the
tournament. He's been a great
player in the last few years.
chance here for the police needs
to score car. That's to save on
the post. But me and Richard
said about it. How much fc he's
played this year at the right
moment is also crucial Atlanta fc
pro open each champions League
League of Portugal the Plains
and now here are the World
Championships and the Liberty
Torres. He's played everywhere
that he possibly could this
season and he's peaking at the
right time. That's the key
moments for him. You see a lot
of players even manual last
year. No one really said on
world championship. But it's a
season when only picked up the
wins. He had a slow start to the
FC Pro Open as well. Speaking at
the right time is an understated
value to have as a player.
Well, it's coming close to
finding a goal back in the game.
It wasn't for Jill off the post.
He's not trying to rework this
way. It's a friendly. Well,
right, let's check in with
another game if we can. Let's
quickly go back to Umich
Schmalk. That's about to go into
halftime, but we've got to speak
game. Six two. I mean, it was
quite on day one and two. I
don't want to actually yesterday,
but what we see here today from
them is a very different
performance run, and it's one
that he'll be so upset with again.
As a player, you know, we're doing
that position unbeaten going into
the third set of group stage
games. You kind of think you're
going to get the top eight
because you're already secure,
my opinion, into that top 24. So
to be 62 down against somebody who's basically eliminated. It is an awful position to be in.
Nicola still hunting for a goal back in the game. That one.
is this happening? But this is
what I'm saying, Brendan, and I
said that at the start. Is that
is very difficult outside that
could be your number two big
save there for. Nicholas is the
pressure of playing somebody
that's already out and has
nothing to play for when you
need to win. And there's a
I know there's been a couple of results that you may not have expected, but you have to remember that
it's all the best 36 plays in the world and every player has a story of how they made it here.
Absolutely incredible.
Good defending.
I'm thinking let's go back. If
we can too. Again smoke if we
get the chance that was a goal
going to see the fourth against the D either as we join it live now a to ride he
knows two things ish more he needs to win and he needs to score goals you're
right about the ball difference part and who just looked like he's got a minus
10 goal difference again I don't want to be the person to just go divide me I
I just don't see it. But everybody else above him. Yeah, I've all got minus gold differences. The thing is though is the fact if he wins, he's on six points. You've got all those things that in and around the six point
market ready or five points that still have to play. You need crystal ball to lose. Yep. You need pH insolves, virtual to lose. Let it be it's a lose. Palo netto capture is currently beating Nicholas.
you can see goals exactly. So
it's not it's impossible, but
for every single box of that to
be ticked. And you to also win
by large margin. You know what?
If he does it fair play because
right now double digits before
the 60th minute against Uma is
crazy. Just wonder that. Where
was it before band and this is
the issue? This is ridiculous.
I've been critical because I
understand that as a player. It's
You know. Yes, it's very
difficult. It's not the most
goals that have been scored by a
single player was 12 of one game
and that was our VP legend.
Against me. In round four of the
competition. Great move. Schmuck
might be on to beat that record.
Here's Salma. Parduello looking
to twist and turn around the box
and send some of gamer into.
to get the ball back. Maybe
that just sums up the day. Right
there, Brandon. What is the
mentality like in this moment,
Ryan, because if you said if you
are playing this right now, and I
said you're going to lose your
first three rounds, but you're
going to win and draw your last
two rounds and you're going to
pick up a bit of momentum. You'd
rather that wouldn't you then
be on the side of women as in
would I be on seven points? Then
you mean? Yeah, I mean, you
as in would I be on seven points then you mean if I win that you were still be going through the top 24
Okay, oh yeah, that case absolutely first in here. He was on eight points I believe but he's lost his last
We're looking to lose his last two games going into knockouts and we haven't got
You're not going home. You're not going back tomorrow. Yeah, you're planning to get in an hour
That's that's a very difficult position to be immensely however. We're talking about a previous world champion
So he knows what it takes to build with adversity. He's had those moments where it's back against the
way he has to perform in a group stage format. And when he's somebody that we know has come so close,
so many years. Wow. A world champion response.
Then he needed the Hadid Ibrahim. He was trailed by two goals on two different occasions.
What's that for? How nice is it as well? I'm seeing Vinicius Jr in the
Syphonikulus. Oh great. Never really get to see him do incredible player video in
this game and in real life. He's just so good going forward. So is
Samu Gamer three three against Luke. Important to put some as it stands on
10 points. Water finish catcher as well into that top corner and the
celebration from the Italian because he knows he has to win to keep his
the top eight. Well, speaking
earlier to Venni yesterday, in
fact, he said the milk of love
game was the game that we had on
paper that we were going to win
ideally. That did not go to
plan. Did it? No, not at all. He's
able to win this though. That
game is in the past. You could
get all about it. It's also
Nicholas's hands at the moment
also lock in the top eight. As
you can see, Nicholas out the
top eight. Money for sure. He's
in the top so Nicholas could be
I don't think it'll be enough.
Again, you're relying on all those other players that it.
No way.
With 9 and 10 points of draw or lose every game.
I just don't see it.
12 points is the lucky number.
12 points of a good goal sweep.
Extra pass is beautiful.
Jacca.
Maddo, is this where he starts to pull away?
You'd expect so.
You're giving him a little confidence and it's not calmness as well
you're going to be able to
win a game. You have to win.
Especially when you start off
slow. Now he's up like two
goals. You expect him to put a
foot down and gradually put
away. Let's jump back then.
It's smoke. Remember the
storyline there. It is already
in the top 24. But if small
wins, they could be on six
points and you can have a healthy
goal difference. It was looking
better, but it's still a plus
it's still a plus six goal
difference at the moment run.
It's something and who knows?
I said this could be something
that you look back on. I think
you know, I'm really happy that
I went for it because that's
the difference to help me get
into that top 24. Play a lot.
Didn't really work out. We've
got an update. Also, we can
get a replay will hold for it.
But oh my Schmaw, what are you
doing? Oh dear again. What big
goal that could be to concede
from just that? But the update
the ball. You can't catch
against Nicholas first. We've
got this one for you. Wow. That
puts Jeff on so out as it
stands. That is crazy because
of the frustration as well.
Jeff on those on six points.
That will put R. V. B. Legend
on 10. Most definitely in the
top 24. There's so many big
hitters in and amongst that
the ball. It's not going yet.
Right. Big goal had to respond
quickly. Believe or not draw for
them to that. She I think it's
okay. That's right. Based on the
goal difference. Because
Jeffonzo's goal difference coming
into this game was a positive
six, which would be the best
out of the players on seven
I mean, I don't want to I do
I don't want to I do you get a
win. You also want to get
yourself a little bit higher up
the league standings run because
it goes about saying. I don't
know minute captured to Nicholas
Neal as we mentioned that was
the goal. What reaction I mean,
if you ask me it's catch you got
a better chance to be a milk
level Nicholas. I think we all
would have said milk love. He
is freedom up in that game. And
today. It's the knockout stages.
I thought he had him with that pass. He's gone the other way.
He'll come back here off the post.
Somebody saves right. How's the keeper getting him torn?
Wow.
Nicholas has got the gold back. We're hearing that. So he's three won now.
Lucky for Giofonso there. He's ended up winning the ball
because he jumped in and he could have been punished.
One side of your screen.
Get enough space.
I mean, Ryan, why do you want to look?
We are into the closing stages of all the games.
This is the goal back for Nicholas.
As we hear, there's been another goal that's gone in.
RVP Legends.
He's four free up.
This is the closing stage for a few of these players' tournaments.
What do we go next? We're going to pause on this game. Shall we check in with Manu Bashore if we can against Adida, the world champion?
6-4 he leads, but at one point it wasn't this plane sailing for him, it was actually trailing by two goals. Not once, but on two different occasions in the game.
11 seven that gold difference is slipping away from small concerns his tournament
Do stay with us
There's a lot to understand here in Paris, but it's the top 24 players in this league phase to go through to the next stage
The competition if it is 25th to 36th you are out
I'd like to say from here I'm only looks pretty comfortable
the game. He's not one of the
game. He's not one of the
game since his third match,
which is the context around
that is he was nine points from
a possible nine. He's lost three
on the bounce. We have to do
is with one of those last three
games, and he would have got a
top eight, so that's what he
the game. He's got a lot of
players around that is he was
nine points from a possible nine.
He's lost three on the bounce.
We have to do is with one of
those last three games and he
would have got a top eight
spots. You can see what it does
to the table. Put some game on
currently 14, but you'd expect
him to drop a few more places
afterwards as well because there's
a few more matches to go.
Absolutely just to confirm both
of those players almost
definitely going through to the
that is another safe from the
keeper and it will be a corner.
I can't believe he didn't play
that hard down the middle.
Can't believe it.
Kika Nazareff, play short.
Salah will shoot at strong
finesse and in or rework it
round the box for a potential
angle to finesse it in.
Need something here Brandon.
How much you yellow?
Kika.
Lukapakio.
Chao Hanoglu looking to maneuver
around in such a small area.
That's the chance of Masiyama.
Wow.
It's a put from Paco.
Full time result.
That might be the end of Jafonzo's tournament.
But he won't be for our VP legend.
There's the celebration.
He most definitely into the knockouts.
And we're not done yet, Ryan.
Let's jump somewhere else.
Wow, Nicholas.
Oh, wait.
It was 3-0, Bowen. He might be on for a comeback.
you're nervous because you
know your goal difference isn't
great. You need to win.
It's offside. In this moment
run, can you feel that momentum
against you? You can feel the
ice man. You can also feel that
you've gone from three to up in
such a confident position. Your
knees knocking against each other
as well because you know that
you don't want to give it away,
especially being in such a strong
position against somebody as good
as Nicholas. You know, you don't
you know that there's going
to be a time you're not going
to dominate the whole game
against Nicholas. There's going
to be moments where you need to
make it count and it felt like
he did. So for Nicholas to turn
this around so well. Yes, it's
scary for catcher right now.
Where's this one going to end
up? Another goal without
drastically to use those nerves.
I've never saw him. I'm going
to a lot of you in the chat
with updates on breeze. I don't
think you want an update on
breeze. I'll be honest because
he's not in a great position.
He is still trailing and but
and by quite a few goals against Duga for us. Chance, Nicholas!
It might be his ninth world championship, but they still want to see those veins!
3-3!
Well, well, well.
you know, I'm talking about
winning the whole game. We've
got a job. We've got a job
games if we can. It's the full
time result there. Let's go and
finish Nicholas against catcher.
Congratulations to Manu. Full
time there. Let's go to it now
No way.
At any time of one minute.
No way.
Was there a ball there was?
Oh, what can happen from here on?
Nicholas loves a free kick, if you know him.
He may have gone for goal, you know.
Is he going to shoot from here?
Is that type of guy?
He's going for goal and scores.
Shallon Aldo, the Nicholas.
Shoots, scores!
Nicholas!
At the death!
I just want you to look out stages in the FC Pro World Championships.
Unbelievable.
I know free kicks going right, but I didn't know they went in from that kind of angle.
Me and Rich always say when you're in shooting range, power up that shot.
That is dark for Katja. Was it 3-0?
3-0 Katja was leading.
We thought he was on his way to the knockouts. Nicholas said no. Wow. That's devastating.
I'll be honest. That is...
Well, the headline news is this so far. Nicholas is on 13 points. Manu's on 13 points.
And there's someone else who's still in a game at the moment who might be joining them.
He's only 17 years of age from
Brazil. He goes by the name of
Google for us. The other side
of things are Brandon team
Vitality and Greece eliminated
in the group stage. He was
running rock last year. I know
we had to go through a different
route. This year, the harder
task because he didn't get the
success to the regular season.
The top eight is looking nearly
concluded, but there's still more
action to come here in Paris. Don't
go anywhere. The league phase
continues off of this.
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes our super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City, powered by play.
Reach your impossible.
Here over at the Lenovo.
Well, Legion Gauntlet, we have some MLBB action, and Chris is joining us to really hammer home
how important this one is for Liquid to be able to get some points because they're currently sitting on zero points in total.
They are, but we were just having a conversation in the sense that you win one game and you're back into it.
I mean, look, that's easier said than done when it comes down to either you see the competition is very, very stiff.
But MLBB still could be that game for Liquid. At this moment in time, they are on a stage where playing GSL,
so they got to win two before you lose two. They've already lost one in their very first game.
They have to win back to back games their first one coming up. I was doing my pickups this morning on the EWC website
It was a night look at that plug the 95% win coming a 95% chance when coming through for them
So you'd expect them to be able to take it absolutely
But still two games you gotta win the pressure starts to come on when you lose that first game
They could still go on and win the tournament from here, but they would have liked a more comfortable start than they have
Yeah, this is definitely a very crucial week for liquid. So we're gonna keep you guys updated
I'll be coming back later today to see how they've performed. That's it from us from now though. We'll see you around
Welcome back everyone, I'm joined on this stage by Luke who had a very important game
up against Samo Gamer and talked me through that last game because it was a must need
needed win for you. Yeah, it was much needed for me to go through to the knockouts. Yeah,
some of the game obviously really good players. So it was a tough match, but at the end I
scored one goal more than him. So yeah, I win and very happy. Now you're currently sitting
10th in the standings. Things could move around because we do have another round to go. But
I have to ask after day one, you're sitting on zero points. So what happened? How did you
turn it around? Because you definitely did. Yeah, all year long, I played for one for
one. So with the CDM and two sentiments, and it didn't work for me just like in an ECL
where I didn't score that many goals but I also didn't concede many but here the level
is in my opinion higher than the ECL so I switched to 4411 just to turn things around
to just attack a bit more and that paid off I think so yeah I'm really happy how it goes
right now.
Alright well whatever you did it absolutely worked because it's looking like you are going
through to those knockouts but what is your mindset doesn't change at all going from lead
phase into knockouts because it is a bit of a different competition starting in a couple
hours.
Obviously every loss is now killing but I'm still unbeaten it for for one. So let's see now. I'm just yeah
Just seeing the next games and then we will see what comes and hopefully I will win
I will knock us right around the corner. Thank you so much to Luke everyone over at the desk for 411
Are we adding that into our rip-a-star because it obviously has done a very good job for him?
I'm taking notes well done on the adjustment here in the final day of the league play and
I mean, FG, you are all smiles.
Is that because it's time to crush some dreams?
Oh, I'm not smiling at that.
I do like it.
I do like the key crushing.
But can we just take a moment to discuss
how well that man who's just spoken to Casey has done.
Like she said, he lost both his games on day one.
It's amazing this format, how it offers
another opportunities for players.
He's through to the knockouts.
We're going to see him in action a little bit later on.
Now, I really embarrassed myself.
I called Luke Levy.
And ever since I did, he's been playing
like our top spotted player.
Just saying, may have cursed him in the right direction.
Let's take a look here at our updated numbers.
As you can see, Manu is gonna take the final win
over Adida.
That is a 7-5, which is brutal because Adida,
despite already being knocked out, played his heart out.
The man was up 3-1 at one point in that game.
Yeah, of course, unfortunately for Adida,
his tournament has come to an end.
But I guess you wanna end on a high.
You didn't make it to your first world championship.
So there's something to be proud of.
He's taking on $10,000, which is still a good prize money.
But he wanted to try beating the world number one
You can carry that confidence into next season.
We talked about the Jafonso matchup is the last going to cost him his spot in the bracket.
Well, we say that because we were sat here and we were stood here, so we were speaking about it last minute.
Nicholas gets a free kick.
That goal has changed a lot for Jafonso.
It's still not in his hands, of course.
He's played all of his games now.
We've seen it all happen.
But what a goal by Nicholas on the other side from capture.
That could be pretty detrimental to him.
I think that means that he's out of the competition.
to confirm that when we see the next standards in a minute. But Jofonso now, he needs to watch
this next round of fixtures and he needs to hope results go his way. Now, if you put yourself
in that position inside your hands, it's not ideal shells, but he's still in there. He's 20
seconds, as you can see. So, Kaccha is outside the top 24. But keep in mind, he has the same amount
of points as Kaccha, Levy, and Smok, right? All at six. So, it could come down with a goal
differential of the final players. But Kaccha is not playing again now. He is out at goal.
the last kick of the game. Ryan
Posso has said it on commentary.
He is scary from set pieces. Well,
I'll tell you what, catch us
having nightmares because he's
been knocked out because of it,
and he was leaving. But once
again, we see Nicholas coming
back once again, shown his
composure and he's found another
win. As soon as that free
kick saw and I saw it was dead
ball with Calla, I knew this
could be a goal and that is
unfortunate. Casio out the run
for his money, but your funds
are like I said, still as a
chance of these players on six
points. Their goal difference
is keeping them in for now
where's on the far right side.
Still the goal in the
on the far right side still to go in the next round. We're going to see Marwan up to bat.
Are we going to see an opportunity for him to have an epic final day of action FG?
He's got massive game, but unfortunately he's playing Nassada. I mean, six plays at the
minute, 12 points. He's been an absolutely fantastic for one of the best attacking players
in the scene as we roll through the highlights. This game had it all shells. It always goes
down to the last kick of the game in this format. This is another great advert for this
I mean, this format is just great.
But once again, I'm going to give praise to Nicholas.
He started the tournament off slow, but he seems to always fight.
And when you play FC this year as well,
when your opponent has a two or three go lead,
it feels like it might just be too far each but for Nicholas,
he's found his way to call a free play victory once again.
And it just shows his eyes man.
He's coming to win it all this year.
Yeah, absolutely. And who else but Manu Bishore, unbelievable.
But like you said, Puket Adida played his part.
Unfortunately, he's out of the competition.
We hope to see him again on the big stage.
the last game, but he's still
trying to get to the top. He
definitely thought his heart
out. He's three one up like
what it said, but Manu Bishore
does what Manu Bishore does. He
finds a way no matter what we
will be seeing him later on. Yeah,
once again, good sportsmanship
from Adidas because it's quite
hard to play your last game,
even though the tournament is
kind of over, but he still
tried his best. Unfortunately,
going home against Manu
Bichon, but this game gets
smoking. I guess this is a big
result from smoke because I
expected him to take the three
points there, and it's still
You can kind of save us up. Look how many goals small put up as well
That is gonna be massive when it comes to the tiebreakers that will be done at the end of this round
We still have two more sessions to go
Luke does he make it through wasn't enough points. He seems confident. Yeah, he's there
I mean Luke found a way like we said he lost his first two games in this format and
It can be a little bit of a slog when you've not won any points on the board
He's come out the other end of it
You played really well against Samu Gamer, who's also played really well throughout this game.
9 points out for Samu, 0 for 3 on the way back.
And that's the funny thing, things can change very quickly.
And of course, we've got to play the knockout games today.
So Samu Gamer doesn't seem to change things quickly.
He could be going home early after the first day, one and day two reforces.
Have you gave him one of the favours?
But this man right here, Guga Perez, his first season at the World Championship.
But knocking out the last year's running up.
This is a statement from Guga, and I think the way how he's played in this tournament so far,
Maybe he saw him that he could compete for the trophy.
Kuga already had double digits coming into this game.
On the other side, you controlled your destiny
if you were to breeze the local hero, unfortunately,
not able to get it done.
And same can be said for Jofonzo, Man City's star player,
going to fall at the hands of RVP Legend,
who's had his ups and downs.
Holds on in strong way.
Yeah, he's done his job, and congratulations to RVP Legend.
He's another player who'd be very happy with where he's at.
He's in the knockouts.
Jofonzo on the other hand, you can see what it means to him.
In that, to be in that position, I tell you what, we were shocked at that Nicholas 3 kick.
That might have just been a little bit of a fist bump from Jephonzo,
because he has been given an added lifeline by Nicholas there.
36 players entered the tournament. 24 will survive at the end of the day.
Unfortunately for this man, his end has come a little bit earlier than expected.
Let's go to the key crush live. There is a look at Adidas key.
I'm very fortunate enough. I
haven't really experienced this
before getting my key crushed,
but just to solidify the you being
out of tournament. Did you just
smirk at him? I'll be doing the
same thing. If I was if I beat
someone, not someone out, I'll
be smirking as well. But the
team I can get across. I'll be
devastated. A bit of an added
motivation for Manu. He's not
only crushing the key. He has an
opportunity if he does win the
tournament or whoever does to
take, I think three. I think
three. I think three. I think
I think three parts of other people's keys. I mean, man, he's done it before and shells.
Do you remember whose key he took? I mean, I think everyone will be putting
handers in their in their in their trophy if they could because he just causes a
lot of drama. Oh, yeah, I'm playing the world. But I wouldn't be surprised. I was
worried he just bent it. But that is a full on smash break and shatter. Our first
key destroyed here at the hands of the returning champ.
I absolutely love to see it. You know, I mean, I think I think the key concept here
that they have at EWC is incredible. It adds to so much drama. And it also sort of makes
it real that you've been eliminated. Once that sound goes and it crushes the key, it
is all over. And unfortunately for a few players, it already is all over.
Any surprise to see that an American was the first one knocked out of the competition?
You know what my biggest surprise is today? Puckett so far has actually predicted every
single player he thinks is going out. So before we started everything off camera, we were
Okay, name is you you're 12 you'll get a present from us if you do it, but you're actually like four four down
I'm crushing it right now
Right now. I thought we got to get to an interview Guga has scored at 13 points and he's on the floor with case
Right guys, I'm with Guga for Oz who is currently sitting 13th in the standings right now on seven points Guga
You've been up and down
Pretty much competition so far, but how are we feeling going to the last day of the league phase?
really confident today we have more two games so I think I'm going to win both
games so let's do it each now top eight is very very important what needs to be
done today for you to secure that top eight because you're close it's
definitely possible but what do you need to do today yeah I mean if I win a
buff games I have a lot of opportunities to be in the top age so
So that's my objective today.
Well, fun fact for everyone back home,
but you're actually the youngest player in the competition
by six days.
Is that on your mind at all being the youngest player
here at all?
It's nice.
Really excited in the first days,
but I played a lot of competition this year.
So I have a lot of experience.
And I win now more experience today, more years.
So really happy with this.
by Google. Well, I wish you the best of luck. I'll let you get back to it.
A confident finish to his run here in the league portion of the competition,
but we have a huge bracket in front of us.
Guga's moving through. The question is with which seed and you have to think
he's going to have a pretty easy first round. You take a look at this next one,
though, it is not an easy fight between the two men in the top left shelves,
both sitting at seven points, entering this competition just on that bubble of
taking another tap 24 and this is where it's unpredictable because bold difference can come into play.
Yes, they're sitting on seven points, which is quite comfortable,
but everyone else is still got a couple games to play and things can fall very quickly.
But Emily, I'm sorry, won't want to catch up right here.
I don't know really what to say about these fixtures.
So I'm not going to I want to speak about the mission nation.
Yes, instead, a little bit of a clue.
This team in the 2002 World Cup, the nation finished third, I believe it was.
If that helps anybody, that's a high finish.
I look out in the chat and see if anyone's got it.
But I mean, I think we've given quite a few clues.
A lot of Call of Duty pros fly there for hair plugs.
Some of them earlier than they wanted to.
Teeth as well, maybe.
Teeth, some veneers.
Yeah, you can get some work done over there.
Shout out to our mystery nation.
Best of luck to everyone trying to score
with players from that nation.
For now, we gotta get into the fifth round here
as we get into round of six.
Let's go to you guys, casters, this camera.
the end of the game. Thank you
Puckett. Yes, we are getting
closer. Are we to our final
24 and that top eight is
looking stacked. I'm sure we're
looking even more stacks across
the next two rounds. Of course,
we've still got 12 more games,
six at this part of the round
and six to conclude the game.
Brown and Smith and how many
alveres you know better as
Graves and taking you through
this one. Grab. I mean, we've
just saw one hell of around
Nicholas. You loved it in the
back room. What a performance
So clutch, I mean, I did think Gacha was going to take it, especially after the first half,
but then it went on and on and on and when that freaky happened,
you're talking about the Iceman, you knew it was going in.
Just knew.
And that's the thing with Nicolas, it feels like this might be the year for him.
A lot of that.
Finally, the World Championship, could you imagine?
Do you think he would be the goat?
Well, the joke was that he'd win the World Championship and retire on the spot.
I think the money is probably too good.
Especially when you've got $250,000 on the line.
If you are to believe this is world champion, FC pro world champion.
This is the lay of the line across all of the games.
Allian Lyme is at a fantastic tourney.
He's leading by a goal.
He might be on for a second goal here.
Remember, he did pick up that win against Anders Vagang.
A few days back, he's on 12 points.
You have to save and a draw for him should be enough.
to the top. That's we see the
replay coming in. First goal
from Alihan. It's going forward
to try to score a second. A lot
of love for Mr. Sorry as well,
because he's on seven points in
the moment, but there has
rumors really saying this could
be his final time that we see
Mr. Sorry, maybe a world
championship, let alone an
eSports FC tournament. I mean,
for him, it would be great to
see him into the knockout to
to the top. I mean, I mean, I'm
just looking here at the
potentials for a player that
could squeeze in on the eight
spot potentially with 12 points
of your list. You're looking at
the gold differences. The pH in
She think you could make it into the top.
I mean, I'm just looking here at the potentials for a player that could squeeze in on the eighth spot,
potentially with 12 points.
I'll be honest, you're looking at the goal differences with P.H. in and Anders.
Virgang is milk-a-love, has just scored a second in that game.
The pause comes in from Ali Alam.
We'll leave these two in their pause for a second.
Shall we check him out, Mr. Sari?
Against Emre Yilmaz. These two have played only twice before.
Mr. Sari!
He stopped them as to sorry from qualifying to that world championship
You wouldn't believe it, but this is the first time the Saras been out of world championship since 2019
Since 2019?
Of course he was the winner in 2018, wasn't he? He was
Run up in 2019 as well. I mean
It's one of those I grab you could win a world championship
Yeah, and you could do nothing else in your career, but you still have aura
you still have that world
championship. You're a world
champion. No one can take it
away from you. I hope I'm
praying to the FC gods that
Mr Sorry doesn't retire after
at least plays another world
championship because. I'm his
biggest fan to be fair. I love
him so much. You've done so much
for this court as well. By the
way, Anders, the game is in front
32 in 17 minutes in the game,
but Danny Pitbull. Maybe on zero
game. It's a very good game.
It is. That's so much that we've
seen quite a few times already
throughout the years and to be
for that me has been in under a
couple of times, so. We can go
for a third. This is friend and
ballet. It's the best and it's
over the part where do you want
to go grab because of us. We've
got a couple of games where our
eyes are going to be killed to
check him of Anders against
that game. Since we left it, there's been seven goals in 27 minutes. Let's check into
it if we can. The number one ranked player in the world, Anders, against Danny Pitbull.
As he stands, Anders is on nine points. He's got a plus nine goal difference. But is it
the case of defenders just out the window for Anders? Or could he concede a lot of goals?
He goes through again, scores!
Just...
I mean, no, far and there's, I mean...
He was dangerous enough, but now, he player locks?
What's going on, Brandon?
I mean, he didn't need to player lock to win the ECL, to win the World Championship, to win...
FC brought to win pretty much everything, but now he's player locking...
He's gonna stop him.
One of the crazy parts about Anders, right, is that...
Oh my days, what a game this is, by the way.
I think that's a good attack.
I mean, that go from many people
was crazy good.
Song for the 10th. Oh my day.
Surely not 55. Luca Paccio goes
for the chip. Another day that
goes in from Danny. Well, we
seen Danny people here play with
no pressure on his shoulders
because he knows he's already
out.
I do think he doesn't want to leave the tournament with zero points.
Just as we see the Falcons team celebrating something.
Shall we jump back?
Emerson Sari.
Against Emre Yilmaz.
By the looks of Emerson Sari, how scored again in that game?
2-1, he leads against Emre Yilmaz.
and Emre Jilmas was now on seven points. I do think even if he loses he'll go
through but this has been a disappointment from Emre Jilmas especially with the way
he plays on the league stage usually. Well he has to go back to Atlanta to get
in the FC Pro Open, didn't it?
Yes, you could be.
The third.
For this, Belligomber!
Desiree!
These three went up against the two-time each Champions League winner.
And suddenly, in our arena here in Paris,
we just wanted to get a bit of noise on the ground.
three and a bigger update for you. Let's go there now. Ilya Bushi. Can we check it
if possible against Abu Makar?
Coming into this Ilya Bushi, five points to his name. Abu Makar on ten. Grav.
What are we seeing over there? That's the thing with playing in Paris. You can get
the love from the team Vitality Pouvi fans and you can get when you're fighting
for your life you turn up and you perform four nil for Eileen Bouchie.
Eileen Bouchie playing his first world championships. Oh my, it's Danny Pitbull, six, five up.
I'm sorry for the producers because I keep jumping around but I can't help it. There's
so many good games taking place. Eileen Bouchie is stalling up and let's see this is going
and let's jump back to Anders
Verga. What are we witnessing
here? Six five 11 goals, and
it's not even half time yet.
And this is Danny Pitbull, who
is 35th in the league standings.
Five games played five defeats,
conceded 37 and minus 17 goal
difference. Against Anders
The level that you can produce on a good day. This hasn't been a good tournament for him, but he is pushing Anders.
He is indeed.
He's transiting the second man press a bit too much, especially if you're playing against Anders. You've got to be aggressive with the player switching with the aggression with the centre-backs.
He's trusting the second man press a bit too much at the moment, but you think Anders could be through to make a comeback.
It's Danipi.
I reckon this is going to be a square half-time, there it is.
It does look like it.
And it will have been two pass-offs at the moment,
just as we see the team vitality players going crazy on stage
and the team vitality fans.
Going crazy as well, Brandon.
I'm sure he's getting in the drums home as well. It's just about 10 yards behind us, Graf.
Now, doing all they can to push Ili and Boush Yompa, since we left him, he's conceded two goals.
Any four to up now?
Halftime, Nassada five, Marwan two.
Nassada's looking to be on 15 points with his goal scoring form.
He might actually be top of the table!
He might, which would be a surprise, not because of the quality of the player he is, but because
he lost early on against Levy Finn, so I'll be a surprise on my books, but let's see
what happens.
Keep in mind, Bernardo and Levy Finn still do have to play in that final round as Iliad
Boussi would try and finesse away, and they all back on the way, Anders and Danny Peerple.
the game. That's where a lot of
you at home want to follow that
game. Of course. Is the talk of
the competition. Believe or not,
he has lost two games since being
here in Paris. William Boucher
now looking to unlock the door
another finesse. We'll leave these
two at halftime. Let's go
somewhere else. Let's check back
here. Wait for the go grab. We've
got this all. We've got MS
to see. Things happening there.
66. And there's on the offense.
Those wondering as well. We are
playing knockouts today. We missed
today of action yesterday. We
couldn't actually play any of our
games here in Paris. So he says
it's a double headed. You could
all control. What a fruitball
that is. Can you get around the
goalkeeper, Salma? She very
Six, six this one.
Hamilton at the home for a seven.
Dion, into Luca Bakio!
That was going to be a goal as soon as it touched his foot.
He was too passive on the defence, Danny.
That's the reason why he's on zero points at the moment,
unfortunately, he's been too passive on the defence
with the second man pressed with everything, really.
and we can see a missile sorry,
it's him for a fifth.
He's a D graph and that's not even
a halftime emerald you lads.
He needs to know that he's got knockouts to play.
If he's lucky enough to get that,
which I think he could just be,
but if he's gold different swing.
It's not going to be on his side.
I think seven points would be enough to send you through.
Maybe one person might squeeze through on six,
but you need a really strong gold difference on your side.
It's got to be thinking about that in the back of his mind.
For sure. If you're thinking about that when you're playing.
But just as much as you're thinking about the drums as well, probably Brandon.
Ben Beley. Lovely pass.
Luka Bakio, 7-7.
Let's quickly check in if we can, Graves.
Sorry, it's a couple of games that we haven't seen at all.
P.A. Jinn against Neat if we can.
Let's jump over there, give it a little bit of love,
and then we'll go to Milka Love after.
Right, over here, 2-2 so far.
The story for these two players, Grave.
P.A. Jinn, he's on 9.
And I believe Neat is...
It's currently on 4, so it's a draw.
He'll be on 5.
I think he needs a win.
He's on a minus 7 goal if it is,
and he's speaking of which, he is 3-2 down on 4.
So, right, let's leave them to it.
Let's go back over to Ali and line Milka Love.
We can't get out of the way.
Let's jump over there if we can.
Alian Ly, Milka Love, we keep off with that again.
Milka Love, the lowest round playing the tournament.
Just as we see Neat attacking on the wing,
he needs to push through because it would be
appointment for him to get out on the league stage. On the other side pH even though he gets a win QP on 12 points
it might not be enough because I'm thinking there's could be a possibility in which you'd need 13 points to make it into the top 8
Yeah, I mean 13 points for a top 8 7 for a top 24 alien line has just scored again by the looks of it
He's up against Milka Love over here
And he's off the 15 points as well, Graf, 5-3, he leads.
It's a massive resort called Hallihand, I mean 15 points out of 18.
That's some performance.
He's been knocking on the door for a while now.
In the ECL, in the virtual Bundesliga as well.
And this might be his chance of showing the World Championship that...
The next gen is here, ready to compete for the biggest titles.
Lots of bad news. If you're a team vitality fan or you're a fan of Iliad Boushee,
he was falling up in that game. It's 4-4.
Abu Maka is using that drum for some kind of advantage.
Ali Alive has just got a 6th.
Let's jump back to Anders Vergang, Danny Pippel.
This was the goal that we just missed. 8-7.
the world champion is leading.
He's on the cusp of double digits.
Sorry.
Can he get a world championship?
Just jump over to Anders and Danny Peeble match.
this could be enough for Anders
to make it into the top eight
with 12 points, but he has to
wait for all of your shots as
well. Well, this would give him
12 points grab and a plus 11
goal difference as it stands.
He's got a plus nine coming into
this game, so he can look to add
on to that. But any people might
have the thing to say about that
was that from Danny Pitbull. Hello.
the game. We're going to go
penalty where will we get that just see this replay you were mentioning how the
team by telling to fans where he's appointed for silly and considered the
fifth just as Anders scores the 10th one are you telling me that any bush was
falling up in that game he's five four down yes how it's even wishy-washy for
you he can play at his best but back in f6 24 trying to qualify for the world
championship, he lost a huge match against Anders Bergen at Atlanta and then FC 25
playing in daily gun finals, he was leading the game and still lost the qualifier as well.
So that's the end bushy for you, you can of course play at his best, but sometimes the
pressure gets to him.
Can we go to Nassada if we can get over there if possible?
This was the penalty we missed, he has scored, seven, three Nassada leads now, coming into
this game graph. He had a very
strong goal. There is a plus 11.
He's got number four goals. Well
on to that tally a plus 15 that
will send him top for now on 15
points. But keep him on the
levy thin and banana is still
an actually a really clever
part from down and that's going
to be 10 eight now there in a
pause.
to the top. It seems like the
groups are shaping up. 13 points
to be enough to make him into a
top eight. Where do you want to
go? Where do we want to go here?
Because we have got. Some crazy
crazy last 20 in game minutes
his performance. Where should we go, Graf? I think we should go to Abu Maka against
Ilyan. Abu Maka, Ilyan Boucher, if we can. Four-nil. Ilyan was leading. He needed this
win. He was only on five points. Eight could have been a number to send him through to
the top 24. And then he ran into Abu Maka, who has scored six goals, six being four-nil
down what's a reaction this is a huge one because at the moment of course ilian is out of the competition but
abu maka just squeezes into the top eight with the result and of course that would make
andres drop out of the top eight it would it would be stealing his spot by a point but also
a goal difference of plus five remember there are still six more games to come after this one and
that is the end of the round concluded the top 24 go through the top eight of that 24 skip around
They go into the round of 16 and it will be a battle by the way, we've got a full-time result of first one the round and there's 10
Danny pit bull eight
That's the first game of the round to conclude shall we go and see the final stages of moments if we can and then mr
Sorry against emery Yilmaz
We know these ads
the team. An interesting season.
He saw Atlanta, the start of the
FC 26 proceeds and we saw him, of
course, in Saudi. In the FC
propane, but I'll tell you what,
this might be one of his results
of the season so far, Grave.
Definitely playing against
He's back officially.
There's just something about a world championship.
And Mr. Sorry, turning up.
Big smiles for the 2018 World Champion.
But for Emery Yulmaz, that's the defeat
to come at the worst time possible,
because up next, he's got a knockout FC to play.
He's only got seven points as well, by the way, Emery Yulmaz.
7 points and a pretty bad goal difference now with these results as well.
It's gonna have, I mean, a plus or a goal difference with all these games.
We have a minus 4 goal difference for Emery.
We need some goals.
A plus 4 for Desiree now and a minus 4 for Emery.
It is devastating for Team Liquid.
Just as we see the replay coming in, Alejandro.
make it a 9-4 where should we jump to see Alihan new club Alihan still
dominating the game is fighting for the top one position for the league stage and
I'm sure the Red Bull Leipzig fans are they have to be extremely happy with
He's playing perfect FC at the moment.
10-5.
Brownie and Lyme also with 4-1, CCB from him.
Ooh, Neat!
Hold on.
He's on 7 points now.
The one thing he doesn't have on his side though is goal difference, Graff.
So minus 10 goal difference still for me. You might be on seven points, but it would not be enough
Full time
That game is over now, I thought it was already done, but it's not okay right it is now 10 9
And as you win that game in the end, I thought they just put the controllers down
Nice to see Danny Pippo with a smile on his face, not a world championship to remember
there.
You see it need holding the wall, this could be a devastating result for the likes of
the next round of games. Because
that is going to change again.
Yes, the top a the top 24. The
gold difference. The place just
outside the top 24. Who knows
who won't pull back into the
race. But we will be playing
the round of 24 and the round of
16 points because this would
mean they will drop out. Of the
competition. Again, I know we are
trying to paint the store. If you
are with who's going through and
if not, I would say honestly just
of 24 and the round of 16 today. We will not stop here in Paris until there are eight players
left from 36 down to eight in one day. We have a full time result. Nassada 10, Marwan
5. That's Nassada on a very convincing 15 points grab. It has a neat looks to get another
That's really, I think we should talk about Nassada, because he did lose against Levy Fien and we all thought he was...
Oh, blocky! Scoring the goal for PH to drop me out of the competition!
Full full!
Happy Mac running away through as well.
as well. Hold on. This has been unbelievable from you. Just look at the live updates. That's
four players on 15 points at the moment. Full time Anders 10, Danny Pippo 9, Nassada 10,
Malwan 5, full time they're rallying in line 12. I think that's the most goals we've seen alongside
in a single game here in Paris.
Neat against PH in, of course,
is now 4-4.
Nabi Maka is 7.5.
Watch in that now.
And, uh,
M.S. Desire is just called
Goal number 7, by the way.
He's 7-3 up against M.Ray Yormaz.
Just as we see,
Iliand making it
6-7.
And we can see
team vitality fans going crazy because they know two goals are needed for
Ilium to qualify. A few people in the chat watching as well Graves saying about
wanting to watch individual games. You can if there are. You've been
watching of course across on the multiple broadcaster and offer. That is the
goal to know you're there for Abermaca for a second of what Ilium Boucher was
going to get at bat. But to my point I was saying there's a beat stream, a
to be able to get a little bit
closer to the C. D. A C and the
D string. The FC Pro World
Championships. Of course, you
can join on set Gatsby might
lapel. They'll be taking through
each of those streams. You want
to follow a game in a little bit
more closely. I know we've been
jumping around, but there is so
much action to try and squeeze
into one single broadcast.
But even if he does get a point grab, it'll only be six.
It's not enough, unfortunately.
He needs to win.
Two minutes of added time left. We've got three games left as it stands.
We've got P.H. in four-need for. You keep an eye on that grab on the right hand side of the screen.
the game. We're looking to just
try and take the time out of
this game that he needs to.
There could be a big match
winner in the right corner of
the screen tears really in
the last two points there.
Right. Last chance of the game.
Rubbo Mac. He'll be looking to
just try and take the time out
of this game that he needs to.
There could be a big match winner
in the right corner of the screen.
Tears really in push. He knows
that that is the end of his FC
Pro World Championships. This is
much more than just a competition.
The dream for him getting to this
stage of the tournament.
Unfortunately, that will be the
end of the road for the Algerian.
Grave, what's happened?
It's just cargo to qualify for the knock-off stage.
Nice jump there now.
Oh, oh, oh.
Meet P.A. Jin.
It was drama in the play-ins against Tex when he qualified
for the World Championship some penalties.
Let's jump over if we can.
full-time result. Neat. Snatches. Three points off P.H. in. He prays. Is that enough? He doesn't
know yet. The one for which he's not going inside is goal difference. He's on seven points.
Yes, seven points might be enough. Got a minus 10 goal swing. Might not be. P.H. in on the
he's going to be going through.
He's definitely the knockout.
Yes. But. He won't be the top
eight. I tell you that. Unbelievable
next round of action there, but
it's all on this one. Six more
games, six final games to close
out the league phase here in
Paris. It's up next. You do not
want to miss this.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes out super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kidea City, powered by play.
It's time your chair evolved, this is Secret Lab Titan Eva.
Ergonomically engineered for you, gamers, hybrid workers, artists, back in your every move.
Right guys, I am so happy to be joined by Rami Lue.
So he's honestly an online expert.
He's covering every single one of our leagues across the world.
If you guys have a question about FCE Sports, this is the guy to ask it.
So Rami, you've been covering this event here in Paris, which is absolutely fantastic.
Talk to me about your time here in Paris so far.
Okay, I'm so happy for being here.
You know how work I work on socials.
You can follow me, Ramirozo, Xida.
I'm coming every tournament.
And as I say, I'm so happy for being here.
I'm training a lot in the tournament.
They're really good matches that we are having.
All right, let's talk specifically about the tournament.
Who has surprised you?
Maybe you thought that they would do better
and they haven't necessarily met that mark.
Okay, I would say like this is a tournament
with the most amount of Italian players qualified
and some of them perhaps are performing.
So I have to say then, sorry for them,
But I expected more from the Italian players perhaps.
I on the opposite note, who has impressed you the most
in the competition?
Well, you know, we're in round five
and we have Levy Fim from Germany
and Mathias Bonanno from Argentina.
Like they are unbeaten.
So it's crazy to perform in that way here in the big stage.
So I have to mention them, of course.
Absolutely. Now last question.
I'm going to put you on the spot here.
Who is winning the FC Pro World Championships?
Okay, that's a really tough question.
I don't know if I can say a name, you know, I'm from Argentina.
So I could say Mattias Bonanno or Nicolas Nain, I've seen,
but I think every player could leave that trophy,
so let's see what happens.
Absolutely. All right, Rami, thank you so much.
Your coverage has been absolutely fantastic.
I'll let you get back to it. Thank you.
Welcome back everyone. I am joined by Emma Sasari. That was a very important game. I know everyone in the crowd was just saying you got your revenge on Emery Yulmez from the FC Pro Open, but how are you feeling because you needed that win to stay alive in the competition?
I miss this feeling a lot. I think I'm just competing very badly to be honest.
I know what I'm capable of. Emery is a great player.
They went from hope and from a knockout game against me next to my time to the all way to the second against Vanders.
So I know what I'm capable of. I think now after groups is over I would say warm up is done.
done and now it's about character, personality and the past two World Cups I played was first
and second.
So I think nobody had a high chance of podium finishes above me.
Absolutely.
You love to see it.
No, it's interesting.
It's interesting because you're going through to those knockouts as well.
You needed that win.
There's a chance that you could be crushing EmRace Key as well and so that's a very fun
one.
I know getting that revenge.
Is crushing a Key mean a lot to you at the end of the day?
Every liquid key means a lot for Falcons.
All right, he loves to crush a liquid key.
And I do have to ask you about the club championship as well, 14 Falcons.
You're a player and your points are going into that point total.
And so does that mean a lot to you as all of these wins are helping you
at the end of the day for your club?
Yeah, I mean, I was talking to a new which is the founder of Vitality
and we're very good friends.
I was just congratulating me on being able to play on the World Cup.
And I was saying I want to be the guy who imposed points for his team to be like,
I think I would be the first in history to be as a CEO founder,
who even gets points for his team.
So I think that would be fun.
I know what I'm capable of beating.
Emory, which is top two, makes me obviously knows what I'm what's my level.
And I'm just looking forward.
I am a accessory.
I'll let you get back to it,
because more games are on the horizon for you here today.
But guys, over at the desk, he loves to crush the team liquid keys.
What are we thinking about that?
We love that call out because if you were joining us earlier
in the club championships, Falcons were currently at 10th place.
Liquid, well, they're down at 30th place.
And Liquid so far is not going to get points from the man.
They were kind of banking on.
He was the highest ranked player coming in.
Emery is now out FG shells.
How big of a loss is this to Liquid?
I mean, he's not quite out.
I don't think I think he's got a little chance.
There is still a little chance,
but it's out of his hands. Yeah. Okay. So he's at seven points. We saw the celebrations from
neat right at the end to score a winner. Massive winner against P eights in. But just looking
at the table, Emre is on the same point, but has better goal difference. So a bit of an
interesting one. Was that celebration in vain from me? I hope not for his sake. Let's take
a look at the highlights. This was the game between Anders Vergang and Danny Pitbull. And
is very gang. And I mean, they both played really, really well in this game. There's
a lot of goals in this and in the grand scheme of things doesn't really change
which for Danny Pitbull. I did want to say great commentary from Brandon on this
one calling out the fact that Danny came in bottom of the leaderboard very
bottom zero points has nothing to play for it's going nearly double digits yes
and shows the sportsmanship from him and Adida you know both defense didn't have
the greatest tournament that they expected to have but they wanted to give
it the end and you want to end the season high and you don't want to just be a
bad sportsmanship further game away but unlucky to Danny Pitbull who gave
Adam is a run for his money meal club losing to alien line. He's just completely shown his thought it dominance and alien against abu maca
This was a tough one because I thought he had had it right 30 start again
This is a crazy bottom alien and I know he's such an emotional player
This one will be so frustrating for him because he was so close to having a chance to make the knockout and to give
Of a four-year lead that is gonna be hot. Really and controlled his own destiny
He entered that match with five points. He goes away with zero. How big of a loss is this for him after? Yeah?
I mean he's out like he said we're gonna see his kid get crushed and that is confirmed. He's no longer in the tournament
It's a massive blow for him and a massive blow for his fans here in Paris
Remember representing Paris Sanjuman. They would have bought a lot of fans here to that main stage that game between the Sada
I mean the Sada just was fantastic in this game attacking. He's been so so
Impressive those that there was a lot of goals in that one not the result my one would have wanted
Yeah, my one you really had a chance to redeem yourself
But unfortunately, it was a little bit too late and you can see the last minute winner from deaf and neat
That's helped him to give him a chance to make it around to the knockouts round. That's a big result
Let's take it. Let's let's just talk about what we're seeing here right now. We spoke about your phone. So earlier on is now dropped down to
23rd, he still has to get through one more round in action in this next round levy David massive story
He's going up against levy Finn who has the opportunity to go a hundred percent in the league stage whilst also knocking out a back-to-back
back semi finalist in this competition in Levy DeVille.
We've also got Virgil fighting for a place.
Paolo Netto's got another game as well.
K1 John has got a game against D. Fernandez.
Taking a look at that, there are a lot of players
who could be moving around and there could be some players
binding themselves eliminated without even playing.
So if you're Givanta right now,
you're trying to avoid a win from Levy DeVille.
You're trying to avoid a win for my own nephew, K-1 John, and Virgil, of course, is right behind you right now.
Yeah. As a player, I would be terrified.
I don't know if I could watch the game because my butterflies would be running in my stomach,
but your funds I've given yourself a chance, that's all he needs.
And of course, for most of those players, just a single draw would put them above Giffanto as well.
It's gonna get spicy here in the final round. FG, any final thoughts on what we're about to see here as we close out League play?
I mean the massive story is Levy Levy David. We would never have expected him to be in this position
He's we're used to him getting in the knockouts. He's been back-to-back semi-finals in his competition
He could be going out. We need a huge performance from him against the man who has not lost
He's like 100% record. He's been perfect
It looks like Emery for now is safe, but the man who is not well
It's alien and his key is about to be crushed. Let's take a look at the action
just walk me through this moment because this is brutal for the guy who's going
home and a great feeling for the man pushing the lever yeah me for abu mac
he would not be angry at all what a beautiful key that is by the way but
for me it's definitely a breaking he's smiling if I had your key under that I'll
be smiling I'm the biggest mile in my face but I think for Ian it was just a
heartbreaking loss and he tried all year till you know he worked so hard and he
was in a great position for no up but unfortunately abu mac I mean he's a
I think everyone in this competition can win it. And Abu Makkah with the Saudi support, you can see Dossary having the fans. I'm sure Dossary and they're playing against each other. I wouldn't want to see what happens.
I think everyone in this competition can win it. And Abumaka with the Saudi support you can see DOSRI having the fans. I'm sure DOSRI and they were playing against each other. I wouldn't want to see what happens. But Abumaka, he's a great player. He burst into the World Cup Championship a few years ago and done well there. He can win it.
Shout out to our usher by the way just kind of pushing around the dust at the end of that key crush
The keys are absolutely getting shattered here at FC and we have plenty more keys to go
Final round coming up here in just a few moments
If you have star players to look at shells, who do you expect to move through and who has a chance to move into our top 8?
I mean it's definitely between eyes on the levy the weird versus levy finn game and the K1 John B
Fernandez game. I mean levy finn has been superb
I'm not surprised that he's not going to show his level, but Levy the weird, he's a big fan of him,
but he has to win this game if he wants to go through. Of course, Karim is back, has a chance to
go through as well. If he beats Virgil after just seeing his teammate get eliminated around before,
I'm sure he wants to try to redeem it from him.
And Paul Neto at six points pointing against Oberon, who's had a terrible tournament. Is that the best chance?
He has, but Oberon also is the type of person to not want to just sit down and lose this game. He will
not want to end this tournament with another defeat. It's been well below his standard,
well below the standards we've used to seeing of Oberyn.
I think that's a game to keep an eye on. I could really see Oberyn getting his first win there.
I mean, we even saw it with Adida and Danny Pitbull. They're fighting to the last breath.
Yo, I think Oberyn will be doing the same in it. I don't know, he still has a job to do.
Red Lock in a similar position going up against Hezers, who is playing for a spot in the top eight.
It is going to get spicy. It's going to come down to gold differential.
If you're looking for one player to lead this group, this lobby, that we're about to have here on this stage,
Who's been the flashiest of our
stars in this league, Charles?
I'll probably say Levy Finn.
I think Levy Finn.
The goals that he's been scoring
and more.
I like the dribbling.
He's got his kind of own
distinctive play style going
forward.
Having a big fan on Levy Finn.
Matthias Bonanno as well, by
the way.
It's been fantastic.
We haven't even touched on him
right now, but he's been
absolutely flawless as well as
Levy Finn.
And that Levy Finn game is going
to be quite special.
We're going to see both those
players in your top eight.
They're already at 15 points
guaranteed.
Here's a look, though.
though. And a man who is walking over zero. The number one ranked player in the world going
up against Danny Pitbull for his final match and Danny put up a great fight. It was nearly
a 20 goal game at the end. It's the Falcon walking away with the smile on his face. Yeah,
Anders, this won't be the last time we've been seeing him smile. That's for sure. He
just loves this type of stuff. And of course, the more plays he can eliminate, the more keys
he can crush. And listen, if he gets his hand on the trophy at the end, we're not going
I mean, listen, one thing's for
certain. They are not easy to
crush. Machines do the great
job. It is just a shame to see
such a beautiful item gets
smashed to pieces. I wish I could
get a little piece of it will be
perfect. We absolutely love the
EWC and what they do here. This
is such an amazing feature. Adds
a little bit of an edge and
maybe some future way to sort
of motivate Danny Pitbull knowing
that Anders Bergang is a
No, not under this work and crushed his key in Paris now production. Is that it for the key crushes?
Do we have more going down because I feel like we still got to do a little bit more math before we officially send players packing
Gels, this is the final fight for a lot of people for others like Jeff Fonzo sitting in this watch in this match
Have you ever been in this position?
Where you are waiting for others results to find out if you move on or not?
Yes, I'm good teammate and behind the scenes cost the right person
We had a club or cup talk tournament where 2v2 we're hoping on another team to get results that we lost on penalty
She asked me what watch the team win on penalty. She asked it was heartbreaking
Oh, I didn't they all you need is a chance and has a fan listen the butterflies in the stomach
You can't recreate do you speak to the person who's destiny who has your destiny in their hands?
I do just leave him to it. What was your approach bring the situation?
For example, if you're Jeff on so and you can't do anything is there a I mean Jeff on so in the position
to do the rounds today. Yes,
just speak to a couple of
I think it's maybe depending
who it is. If there's a close
friend of mine, I think I wouldn't
want to put too much pressure on
them. Maybe if there's someone
like a hit that maybe from all
an obron, for example, I'm going
to open up and I think please
brother, I'll do anything for
you. Do you think we are getting
another key crushed very soon?
I can see potentially. I think
that's the starter over there.
Not so that will be destroying
Marlance key. I think that will
be far on with a very tough loss.
Entered that match with five
points could have moved into
your top 24. Instead, Nassada with a great finish to his final day of lead play action
is moving in to our top 10. For now, the question is, will he stay in the top eight? Celebrating
with this key crush. Yeah, I think when the starter leaves, I thought we was talking about
him a lot on day one and day two, and now he's slowly going under the radar. But you
see other players start to shine. But I think it was a starter. He is one of the famous in
this competition. He's been one of the famous all year. As soon as I knew he was in the
pro open, I said he could win it. That's how good Nassada is. And if he's playing at
he can give anyone a run for his
money. We're in such an amazing
position here because we've
like we keep mentioning we've
got so many players, but
genuinely anybody. Yeah, once
we get to the knockout stages
could win this tournament. We
are in incredible surroundings
right now where we might be
looking at someone like Emory
Gilmaz, Levy DeVille, not even
making it. And that is just
showing the quality of what
we've got here in Paris pocket.
I mean, your predictions,
they're going quite well,
but I know you definitely
going to predict Levy DeVille
So sorry, my guy. For now, we got to jump into the game to find out is Levy moving on or will it just be his teammates fighting for their lives in the knockout bracket?
Let's go in to the casters.
Just guys, yeah, we're actually underway while Q's getting crushed, games are kicking off.
Hesers and Red Light in action. It's 1-1 at the moment. We've got Krimi's back and Virgil there underway. 7 minutes in, 0-0.
the ball. We're going to see
that. O'Brien and Palo netto
nil nil at the moment, but I
know one one against Trista
Boer and Levy Finn and Levy
to be just about kickoffers
wait for a final game, which
will see Palo netto in action.
We've also got K1 joining
action against the Fernandez
ramps over the impression the
numbers. Yep. We pretty sure
that Emery Omar's would be
the game. The reason is
because the players below him,
the three that could overtake
him. Or the four I should say
with the Fernandez, Virgil
Palo netto and levy the big
remember K-1 John's up against
deep and and it's correct so
that it can't one person go
away. What was it? It will
swap the worst. Emory almost
from finish is 24. But if he
does imagine that game
potentially against Anders as
it stands right now, Anders is
now so that would be a first
game. The big players on the
to make sure that he will play
no further part. In this year's
finals and he started off really,
really well. Yeah, I've watched
it for levees in that position
where it must be points. It must
be points for him to qualify
through a draw makes it really
tight. I mean, it makes it
I mean, it probably wouldn't
be enough as equal as up there
against Levy Finn. It has to be
a win for the guarantees that
a joint again, you're relying on
other things going in your favor.
You have your eye on your teammate
in color netto fooling
into the world exactly.
Yeah, few other results to work
against you.
I think the worst position to be
in right now is if you're
neat, Defonzo
have been played, you've done
all you can do and you're just
sitting, biting the nails down
to the bristle, waiting to see
if results get away. After the
game, Defonso played, I saw him
heading out towards the end.
I don't know if he came back in
or not, but we looked
devastated. He looked
dejected thinking his tournament
is done already. The saving
grace is there is still a chance
and when there's a chance, you
always have to have that element
of faith in hoping that it's your
day. We've seen it though in
this format. That's happened so
many times in the final round.
the game. He's got a lot of
players. He's got a lot of
players. Um, people was too
by the each MP3. You can
shot big saved from Cassius
there, which it brings the
heavens waiting for. Again to
go his way. Unfortunately, it's
not been a tournament to remember
for red luck. The final match
that he played in. Neat 66 draw.
If that were going another way,
you look at the game. They had
against Auburn as well. 77 draw
the team. They're going to be
going to the next round. We're
going to have to do. Business
some man on a mission. As for
living to be a win is needed.
And a win is what he's getting.
At the moment is a long way to
go as all big gets one back
there, but team liquid looking
for a full house going into
championship Sunday, especially
they would have been seeing the
page from team vitality both
and just to add to the drama as well, sorry Ryan, K1 John D. Fernandez not kicked off yet, as it stands right now K1 John is
32nd on 4 points with a minus 9 goal difference, if he wins he goes to 7 points but the goal difference swing would need to be drastic
The Fernandez is on 7 points with a minus 3 goal difference. If Palo Neto and Leverdeveed both win, it could be teetering potentially down towards the bottom.
I mean Virgil will drop out, Giofonso will drop out and then you've got one spot to play with really.
the game. We need to get a
camera on some of those guys
need your funds. Oh, we need to
see their reaction throughout
this entire round. Levy to be
turned the game around very
quickly. It's lovely. Finn. Did
you need to get back into this
game quickly? Absolutely. I
think for the confidence as
well for Levy to be who know
that as the clock ticks on
against somebody that's in a
hot form with Levy Finn being
unbeaten in this tournament.
Arguably player of the
I wouldn't have had everything five out of five.
The Sada, five wins, you probably said.
He would have had five wins.
Nicholas, four wins in a draw.
13 points, Guga, four wins in a draw.
Manu Picchiore, four wins and a draw.
But now I think, maybe not one that you would have put up there.
No, I wouldn't have had.
But he, again, I was watching his game play earlier today.
It was against Paolo Neto.
Plus seven goal difference from Banana.
25 goals scored 18 goals
conceded is criminal. It's
done enough though. One goal
every game pretty much. Palo
neto was the big swing three
goals that he scored against
the 74 victory every other
game for 35445443.
For banana at five and zip
at the moment speaking of
banana for one down to
crystal ball, but there is
one back to make it 42 crystal
ball for people wondering
he's pretty safe nine points
looking to go to 12. He's been
quietly going about his
big table. But if he wins this
he going on 12 obviously it's
not enough to get into that top
eight but it's still a
infinite probably 10 or 11.
Yeah, he'll be high up. So
someone you don't want to play
though in a way because he's an
awkward opponent to play against.
Obviously the players wouldn't
be doing this week and
hypothesize though from the
commentary position with the
data that we have. There's a
world in which you think in
wife Emory finishes 23rd.
I don't want to finish 30 or 40.
I know we saw a master salary as well. Just just before crushing the keys with the interview
as well. Looks really impressive. I didn't really know what to expect this season. I
didn't get to watch his domestic performances. Obviously finishing runner up, but the game
against Iliad as well. I thought, you know what, because I thought that's a tricky one
on paper. Yeah, somebody of the newest newer guard in the scene, player locks, creative
the back of the net from
banana or back to the. Split
games where we can see all the
matches taking place at the
moment because once again,
turn your attention to Palo
Neto, Obron match. Talk about
having destiny in your hands and
taking it by the scruff of the
neck Palo Neto. It's got seven
goals in the first half.
I can tell you they are just
coming out the tunnel now just
kicking off. Just even more
pressure. I guess, well,
that's my safe mix. It may help
in terms of K1 and John is
called to be telling him how
many goals he needs to score
what you need to do. You need
to do. So that does benefit
him a little bit. But the
essence of the game is the same.
He has to win back quite some
distance. Well, we've seen
someone go from such a low
position in the table to
to qualify through his 32nd.
Put me into this game. There's
not three on the bounce as well.
Yeah. His first win was his game
that you the first game you play
after that. He drew against
summer and then he's been beaten
eight five seven two and seven
five against crewings back,
Nicholas and P H Zinn. Mr Boer
beating the man on beaten at the
to see in particular right. I
know you're looking at crimmies
back and Virgil. Yeah, I was
going to say, but I haven't
really seen much of that game.
I don't know if it's possible
at halftime to jump across if
they're not in a break, but
they are replay. Just kicked off
about exactly K1. John Kenny
knows what he needs to do, Rich.
Early start. There's been only
one goal and we're half time
between Karim is back and Virgil
game. It's a scary position to be in, especially when knowing that the other
players who you're relying on to them to follow are winning, not only what but both
of them. Three of them in fact, because Cape has gone. That is, yeah, Destiny is in
his own hands at least, but he has to pick up against Curran if he wants to stay in
this tournament. Great run.
Loving the lead. A man who's been there, he's done it. World
the first time we've had
championships FC Pro opens.
Representing the Netherlands on
the biggest stage. Clutching
up when he needs to. Yeah, that
was lovely. You can tell what
he wanted from before when that
run from someone started to.
Play looked inside towards the
center of the picture. He
eventually gets it first time
I think it's just a case of
banana or five wins already.
You know, you're going through
the attention span, not the
attention span, but the attention
just slipped ever so slightly.
What a finish that is as well.
I think he's a perfectionist,
though, who would have wanted
to win with every game you play
and but also the fact that it
sends a statement to everybody
to play in this level of
tournament and not lose again.
Is ridiculous. It's unheard of
basically what you do. Maybe
not in, uh, in actual
functionality, but. You should
if you finish first in the
clip stages. Have a nicer
bracket run. If only it worked
that way. Never seems to never
seems to work, especially when
I'm going to look at the
this round started in the top 24. You've got Virgil Jaffons, O'Neat, D. Fernandez,
Emre Yilmaz. The live updates are perfect. You'll be able to see 20 of the 24. All of
those five players within that.
I've been Macca dropping out of 13 points.
That's sickening.
And there's Virgan, 12. Christopher, 12. That puts him up to 11th. You're looking at
Pierre, J. Nemeston, sorry, Luke DeVile.
We're going to get an Emre Yilmaz.
We very much, yeah, we might be, as we look at the live table as it stands right now,
Another game if we can.
It's a game where Virgil needed to get points here.
It's coming in six points.
As it stands, seven points. The goal difference is zero.
So it does put him in a position where he would actually eat from.
Emery, you'll amaze me. Di Fernandez, you are.
the game. We're going to see
the game. We're going to see
the game going between while
the players get rescued and.
Regame composure before those
knockouts. See that mistake
there from Virgil going forward.
It's just when you're nervy, you
make little tiny errors in the
player switching with the
passing it just a bit off it.
How long after 85 K one John

game.
The
average
cleanest ball it seems.
Such an animation. They didn't get
interception on it. Scott
McDonald. Palo netto playing the
clock at this point. He's going to
be in.
the other game. Let's go to
another match. Just leave it on
this screen for one second. We
look at the scores. Has is
the game. We're going to see
the game. We're going to get the
story here, Ryan. But there's
so much time to play in that
game, so. Maybe we see the
combination of this one. Anything
can happen with these last few
months in the other games. This
one we saw plenty as you said a
whole second half to go. But
I'm left. There is a goal,
Matthias Bonanno equalizing.
Let's jumped into a pause as
well. Yeah, this is the place
to be. It means back 31 up
the game. He's going to be
going into that bracket play as
a 22nd, 21st ranked player. On
paper, right? So nobody will
want to play his love of the
first game. A chance don't
appear in any stage of a
tournament alone early in the
knockouts. Where do you edge of
the box? He's shown a lot of
patience. You take a look at
the game. He's going to be
going into that bracket play as
a 22nd, 21st ranked player. On
He showed a lot of patience, utilizing the shielding as well.
Nikid Lopez, technical dribbling into Salman now.
He's waiting for a chance.
That's Kiko Nazareff. Good tackle.
I was wondering if he's going to size up.
Pachel just take a touch and just decide which way you're going to go and then
try and get a shot.
It was good defending in the end from Karim.
Virgil has to go for it.
Has to.
Does he know maybe the permutation's around him?
Does he know what's needed from him?
to play a lot of fake. To try
and create just a centimeter
an inch of space in around the
box around the place you want
there. Palo netto is in. He was

was the first time. I mean,
it was but I don't get another

What game that is? Chris is
unhappy. The mouth. Kicker goes
that mixed years. Banana has
gotten this game. This one that
will jump on over to it live.
to be the winner of the
final. Could be six wins from
six. Which is certainly a
statement. More than the
statement into the round of

the game for Palo netto two.
This is one of the last question
match we've got from the groups.
K1 John. Or D Fernandez.
Finesse from the end of the
watch to see us with the save
and with these four time results
from. Selection of other
matches coming in in particular
looking at Palo netto. I'm
the back of the stage. Obviously
banana now interest the ball. We
should start to get a better
picture. On absolutes who it
will be placing where right
so. That's where. Will meet
being World Japan that we say
these sort of questions that I
know you're asking at home. That's
the game. He's the only player
that has a bit of jeopardy
relying on this game. And if
he won John wins, meet is out.
Yeah, and I think these two
would go through 24 23rd. Wow.
I think he's going to be the
best player in the world. He's
going to be the best player in
the world. He's going to be the
best player in the world. He's
going to be the best player in
7 1 against Levy Finn. Defended.
Aggressive. We're not going to go
there because the story is here.
Levy David story was very simple.
Winning your in.
That's OK. One John and D
Fernandez. There's a few more
chapters to that story. He needs
two goals came on John and he just
takes the blighter foul to get
K-1 John wins.
K-1 John can go from 30 seconds
to 24th
if he scores two quick-fire goals.
The other question that maybe we can't answer
where is this level of E-Bean
in the last two days?
Yeah, exactly. But, he scored yesterday
and he looked so calm.
I mean, look at his games.
He beat D-Fernandez 8-6, he lost 8-7
he beat Neat 8-5
he lost against Nassada
to be able to do that. Yeah.
Then lost his abu Mac and that
felt like the one to swing
potentially saying there could
be a little bit of jeopardy
here. He's put that jeopardy to
rest in emphatic fashion.
Levy the V will be in. To play
later today. The question is,
will he be into tomorrow? Yeah,
exactly. That's all of team
to give them a good potential opportunity. If they'll a couple of them make a run in the tournament, they can get some points on the board.
It's D-Fernandez. Running it on goal here. There's opportunities to go across goal. He cuts inside.
And he buries K-1 Johns. World Championship campaign this season.
season. And he hopes and dreams
or ambitions of winning the
world championship goal to rest
with that finish from Dave
Fernandez. And it's the result
that Dave Fernandez simply needed
as well to qualify himself

So the truth is, anything can happen.
Welcome back everyone. I'm joined by Matthias Banana who is top of the standings. He's
unbeaten 6 for 6. Mati, how are you feeling? Because you had a great last couple of days
didn't you?
Of course, I'm really happy because I won all the matches but now important things
in knockouts.
I have to ask you, when you first arrived to Paris, if someone would ask you, Mati,
are you going to be top of the standings at day four? What would you have said?
know but the practice was really good so a little bit I expected but of course not
I say yeah I will win every match so now I really good. What worked well for you
because I was so impressed by your attacking all of your attack has been
so stellar these last couple days but what do you think in your opinion worked
really well for you in your gameplay? I think in attack I have I don't know a lot
options in terms of the tactics, in terms of the skills, through balls, everything.
So I think it's all about the practice.
Alright, and last question for you.
I'm going to put you on the spot.
Now being top of the standings, do you think you have what it takes to be a world champion
tomorrow on that big stage?
I don't know.
I work for that, of course, but I'm focused right now in round of 16.
Alright, well, I'm going to throw it over to the desk.
What do they think?
Matias Bonanno could be a world champion tomorrow.
Now he's going to have to wait till Sunday.
Bonanno definitely on fire right now.
The shells and the man I like you heard is moving into our top 16 guaranteed.
He doesn't have to play this opener round of the knockout.
So if you're in his position, what are you doing from here into your next match?
I'm trying not to change anything at all.
I mean, he went six or seven tests.
But none has absolutely dominated the league phase.
And I think you don't want to change anything,
You don't want to get too comfortable. You don't want to get too confident because now in the knock around things are
Resetted everything since square one one loss. You're going home, but he needs us to stay what he's been doing because it hasn't
spoken yet
I mean you can see just maybe slightly behind us. He's brought his family here with us and here as well
It's a Paris. I don't know if they've had an impact because the way he's played in every single one of them games has been
Super going into the knockouts is something completely different like you just said
I mean, but if you're another
player, you don't want to run
into a man who six from six in
such a difficult on it. You
see the results on the screen
there red like again put up a
fight. Unfortunately it wasn't
enough. Hezza has been fantastic
as well. The big result, though.
The one we have to focus on is
the man who had the destiny in
his own hands. He needed a win
against a guy who won five games
to Levy DeVied.
Levy DeVied is in.
He controlled his own destiny,
and K-1 John was in a similar position,
unable to accomplish his goals.
His key is gonna get crushed tonight.
Yeah, I mean, the commensurations of K-1 John.
I thought he had a good chance to do it against D-Fernandez,
but D-Fernandez needed that win himself.
And Levy DeWitt, that's the type of statement performance
you needed to do.
You're playing against Levy Finn,
he was on beat in the tournament time,
trying to join Mateusz Bonanno,
but he ended up, that's the type of confidence
because you kind of need for the reset in the knockout round.
But even Neat, you played this game last round before,
We thought he was done, he managed to scrape his way in.
I can't wait for the knockouts.
When we get out, let's get the official numbers up
because I saw on Wikipedia,
there's been some improper results being scored.
I thought Neat was through.
You're arguing how he's definitely gone.
I'm with you now.
I think Neat is definitely gonna make it in
and K1 John is gonna be on the other side.
FG, any big surprises for you as we wrap up six rounds
in the first six games for all of our competitors?
Well, unfortunately, a previous winner is out.
the first time. And that last
minute winner from neat means
everything to him on the other
side also capture was
eliminated by last kick of the
game by the ice crazy finished
fifth. If you look at that top
A shells realistically speaking,
you've got to point to our
number six. We've got to point
to our number six. We've got
You've got to point to our number six Guga for us. What a tournament is had so far. What a performance in the league stage
He's been amazing and also one more thing Anders Vergang has got to play a knockout game before he can have the opportunity
To play one of the top eight he finished 10. Yeah, like to say with Guga friends throughout the season
Every game I've seen him pair tournaments. It's like he was in every game and that's a great sign as a pro player
The fact that now in the world championships
He's turning them drawers and losses into wins it shows his dominance on how good he's really at the game
But like he said Adams burger not making it into the top eight into the knockout round
But listen gentlemen, I don't know how the bracket works, but is there any chance ten plays 23 and nine plays 24? Oh
My gosh, I just realized this is all my gosh. I just realized
Well, we are about to see one of the most craziest knockout rounds you've ever seen.
Let's win on the bracket officially before we get to that. Walk me through some of the highlights.
Yeah, Chet, you can't do it.
Listen, we're waiting for the knockout fixtures to be confirmed.
I think you might be right, Puckett. Levy-DeVeed as well.
We spoke by one nil down and you can see very early on what an awful moment that was for the goalkeeper.
But the thing is with Levy-DeVeed is he's been in this scene for a long time.
He's a very professional guy. He wouldn't really have been fazed by Levy Finn's
Five games before he was focusing solely on that one. What performance he booked his place into the knockouts
You can see in the top corner shells crystal ball was on fire against Matthias, but now no Matthias
But now no ends up winning. I mean there's a reason why the boy went six for six
It just shows you kind of need to bring and be at all points of your game and put those with Arnos
You think when he's losing he's still in control and still believes himself that he can pull the result back
and that's the type of results you kind of want to take it to the knockouts. Yes, you went six and six
You was losing in the last game
He still managed to see out the victory and that's the type of morale we need you need in the knockouts as well
Yeah, in terms of red like it wasn't meant to be this time out in Paris
Congratulations to him and all the other players who bow out of the tournament
I made it to the world championships from Heser's perspective business as usual great performance by him will be seeing him soon
In the top eight he made it. Yeah with Heser's
I feel like his confidence is growing every time we've seen him in more tournaments. Like I said before,
he was never really known for his defensive style. I felt like his defensive side of the game was always letting it down.
Goal scored, we know he can score goals. But I feel like the last few tournaments,
he's changed the way I defended, changed the way I was keeping the ball,
and I think he can really make a run to make himself a world champion.
It seems like a high-scoring medal right now. Is this his time to win if there is one?
You know what? I think there's so many players that we can say that can potentially win it.
I think so many players so far in this tournament have so glimpses of being a champion.
But then also shown that that week and as for example, he's lost a couple games, Nicholas, he's losing a couple games, but he's fought back a couple games.
So there's so many players where I think on that day they can win it.
But why not? It can be Hezzers, it can be Nassada, it can be anyone.
Virgil also with Destiny in his own hands was on that six points just like Gioffanzo unable to score a draw.
He is going to fall at the very end. Karim takes the three point win.
Yeah, Karim was fantastic actually in that game and he's been fantastic. He's had great season as well.
I think it's so hard to you work so hard for this tournament. Sometimes things don't click, you know, you can prepare so well at home, things just feel good, but you can't get the results. But of course, Virgil, he went to the very end. Unfortunately, he will be going home. But once again, it's so unpredictable. This is why I love the league face. Every result matters.
the way he was. He was
really good. He was really
good. He was really good. He
was really good. Once again,
saw a potential this while of
the leaf face every result
mouse. The knockouts are going
to be absolutely crazy. Fuck
it. You know, I actually
genuinely don't know where to
look. We're going to see
heavyweights. We're now at the
point of the competition. We
saw obviously 36 and we were
like this 36 is very, very
strong reminder. The likes of
neat who just made it through
last kick the game. He got
through the playing. Yes,
fall just how far can he go what is better story the way that knee is getting into the knockout bracket
or the way that kasha got knocked out of getting into the knockout bracket oh i think beat down
knee i think the plan story is is superb same with manu beto last year he came to play and then
end up being a champion i think if you do that you went through the grit you went through the grind
if you can pull that off i think it's a crazy achievement but yeah focaccia was just a heart
breaking loss for my free kick from the side of the lock it was tough production's gone silent which
means they're probably preparing that bracket and double checking it with all the admins as they should.
I think there's a few uh a few keys to be uh to be cut as well which is is happening which
we'll update you with but there's also a mystery nation bucket. There is a mystery nation and
shells for those who don't know what what is going on with the mystery nation. Why should
everyone in the chat take part? Because we can get easy and good objectives and packs will it but
FG do you want to give the clue? Am I going to reveal the mystery nation now? We'll wait for the uh
So to go ahead, we gave you clues earlier on to finish third in the two thousand and two world cup
They've got players playing in their league now that have moved little Premier League fans love have a historic champions ignite
Yeah under the city and one of the cities as do Manchester City or Roger winner in their city as well recently
Yeah, the national team is nicknamed the Crescent stars. Yep. I would even
for those who know about the present stars.
I genuinely wouldn't have known that.
So that probably doesn't help.
I'm pretty sure we can.
You can Google it though.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Like if you haven't got the answer already,
feel free to put it in the chat.
We will reveal it to you very, very soon.
Share it with your friends.
We want you all to win at home.
Shout out to everyone who's been tuning in.
Since the start of League Play,
we just concluded six games for each player.
We're about to crush 12 keys.
And of course, the final 24 are playing for the $250,000
and title of EWC champion.
Shels, I asked you at the start of the show,
who is in the herd?
Who is in the goat conversation?
And did they all make it through
the early portion of this competition?
They actually, I think they all made it through actually.
Yeah, he would say that.
They all made it through.
Anders Vergang, I think is obviously the main guy
we're gonna have to talk about.
I know he hates us talking about it, he loves it really.
Listen, I'm a bit scared for everyone else.
Because he didn't make it through the top eight,
he has to play an extra round and a knock-out round.
Now, I know there's early prediction
that might be Emery Yomas,
And now I wouldn't be able to call that one.
But if Anders gets hot there in a knockout where everything's reset,
this could be his tournament once again.
Well, of course, Nicholas is still in the conversation.
And Mr. Sorry, the king of the jungle, he's back.
And I think he can win it.
Imagine a CEO versus their own player in the final.
I would find that.
We've got one of our EWC champions out, Jaffonzo.
2024 winner here is now gone.
Manu's still in the mix.
Anders still in the mix.
Gee, you have a favorite FG.
You know what, Rai?
I just I would love Levy to be to win it. Yeah, he's been back to back top four
He just he's an amazing person off off the stage and stuff as are a lot of these players
It'd be a really nice story for him
It's hard to look past Anders Vergang like we always do there's something really really special about him because I feel like he finds
It really difficult to motivate himself in league stages when he knows that there's still a knockout
I don't think he finds I just think when he loses in the group for the league phases. He just uses that as the orderly care about this because you know what he backs out with the trophies.
So I think you can use that against it because really and truly it matters in the knockout and you can't argue with his resume because the guy brings trophies.
We've got serial winners here by the way as well in this we've we've not even mentioned Abumacca the Saudi League champion
He went there against the sorry who finished runners up in Saudi this season. He's won something
Nassada's had an incredible
EPL champion 66
Bananos won the EPL. We've got the legion winners as well. It's it's it's crazy. Let's take a look at the bracket
I'm told it's ready. We filled long enough and here we have it official for you round of
24 is gonna see all your competitors that were just outside
Oh, where are you looking for all those on their cell phone?
Where do we need to zoom in?
This bottom right side of the bracket is wicked.
That Falcon versus that pony from Liquid.
And then looking even around the 60,
we've got Manu Betjo and Nassada waiting.
The people that's named on that side of the bracket alone.
We've got Levy the way to put D. Fernandez or Kaper.
Emory Yilmaz versus Anders Vergang.
Winner plays Manu Betjo.
Now, does this mean that Levy would also
run into the winner of Emory or Manu?
Are we looking at liquid just knocking each other out for the semis?
Yeah, this is a nightmare situation if you're liquid.
If you're neutral and you're watching this, Emre Yilmaz, Anders Vergen,
the reignizer of another rivalry.
There is a big rivalry between those two players.
I'm looking at the other side at the top left and you're looking at P8s in Samu Gamer.
And you're looking at where Matias Bonanno is, round the 16th.
Yeah, he'll be really confident to make it through to Sunday.
that's Samu Gamer P8 Zin game the person who plays Matias Bonanno. I mean either way it's going to be fireworks
Samu's been in grateful P8 Zin of course that it's another South American class between the two
It'll be full of emotion. There'll be loads going on that is going to be
Chelsea's we take a look at the bracket who has the strongest region right now in FC
I mean I might be biased I think the European boys really there's something about us. I think there's too many
But the South America's I do think I have a little bit of source about them
You see Google for as a banana Nicholas. They can always make a run for the tournament trophies
But I think the European boys do have that little bit of an advantage if we're looking at this
We have to by the way off camera get your predictions bucket a hundred percent. We definitely do
100% get it for sure
If we're looking at this who do you think is is your favorite to make it through to the round of six?
I think Nicholas is smiling right?
He's like I play Kareem or I play the very bottom right player in this tournament at the top side of it
I'm like hezzers. I'm not really too worried about me. I will of course was looking ferocious on day two
I think I want to be Nicholas right now in the bracket. Yeah, if I'm on the left-hand side of the pairs of pro player
I'm not saying any of these guys are be able easy opponents
But I would rather be on that left-hand side of the bracket and if you are there, I feel you got a chance to win the trophy
Here's a look at our keys being crushed as the first one is getting dialed in who is doing the honors
walk me through these players guys yeah let me fit in there crushing a key I mean
I'm not being funny these keys are beautiful yeah absolutely amazing
unfortunately you get your key crushed if you've got no place to play in this
tournament and we're gonna get rid of 12 keys here pocket now of course you will
choose three opponents keys to put into your trophy if you win it here at EWC
it's an excellent way to celebrate not only your victory but the downfall of
of your opponents and the big names is Levy Finn going to be one to gun after. Yeah, I
think Levy Finn will, I don't think people really want to cross his key, but we have
the chance of maybe crushing three of the goats key that's in the debate. So if I'm
Levy Finn and the rest of the guys, if I'm going to be put in the sorry hand, there's
a manual, even Nicholas, if you want, imagine having those three in your trophy. That's
a little bit of a bragging right that you can take forever. We talked about Paul sitting
on six points. He had the opportunity to lock into the top 24. He does. So what's
the first time. He's not
going to be able to get the
first time. He's not going to
get the first time. This is
reward. Yeah, he's crushing the
key of over now actually as
well. So that's that's another
huge name who were losing here
in Paris thinking about that
bracket again as we see these
keys getting crushed. We are
about to see some of the best
matchup through seen argue
with all the others were going
has got so much more to offer. We haven't seen the real Emory Yilmaz. I feel like you
needed to just find a way through. He's done that. This could be a game for the ages.
And I don't know if you guys remember Emory Yilmaz and Anders played a game for the season.
I think it was like EU or something else. It was one of the highest levels of FC I've
ever seen in my life. And the fact that we get this in a world championship, this is
what we're talking about. And this should be a final type of game.
I just scrolled back they played each other day one their second match. It was eight seven
Yeah, every time they pay against each other. I'm telling you it's great FC
This leak they're literally going at each other highest level skill and even throughout the season
They've been competing but I'm this he has got the trophies that I can't I think Emre can maybe
ruin his dreams by it massive win here for Kareem as he's able to secure his spot in the top 24
able to crush the key of Virgil and it is all smiles for the young man who knows
he's moving on at least to the second half of this day. Yeah I'm thankful
Kareem he had a disappointing day one a day to host with his teammate Marwan at
Monaco but he managed to redeem himself, got the wins he needed and put
himself in the knockup racket and that's all you need to give yourself a
chance to put your hands on the trophy he is still smiling because he's not
going home yet. Yeah if we're looking at Kareem as well of course he's
league champion. We haven't mentioned that enough this man as one is
domestic league.
And who do you take down in that you leave it all?
But this is what I'm saying, so this is, where we're looking now of course there's rivalries
being reignited all throughout.
I'm wondering if we can just take one more look at the bracket when we get a chance just
so we can dissect it whilst we've got a bit of time.
Because mate, I'm looking at this and there's so many possibilities.
There is a real possibility of a new champion based on this bracket as we take a look at
it now.
Because shells, if we're looking at it, let's just focus solely on, for example, the
you're going to be really confident to make it to the quarterfinals. Yeah, of course,
because you know you skip around, but I just feel sorry for Manu Bacour and the side off
to be honest, because Manu Bacour potentially playing against his teammate no matter when
he's going to go through, because he could be playing against Emery Yilmaz or Anders.
If you win then then you could be playing against Levy De Wich. The Team Liquid fan, I'm so sorry,
could you do a parallel net on the top, but you would love to spread out your teammates.
But I'm just looking at the left hand side. Yeah, I think if I was a player and that's
Yeah, I think if I was a player in that situation you talk about MS. Desiree
Bonanno, Levy Finn, even Nickniz. In my head
I'm thinking I could actually get to a final and it's not because any of these players are bad
But you just look at that bottom right hand side of the bracket even looking at Ali and Lion at the top of the other side
That is a war zone on that right hand side. We saw earlier on like later earlier on this week
We saw rivalry between Anders Vergang and his previous team RB Leipzig
Well, I'll tell you why. If M.S. Desiree goes through, he faces Levy Finn from Army Lighting, so maybe he can do, and there's a little favor with that one.
Also, the lowest ranked player here, Milka Love.
Oh, yeah.
If you look at his side, that game against Karim is back based on how he's been playing.
He will be confident to go through and wait for him. It's the ice path.
Yeah, but even his loss against Anna's Virgo and in the group stages, Milka Love, he's probably shot everyone up in this competition.
No one probably would expect him to get this far, but he's managed to put himself into the knock-around and against Karim is back
Anything can happen, but once again, I gotta reiterate if Anders makes it through those two games against Emre Yielmans and Mani Baccio
He will be on a heater. His confidence will be through the roof and I'll
Everyone if he makes through that be careful. I'll be so scared. We heard the Falcons fans earlier for MS
Just sorry as well
He plays Krista Boar in that first round thoughts on this one is just sorry the favorite
You know what it is you have to sort of back for the sorry maybe because of where he's been at
Chris the beam in the lead face being incredible though. Yeah, he's been incredible. Christopher, but
So that about a mr. Sorry imagine if he does it one more time and I think he's gonna have the crowd support behind him
I'm sorry. He's too cool. He's been doing this for years. He's a veteran this evening. Of course
We've got a lot more FC around the corner for now. We're going to a quick break
We have more keys to crushing special interviews live from the desk as our players take 45 minutes before they return to the stage
We are back.
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City, powered by play.
Hi guys, head's up here.
Hello guys, I'm Kacca.
Hello guys, I'm Kaccha. Hello, I'm Nassara.
So today we are going to play the power rankings, but not of skill, but of aura. So let's see.
We start with Dani Pitbull.
He's my friend, so I cannot start with him.
Honestly, he has aura. I agree, he has.
But not that much.
I agree, yes.
But not that much.
I even told him he scores last minute against me, broke him for open, he screamed crazy.
So you said, yeah, he screamed crazy.
Yes, but just scream is not to ora.
But bro, he's like pushing everybody.
I agree with that.
I would say A.
I would say A, but I have to tell you one thing.
For me, ora is when you play someone and you are scared of him.
Yeah, that's another thing.
Exactly, A.
Sorry, I just...
A, say, yeah, I said that is A.
Easy.
Abbo, he lost really bad last year, I will go for C, for me it's B, you pick.
I would say C too.
Yeah, so it's C.
That's why he's Japan's, he's world champion.
World champion, huh?
I would go for A, I would say B too.
Never.
Never.
Yes.
Chris, so you pick this, okay?
Because he disagrees with us, no?
Yeah, Lucio.
Lucio, what do you think?
He's a young player, I don't know.
I think he thinks too much. People who think so much can't have a lot of hour.
No, no, he goes really angry, you know, never compose a lot.
Do you think it's minus hour?
I'm sorry, yes. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I will send you anyway. You too?
I will go and see. I go there as well.
Sorry for this. Sorry for this.
I will go for rest.
He's even doing the shoes bro and this picture
We don't have
Only without like seeing him, just the name is over
Yeah, yeah, of course of course
A text too bro
Honestly, S, big S
For me, text is S too
Yeah, easy
No doubt
S, S
I agree
No doubt
Breeze
One, two, three
One hour plus here
Two friendly
Yeah, two friendly, you know
Don't be serious guys
B or C
I have your B or C
You pick.
For me it's the same of you, but I will go for the same.
What are you looking?
You were looking-y, eh?
You were looking-y.
You were looking-y.
Well, Manu bro, two-time world champion bro.
I would go for A.
I would say A2.
He has aura, but S, Anders and Kakes are like...
Shame on you.
Manu, I'm sorry.
Manu, I'm sorry for me.
I will explain.
He was too respectful.
Nice way to say sorry.
Yeah, he's too respectful to have aura.
Nice way to say sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Honestly, for me, it's S2, for me, but it's because he's not a world champion.
It's called 90 minutes. Anyway, I agree, but I agree.
I agree that it's called.
S, S2, S2, S2.
It's called.
Honestly, I think we have a good ranking. Only Chris could be C, to be honest.
No, I won't keep it.
In this picture, he looks too young too.
That's true.
But I say with this.
This is a key.
And just like every single one of the players here at the competition, I get to get one.
Not because I actually won anything, but because it's really important to demonstrate the actual value of having one and being able to hold on to it for the entirety of the competition.
Because you get to put it up in the totem.
And to me, that is super exciting.
So let's see what that's like.
like. This is absolutely incredible. The view is great up here. So now this is the totem.
We have our keys. Imagine being the winner, getting on this platform, having the fans cheering for you
and all you got to do is grab it and slot it right into where you want.
before we rate the other, and after we rate ourselves, so we start with you, and I'm
I'm scared to play Lucho-Edzers.
Only one of us can win.
Because he beat me every time.
We don't talk about player level.
So you are friendly.
In match you have no hour, bro.
I don't agree.
The nickname has aura.
The nickname has aura.
I think it's between B and C.
In my opinion.
I would say between B and A, so let's agree with B.
Okay, so I just is here for us. What do you think for?
Bro, your own chaffons is world champion, please.
Yeah.
I think that if someone see my name is like S, it's correct.
S is too bad.
I'm called.
Look at the S, look at the S burner.
Also, all bulldozers, you're too funny, bro.
People think bad about me. They don't know me.
He's not a good guy. He's not a good guy.
You're a bad guy?
Yes.
Because someone don't put me down.
For you, it's funny.
Because people don't ask me things, but like I'm always saying the truth.
So you put yourself in S.
Yes, 100%.
But we agree B.
We agree on B.
I don't care.
We don't believe you.
I don't care.
I don't care.
He beat me twice this season so I can't say anything.
So I would say C with Breeze and Daboumaka.
But you had all round B, man.
I'm not expecting.
I don't care.
I won't care.
I won't care.
What are you going to do?
It's fine.
It's fine.
What would you rank yourself?
I rank C.
It's between B and C.
I would say B and C too.
But C in the end.
No, we go next.
That's all.
It's real first season, we must say that.
I told you what I mean for Aura.
For me it's between S and A. It's cold.
It is too much.
In game.
It's cold.
When you see him punching the desk, you think it's Aura.
It's Aura.
It's Aura.
Yeah.
In DBL, I raged, I was punching him and I wanted.
Honestly.
Yeah, but it's not Aura.
No, for me it's Aura.
It's one jokos that destroy the racket.
That's Aura because he's angry on himself.
He knows that he's the best and wants to win.
That's Aura.
We know, we know, we know.
No way, no way.
It's over.
It's no control of emotion.
It's over.
But angry also can help you in playing better.
I'm just taking every 10 seconds.
Yeah, but he's the bolt.
Yeah, I won't put you here or here.
Hey, yeah, come on.
Hey, I say hey.
So we don't make any more problems with you.
Hey.
I respect you.
I respect you.
With the two-time world champion.
You sign it, huh?
I sign it.
He's signing. Perfect, bro. I'm proud of it.
You had to rate a demo from 1 to 4 in our...
The S.
The S is Nico for me.
No, first is Anders.
For me, it's Nico.
No, first is Anders, bro.
For how long is he playing? He won every single tournament this year.
Every single tournament he won.
But when you make somebody coming out...
Two times for open winner.
What do you want?
Okay, but when they say...
Nikolas!
Nikolas will come on the stage.
Yeah, but he has, all right.
I'm not saying more than others.
He's on now, bro. Anders.
For me, yes. What do you think?
I can tell you one thing, I think it's Anders, because I have the feeling that someone that plays, with the pressure that he plays,
that's true.
It's something unbelievable.
That's true, that's true.
So I will go for Anders first, Nico second, Levy third, Tex fourth.
Anders first.
I agree with that.
At this point I would say that it's over, it was great.
They don't tell too much clue, but I mean, what should we do?
We go next.
Yeah, we go next.
I hope you enjoyed.
We are here for the FC 26 World Championship, and we just whittled down the field from thirty-six
competitors to twenty-four, so only one thing to do before we say goodbye to those players.
And that of course is to crush their keys to do so. We have a very smiley shells
Just do you think you'll get the honors to ever like crush someone's key here at UWC?
I wouldn't want to do that
But listen, I was here if I was here competing then and I'm crossing someone's feet
I mean, I'm doing a good job
What would you approach me those shells? Obviously is a very nice man, right? Yeah. Yeah, I feel like he would be the most
Nicest key crusher around whereas if it was me, I'd love to do it now. I'll try 360 nose gopin
and I'm just going to come with us on the bootcamp.
Yeah, maybe book it.
My favorite has been some of the cod guys who just stare you in the eyes while they crush
your key.
We'll see if anyone is diabolical as we have a few of the players getting ready to go to
work over there behind us.
Two stages.
We're full of players.
We're starting to whittle it down.
What's coming up for anyone who's just joining the stream shelves?
I mean, we're finding out.
Go to the base.
We're going to find out who's going to get knocked out.
Team Liquid, if they're going to survive.
I just can't get over this first round in the knockouts.
And this burger versus every young man number one person number three, but I'm telling you this is one of the best game
We're ever gonna see tournament resumes are just 10 minutes in 30 seconds
We put 45 minutes on the clock that's for the players to take a break
Reset watch any bar they need and of course take a breath FG
Do you think they're taking advantage of that time?
Whereas everyone just still locked in because that was a crazy way to finish to find out who's moving in
I mean if you won your last games, I don't think you really need a break if you've had a bit of a hard time
the game. Maybe you do need
to break the mental tax. It'll
have on these players, especially
the likes of Levy David, who knew
they had to give their role in
that last game. They might welcome
the break a little bit shells.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Some of
these players will want to get
straight back into it, aren't
they? I think it's different. How
you qualified. So for example,
neat, you know, he's got a last
minute when I had to hope on some
other people's results to fall
his way on him. I would like a
little break, but maybe live with
the weird way. I think he's been
playing to prove and that loss went against Levy Finn. That was the type of
moral boost you want to take it to the knockouts and try and start your woman as
fast as you can. Well, I had plenty of time to dive into this bracket, but first
I want to revisit our league stage. Reminder, what was at stake? If you
finished in the top eight, one of those green positions on the far left, you are
guaranteed a top 16 finish at EWC 26. Bonanno, number one performer. The only
one to go a perfect six and oh is my player to watch. If you're looking out
for some other big names, I feel like Levy Finn was red hot up until that final match.
And then of course, we've had some players sneaking in on the final day, a guy like
Neat who had to come all the way through the play-ins, FG.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that is the beauty of this format as a whole. We had a last chance
to qualify. We had some play-ins before the main tournament kicked off and Neat knocked
out one of the greatest in the scene, arguably one of the goats' techs in a penalty shootout.
Remember last year's winner came through the play-ins as well. Manu Bishore, we're going to see him in action as well as expected he finished 7th.
The big talking point though is that massive fixture, 10th against 23rd, Anders Wuergang against Emre Yomas and Emre Yomas, that will have a point to prove.
He's so professional, Shells, that this won't matter anymore. He would have got this league stage out of his sort of mind.
And this is all that matters. The chance to get yourself in the round of 16, the Emery's perspective, to face a very good friend, another teammate in Manu Boshore, but look at round of 16, Alejandro Lyon, we've not opened about him much.
He did beat Anders Virgang at some point. They could potentially meet, I think, in the semifinals if they both get there. He's got a really, really good opportunity.
Yeah, even for like Nassada and Alialine where we was talking about more of them in the start of the tournament
It's just I've seen blimpses for all these players
But I think they could win it
But I think for Anders and Emre what they have to their advantage
They've arguably got the hardest brackets I've ever seen whoever makes out of them two
They're gonna have that confidence and if you beat the next round, mani mature
You're gonna be flying with confidence if you beat Nassada, Levy Dewey, or D. Fernandez
You're gonna be flying with confidence and if you can carry that to the final anyone on the other side of the bracket
will be absolutely terrified. We get a very special guest joining us here in just a moment
FG though as I'm taking a look through this one more time. Who do you think has the toughest
quadrant? Bottom right seems to be the easy call out. If it's not bottom right, what is
the second hardest? Well it is bottom right. I mean there is no easy games in this bracket,
but I am looking at the likes of Matthias Bonanno and thinking well okay, I could potentially
to play pH in the San Jose.
I've got a good chance he's on
a roll. Remember it's completely
undefeated. As you can see on my
right hand side, the tallest
10 career. You know what, when I
found out you're coming, Denman,
I tried to swap places with
Shells. I'm great to see you,
mate. Great to see you in Paris.
How you finding it so far? I'm
happy to be him. I need to speak
about a knockup. I'm speaking
about it. That's crazy. I'm
seeing falcons versus liquid
the first round, kicking things
off. It's a blockbuster. It's
going to be sick. As soon as I
saw that 10 and 23 mile bracket
break, I started ticking and I
was like, Oh crap, that's
happening in the first round
impact of this first round. If
you're emery and you pull off
the upset, are you now fired up
or are you exhausted after that
battle? Oh, to be completely
honest with you, there's no
better game to kickstart a
knockout bracket than up against
the current world champion.
Someone even had many battles
with throughout the season as
well. So it's going to be sick.
I think whoever goes through
that game, it wouldn't surprise
me if I go all the way because
because it is literally the confidence boost that you need.
Don't get me wrong, it's a tough one to start on.
It was a 15-goal game last time and it went in favour of Emery,
but that was the last time he won a game.
He finishes just on seven points.
He is going to be a player to watch out in knockout shells.
So, big storylines for you.
What have you guys been enjoying?
Because every time I come back,
the three of you are just chatting up out here.
Yeah, I mean, we've known Devon for a long time.
And for Emery, I think he got into the knockout run
and they're all so experienced.
Once you get to the situation, everything resets.
So you don't want to take in...
You're not thinking about your form in a group stages and he did be Anders in the group stages.
So, I mean, he should have that confidence that anything can happen with them.
And I want to speak to you about the English players.
Of course, you'd be represented them and working with them alongside.
We only had one of the guys here, Red Lac.
Of course, he had a disappointed tournament from his stand.
But what do you think maybe the English side and the UK side are maybe lacking compared to other nations,
such as maybe Argentina, they've got the banana and Nicholas, the Germans, the Sardar.
What do you think maybe the UK sides are lacking?
I mean, when we look at the English and the UK sides, we say, we've got text.
We've got a stingray.
But they're not here.
I think it's a lot of things
that's coming through for young
players as well to be discovered.
So more sports teams in the UK as
well to get discovered. But
alongside that as well as we see
hazards just holding up red
likes key as we speak about
red like is about to cross
that. Is it true that hazards is
the nice thing about red likes
is that it's a lot of things
that are not here. I think
that's a lot of things that
could be one of them, which I
think some people do admit
themselves as well. But I think
alongside that as well,
opportunity. I think a lot of
grassroot stuff would be nice
to see more grassroots. It's
He's a great guy. I don't know if you want to see this cross before. I was going to say, can we get a tight on his face? Is there a smirk? Is there a smile?
He feels bad. He feels so bad. I'm done with the question for you then based on the English players, because pension, of course, stingrays not here either. Will you potentially see or I know you're involved in England
not here either. Will you potentially see or I know you're involved in England gaming, are you
potentially looking at other potential leagues for English players to play in to maximize the
amount of players that are making it to these competitions because of course you've got the
e Premier League Manchester City have won that numerous times in a row they invest heavily in
the e-sports from an English players perspective would they not be looking at going down a different
route like light red like they've been successful in their league and making ways here through other
the roots. That's just a brilliant question because I was going to touch on that before
we started to see the keys getting crossed. I've just floated his ego and he's had me
to say that. But yeah, I think leagues is such a big thing as well because you do look
at some of the other leagues like E-League and that runs for such a long time. Punders
League runs for a long time and I think for players they just want to be playing the game
at the highest level for as long as possible. And I think a lot of the English players, Shelds
could obviously say this well because he's played and he still does play as well. There's
nothing better than just consistently being in competition, playing, staying hot and you
You do notice it when you come to these tournaments, when you do match up against a French player,
or a player who's come from another country and has played in like the French League,
the Bundesliga, you notice they're just hot, they're on fire, so yeah, if I was an English
player, don't get wrong, I love the Premier League, I love what it's all about, but hey,
it's good to keep your toes on another league sometimes and try that experience.
It looks like they just threw another 10 minutes on the clock, so while we're waiting for that
to tick down, can you tell me about your opinion?
Who has had the strongest region since the start of FC, and who is at the top right now
in 2026. The strongest region in
FCA. I'm always going to fact my
EU West boys, because obviously the
UK are in now. I think historically
we've had some brilliant players come
out of EU West from the French side of
things, especially from the UK side of
things. Well, and Spain as well back
in the day, they were absolutely
brilliant. But I will say that South
Americans over the last few years have
always been brilliant. You always know
when you play against a South American
player, they're going to give you a
game regardless, whether it's a massive
name or whether it's somebody who's
coming through like Google as well.
He's been absolutely incredible. I think
with the South Americans though, they bring
that little passion, the Van Morse and stuff. I think that really gets to the EU guys. I think
the EU guys are more chilled. You see the Dutch in the UK that maybe keep themselves
in self. You come in as a Brazilian or Argentinian, they're just screaming every time they're
small. I think that really gets to the opponent. I didn't even mention the Dutch as well. I feel
like I'm doing a massive disservice to them. You mean Team Liquid? You'd be fair. Yeah.
The Holland boys, I would say in country, the Holland boys, you can't really argue with Emery
Yeoman's Levita with and Manu Bachor. I think done free, it'll be a hard free to try and be.
But even then, we mentioned the Dutch, you're looking at Chris de Bois here, you're looking at Luke as well, like who've obviously both won, sorry, a doctor of Luke's won a cashmere,
Chris won a cashcop basket as well, and Luke's always there and they're about, so there is a lot of talent coming from there as well.
And also the amount of work they put in it, the Dutch guys, we spoke to Renzo, we have done numerous times on either broadcast or what we do.
The amount of work they put in it, is that something that you guys take inspiration from, of course, you're involved in sort of the more international scene now working with England Gaming, doing some great work there.
But the long-term goal when you're up against the likes of the Dutch, they are super super strong
How do you prepare and then do you sort of take their blueprint and try and take it towards what you're doing in England?
Well, look the way I said whenever you see these teams the big teams like your man cities your life
Seags your liquids your falcons. They all follow a similar blueprint blueprint
They all care about their players who massive amount. Yeah, but you see them all together
There's a massive cohesion between the teams like all the coaches chiming in helping individual players and stuff
It isn't separated. They're all together and they worked so hard. But also a lot of them have performance coaches
Yeah, they try and find them extra 1% which make the difference a lot of people don't think it does
But it really does you can improve you on them soon on Twitter a couple of years ago
Nico ended up having a performance coach who like improved like his reactions by like
Quite an impressive amount and they're the kind of things which the best players do to find the margins, you know
And yeah, I think that's one which I definitely
the game and you'll reap the
benefits inside of the game.
Of course, you've got to be
good at the game. You want to
see me going to the gym and
end up beating Andersberg's
game on a World Cup stage.
Speaking of Niko's, Nicholas
was one of the cool stories of
this tournament so far. He,
of course, started off red hot
and with the draw frustrated
after that. But then today he
seals the deal on Kasha with a
game and a kick. What did you
see from the Iceman and how
long has he been bringing that
kind of ice to his game? He
I mean, what I saw from the ice
man is exactly what you expect
to get from Nico. I think the
other is it doesn't matter about
how you start is such a cliche.
It's literally about how you
finish it and he will take a
lot of confidence from that.
But things with Nico is not a
player really needs confidence.
He just knows that he's going to
perform at a higher level.
And I think when it comes to the
knockouts, that's where we'll see
the true Nico when you can see
that free kick from a coach's
perspective in the last minute.
Of course, it's from a tight
angle, but I was sat next to
shells and straight away
shell says he scored. It's in
gold. I knew it. Yeah, it's 100%
you can see that from a coaches perspective is that something you're trying to stop your players from considered because it's late on in the game. He's hanging on. You know, that is it. That is the free kick that essentially has knocked him out of the competition. Is there any way to stop it? Maybe with the form of your wall, your goalkeeper movement? Or is it just a case of he's not dead ball? It's inevitable. It's going in because, like I said, before he'd lined it up, Gels had already called it was going in.
I think a lot of time people do try and put blockers in place. Whether it's like a couple of extra men in the wall alongside somebody on the line. Yeah, maybe to keep it across in the previous fcs and stuff. But yeah, I think especially when you do have some people who are so good at taking free kicks like
Niko's road. If it was anybody else, I'd probably sit down and say, yeah, put someone on the wall, stick someone else in the line. And you probably stopping it from that. So what makes him so good at that? Oh, I don't know. He puts the hours in it. I've no Niko's plays like red lack, for example.
I'd like one that you ever less from a set piece. These are some of the things where players don't really see much of or maybe think
I'm not gonna put that much time into I was one of those guys corners
Come on man
Let me focus on through balls and skill moves and stuff like this is what can separate the difference from the best and win in a trophy
And I think for Nicholas. He is a complete player and that set piece alone
I only I mean I would have tried to make him score the other side personally just because I think I'm more hard of the score
the game. We're going to be
going to be a very, very
serious. We have to. Obviously
get a prediction. Yeah, Mr
Zen. Can we bring up the
bracket one more time? Let's
grow our day. Really. He's
very, very good with his
knowledge in the scene. Um
you are the man to be at the
minute, because you were
fantastic. You were
fantastic. You were
to be at the minute, Puckett,
because you were fantastic in your predictions.
JD, looking at this.
I'm going one by one.
Yeah, let's go.
Puckett, go on.
Yeah, P.A. Tim versus Samu.
What do you got for me?
You know what?
I'm going to back Samu, because I think just
he's been incredible for the last few years.
Like, he's come through and really shown
what he's capable of.
And I think it's one of those tournaments
where that bracket could potentially
open up for him as well, especially
if he gets through P.A. Zinn and then Ben Arnhem.
And you never know what could happen.
Obviously, Ben Arnhem's going to be hard to get through
and P.A. Zinn.
But you know what?
Sometimes it's just your tournament and some is showing off to prove that he can't go all the way
And I can see behind us Abu Maka and Neat are setting up also on the stage
I've been back as a hard player to play against. I'm really really like me
But I'm gonna go have Abu Maka on this one over on the second stage and Mr.
Sorry, we'll be facing off against Chris de Boer
So it's either guy gets the crowd or support me who is the coach of all see England
I'm going to go with Karim. I
like the passion he brings as
well. It's a player player. It's
good. You know what? I mean, you
would be silly to back against
it. Let's go to the if we were
to go to the other side of the
I mean, you'd be silly to back against it. Let's go to the if we were to go to the other side RVP legend
Umma, that's an interesting game because I'm it is always there or there about RVP
Really, really well actually that will go for me personally
It's a coin for them because when all VP turns it on you can't defend it
But at the same time like it is incredible. I've got a question for you then and quickly see on the left hand side bracket
I really said it. I'm a player. I think this could be my chance for my final from a coach's point
What would you maybe tell your player because you could kind of see what I'm talking about
We're not on that bottom right side. We have a chance at the baby pub. What would you maybe tell your player?
Honestly, I think the best mentality is just one game at a time because if you look too far down the end of the bracket
You might sit and think oh if we win that we play against him we play against him
Bro focus on the game which you go in front of you first and see what happens
But you are right if you're looking at a bracket, especially I sat here. You're thinking yo, this might be my only chance
Emory you must and as vergan
We can't let you get away with that one
We'll leave the details on this one as well.
The thing is, if I say Emery right now, and Anders hears that,
he's giving me on Instagram just loads of loads of rubbish.
Final question for you.
You, of course, volunteered your time to come up here.
So how can we pay you back for all the people that are headed
to a commercial break?
Where should they head to follow you and all of your content?
Yeah, just follow me, Thedemon, Arnold Sawyer shows,
Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, all them good stuff.
And how you can pay me back?
These boys can probably something like that.
There we go. We'll find you after the show.
In the meantime, we got to head to a short break.
We come back.
I have a feeling the Falcons are going to start flying high.
They're getting loud here in Paris.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Hedia City, powered by play.
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here.
Now, the proud founding partner of EWC, powering the biggest event in gaming, shoulder to shoulder
with the world's best.
Making history.
Greatness deserves a stage.
Lenovo Legion, reach your impossible.
GFD finals are taking place today, but there's a little bit more nuance to that. So, Traff's
joining me to give us an update as to what we can expect and what's happening for the
glove championship points.
Well, we're in the third, fourth playoffs at the moment. So, it's AGL versus Flash Wolves.
So, big swinger here is 500 points or 300 points depending on who gets the victory. So,
being in 16 games across the
Sports World Cup, kind of
desperate to get these points
on the board because they're
going to be a real contender
in the future weeks.
Coming up just after this, though,
is Team Vision versus Aurora
Gaming for first and second place.
So getting those 1,000 points
on the board will be absolutely
huge for Team Vision, mainly,
just because this is the last
game they're going to be competing
in in the Sports World Cup.
So they've got to get that
lasting score.
They want to try and stay up
towards the later portions
of the Sports World Cup,
and that 1,000 points will go
a long way.
Well, thank you so much for that.
They're pretty insightful,
especially for AJL and how that ties in with the rest of the
championship points. That's it for us over here. We'll see you
around.
What is up guys? So I don't know if you've noticed, but we've
been having interviews over here in this space is actually the
EFC fan festival and I'm going to test out my skills. We got
dribbling, passing, we're going to test my shot speed as well.
Let's see if I can get a high score.
So the stats are in, my ultimate team card has officially arrived and honestly I'm
pretty proud of it, 96 overall, we got 95 defending, 95 dribbling.
So if you guys are here in Paris, come check out the EFC Fan Festival, try to beat my high
score, good luck.
I think we have time to play other games outside EFC, for example in summer or maybe
Maybe if you don't reach a tournament you have a lot of time to play other games.
I don't really play other games besides EFC to be honest.
I used to, but I just kind of stopped when I really got competitive into EFC.
My all time favorite PlayStation game, I think God of War.
I played every single one from PlayStation 2 to now PS5, so I love it.
Once I will say God of War Ragnarok, the last one, I like to play it because it's a good
adventure.
My favourite PlayStation game, of course, is the EFC. It's my passion, I love football, it's also my job.
No, I love trophy hunting, but it depends if it's really, really hard or it's just a hard, like a unit time.
But sometimes I can go for the Platinum and sometimes I will stay with the Silver one.
Honestly, to hunt the trophies in all the games is not my priority. I just like to enjoy the game, play, just follow the story and that's it.
Even in EFC, I don't have a place on the surface.
When I'm about to walk out on the stage, I think only to the game,
to give all my life to this game, like it will be the last game of my career.
My feeling right now is nervous, but also shield,
because I know my quality and I'm near to win.
I'm creating plays in my mind, but I don't want to think much about it, I just want to
play.
I don't care about my opponents, I know my quality and I know if I play well I win.
My reach before the game is like joining the mood of the game, don't eat, and stay focused.
When my name is called, obviously I feel amazing, I feel happy because it's my dream.
Let's go, no fear!
Well, this is it. The knockout stages have finally arrived here in Paris after a lengthy
four days of action. 36 players came here to Paris as part of the FC Pro World Championships
with one dream. Just make it to the knockouts. That was the dream after six long rounds of group phase now 24 remain 12 players eliminated. But after this round, eight more players will leave the competition.
Brown and Smith and how Alvarez taking you through just four of these first round games. But grab what a bracket. What a knockout bracket. All eyes no doubt.
or an Andersberg gang against Emre Yilmaz, not in a final, in a round of 24!
I mean that lower part of the bracket is just something else.
Anders against Emre Yilmaz and then Manu Pashor waiting for one of them.
I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen in there.
But not only that, in case whoever gets out on top of that bracket,
which is gonna be a hard task, should play against the winner
between Nassada, Levy or Di Fernandez.
That part of the bracket is crazy!
I'm going just not thinking about it, but first things first we gotta go to the higher part of the bracket and to be fair
Brandon, I might leave you in here
And I might go to join the team Falcon fans cause MS Dosaris playing in a world championship again as we can see
Well, well, well, where do we start this round of 24 journey graph?
And it's the sorry against Chris the boss. That was not the perfect starter
chance to sorry scores first six and a half minutes in and you could already
hear the team Falcon fans roaring by this name
listen I wouldn't want to face Mr. Sari but I'm not got bracket at the World
championship just a different monster as we can see he's attacking on the left
wing that's where the first goal came from and O'Reilly going for the attack as
well surely not a double for Tissara here but Siola oh he's beautiful
maybe the king of the jungle he's back
you know start with the analog sprinting from O'Reilly which is an
interesting choice because people would want to use the quick step and fall back but of course we are
in July and we have four plays now so you can definitely use Rapid. He attacked 2B1, scored a
second one 2-0. Updates, PHA in Samu Gamer. It is Samu Gamer who strikes first in that one.
What's going on Brandon, the sorry straight up!
A much needed pass coming in, because at the moment the king of the jungle is cruising.
And you have to say, looking at the bracket, you would rather be on the side than he is
I think you're going to all
Nicholas. All right, answer to
that or Anders. I'm sorry,
Libby Finn. Levy Finn, of
course, fantastic player winner
in his own right. But you look
at the previous history of
worlds that FC pro championships.
Some who gave it might be through
it up here. Oh, my God. He is the
start. The side of the
the game. The first knockout
game. And if we can show we've
got a four way split. Of the
four games that are taking
place right now in front of our
eyes. We will do our best to
give you the updates here.
Karim is back is leading by a
Golden Hill. Abu Makkah is all
square against me. We have to
have a quick word on that
graph. The only Spaniard in the
tour. And you must be happy
that you just about squeeze
through into the game. And
He just about squeezed through into the knockouts.
He did, it was.
There's something about Spaniards at the World Championship, a reminder of JR8 scoring the
last minute to qualify, same as Neat.
And of course, it was lucky, as you say, because he did score against pH, but now he's playing
against Abu Maka, and the clear favourites, sorry, so let's see if Neat is able to come
on top.
I don't think it's a favourable matchup to him.

sounds crazy because half of the
competition that came through
one looking great off the three
one win against FIFA Nanda, four to a win against Virgil and now leading to one, yes, to one against
Mirka Loft. So he's submitting today, he's playing.
And what does this say about the world ranking as well, Gravison?
There's always Frank Pyer in the competition. Richard Parkland was comparing it to Kingslinner,
a football club in the non-league of England. It's basically like them getting to the quarterfinals
of an FA Cup.
times these things happen and that's the thing of beauty.
Competitive FC, anyone can beat anyone and that's why we're here.
To see who comes out on top. As far as it looks, only one player
from the top ten in the World Rankings did not make it
through to the knockouts and that was Jaffonzo's eighth in the World at the moment.
The other eight players that are here from the top ten World Rankings are all
in the competition still.
What do you say, Grav, was the shock exit for you?
For me, Giafonso probably.
I didn't expect the EWC World Champion 2024 to...
Charles Habumac, there's the pile of the bad post.
And that's an equaliser against Neat.
Don't forget that he was four-nil down against Ilyan Boussi Habumac,
and still came back and won that 6-4.
So, he actually went on to be about 8-7 in the end.
He do not count him out.
Ever. Which one was yours?
I mean, it's not like I'm
not going to be able to do it
again. I'm not going to be able
to do it again. Just a brace.
I have to say the shock. Of the
league phase for me. I mean 12
players for that, as we know
briefs runner up last year in
the world championship. He fell

expected a little bit more. But
I have to say five Italians out.
There were seven of them that

I think we should go back to it because I think the audience will want to see it, MS Desari, Chris de Borre.
We say about not counting players out. Don't count Chris de Borre out.
Don't count MS Desari out. He's three. Got a three gold gap, I should say, back in the game.
forward lead here. Why are we seeing such a...
and then form MS Desiree? Because as I said, Graff, we haven't seen him on the world stage.
Other, then a little bit in advance, didn't get in the FC Pro open, and then we see him
go and do well in the Saudi Pro League. He's clearly been putting in a lot of time for this.
Definitely, and I'm sure we all know that MS Desiree is a great player, but when it comes to the World
Championship stage, it's a whole different beast. He's overloading the left side of the pitch,
he's attacking, he's looking for the 2B1s with Nico Riley with the rapid playstyle and it's paying
off because then with Benlyham he has a lot of options, he can go for the low driven, he can go
for the finesse and that's the reason why he's winning this match at the moment. And that is no
disrespect against him, Mr. Sorry, the world champions are up and this is the first time he's
been at a world championship since 2019. We haven't seen him for quite some time and that's
that's good. He's been busy with
team Falcons as well. We have
got a four box. I'm hoping we
could potentially show you at
home if we get a chance to show
you all the games that we can
see in front of our eyes. There's
an update here, grab, and it
looks like milk love is three to

from the players because as we
just see these four box brand
just for it. Let's stay here for
a second. I mean, look, this is

What a time to find your form.

the way, for me, this might be
one of the short results of
the round. We know both these
two are fantastic, but P. A.
Jim was in great form. Ending.
The league face today. It's
kind of four nil down. Throughout
the whole season as well. The
that's it. That's it. But there's
the extra past. This is the game
we're speaking about. Please
keep him on. We are playing
until there are eight players
left in the competition. That
is all that will be played
tomorrow. The quarterfinals, the
semifinals, we've got a show
match as well as group ends
will be joining us in Paris
live for our final day of
action. But before we get there,
we've got to whittle down 24 to
the best eight milk lover
That's come very close there, Graf, to being 5-0 up before half-time.
What kind of confidence does that give you for Samu Gamer on the other side?
How do you pick yourself up if your pH in?
It is a difficult one, because pH is a great attacker,
but Samu has developed a lot since last year, especially on the player switch inside of things.
Not only that, but he keeps the momentum going backwards as the Fendi,
because it's really hard to track sometimes the passing lanes and he does that really well.
I'm surprised because Samu, he started to be a great attacker last year
and he paid off because he wasn't beaten on the group stage in the ECL last year.
But this year defending, I mean, just considering 0 goals against PH in the first half, it's incredible.
We didn't have a bad out. And actually, Duddy did it in the World Championship.
Summer game was really impressive there.
Halftime. Summer game of four. PAs in nil. This is the four-pot screen as we join this one.
Five-two, Bill Cullove.
I'm sure Richard Buckley is happy somewhere because his dark horse is at a moment between
16 best players in the whole world if he manages to get this done.
The best part is as well, he's got no coach of him, he's got nobody alongside him.
is a lone wall foul there. And
he does not care at all. Karim.
Down by three goals, but do not
count out the Moroccan here as
he tries to guide his way, and
that's going to be an easy
collection for the goalkeeper.
Half time. There's the sorry

the sorry. How good is it as
well to remember? He won the
World Championship in 2018
graph to be seven years on from
that. We've been eight years on
from that. I'm going to compete
in like this. It's a brilliant
for approval. There's the chip.
There's a goal back for current.
How do you keep up at that level
of competition? I think we have
I think we would have to ask Nicolas as well, because they are the only two players who have been competing at the top since 2018, 17, 19.
And it's really hard because you've got to be professional. Of course, when you're 20 years old, 18, the only thing that matters in life is just FC and playing the game.
But when you get to be a little bit older, of course family comes in, other business ventures as well, and to be fair,
I don't know how to do it, because we all have the same 24 hours a day, but it seems
like Mr. Sari just does a lot of things right.
He's finding more time from somewhere.
I mean, he lifted the trophy of Cristiano Ronaldo last year in Saudi Arabia, the club
championship.
They are the two-time club championship women's team Falcons.
Of course, there's 25 different tournaments here at the Esports World Cup.
that's a good one. That would
be one hell of a game. By the
way, that would be a good match
in the semifinals, which could
happen. There was certainly a
little bit of rivalry, maybe
building between the two of
course, once for the time,
Abou Mac, it was a player of
team Falcon this year. He had
to play against this former boss
in the East Saudi Pro League
I had the chance to speak with Nid prior to this game and he told me he wasn't feeling
comfortable with the defense throughout the whole week.
And you can definitely see how when Abumaka gets the ball into these positions, I don't
think Nid's comfortable trying to track the passing lanes and trying to press with the
that's the right back Freeman, but it all starts on the left side of the pitch every single time.
Just as we see. Whoa, Brandon. Karim knows. He knows. Milk and Lowe's well. Great goal.
As he stands, Abbey back at 3-2 against me. Milk and Lowe, 6-3.
against Karim is back. P.A. is still 4-0 down. He just can't get comfortable with the best
word described here. He's got 28 minutes to save his world championship dream and it's
not looking good. It's not looking good because he's not going forward as he needs.
He's going to break it down in a second. Happy backup.
When the wall gets to the cam, of course he has to defend this niche and you can see
Abumakas patiently passing the ball to defense now in here as he gets the ball to the cam
he has to go forward. He has to go for a look for the pass he does and if he goes backwards
which he can he has to trigger runs with Bellingham with as you can see as he's doing now with
Ranicaga this is what he needs to do because Abumakas defending with at the moment nine players
on the side of the pitch so you got to push bodies forward as Neitz doing this could be a great attack
Well defended by Bittinja.
Great defense. I like the way Nitz playing now.
He's pushing bodies forward with the midfields.
But he doesn't know what to do with the ball when he gets to those instances.
I feel like that there's something lacking from Nitz, two things in my opinion,
which would be the player locks and the creative runs as well.
Let's go somewhere else.
was his chance. Not only of scoring a goal but of getting some confidence back. Because
at each minute passes you're just feeling like there's not a chance of you scoring
a goal because your opponent's reading everything, his player's reaching right. I've been impressed
by Samu, Brandon.
Who's he playing next? He'll play Matias Bonano. In his next game, the round of 16
You've already guaranteed yourself
$12,500 amongst the one million
plus prize pool. You win again.
$15,000 for around a 16. And of course,
the prize money goes up and up and up.
You get to a top eight $40,000
guaranteed. The perfect way to
conclude your season.
Should we go back to Mr.
Sorry.
For Neil here, I'm surprised with
the amount of money that you've
got. You've got a lot of money
in your pocket. You've got a
4-0 here. I'm surprised with some of these scorelines by the way and how one side they've been. MS Desiree is 7-1 up.
There's something that we didn't know was going to happen. That was MS Desiree being able to withstand the rhythm of FC 26.
Because she gets really high.
Masiola off the bar! Is it just one of those days for P-18?
I think he knows it.
He knows 16 minutes left, he's not scored a goal yet.
He knows this is it.
Well, part of the looks of it, our first full time with Milka Love against Kirim,
they're in a pause at the moment. Shall we go to Mr Sarri, if we can?
Let's jump there now.
Or not yet?
Not yet.
I do think Neitz is not finding an answer yet to the 451 of Abu Maka.
Of course we all know the 451 now but back in FC24 Abu Maka was using and this could
the ball and this could be a
great attack. You have just
witnessed a lovely free kick
there from Karimi's batman.
I'm sure we'll get the replay
of it. Let's jump around.
For the game that's probably
going to finish first. The
first player that will be going
through to the round of 16.
Karimi's bat milk a lot. Can we
go there now? Seven minutes
left. This was the goal that
we missed. Karim of a lovely
three kick from a little bit.
See that made it six four. He's
got six minutes. But it needs
to be great for these last six
minutes. And this could be it.
Is he through? Is he onside? He
is Brandon. Chance Abbey market.
That's going to go for a corner.
Right. Let's go through now.
It's our four box. This game will
So, let's stay here. Winner plays Nicholas in the next round. That will be live today on this
broadcast, so do not go anywhere. Jasmine Hamid Salah. That's going to go for a
throw and right in the corner there. What we'll do, we will try our best to give you every single
concluding moment from this first round. Ph, you know, has got a gold back. You can see the
the right-hand side of your
screen. Unfortunately, he's only
got 10 minutes left. That's a
big ask. Surely not doable.
Who's been the most impressive
for you with about these four
has to be Mr. Sorry, I mean,
eight one round of 24. Mr. Sorry,
eight one. He leads against
crystal ball. Right. Our first
full time of this knockout round.
South American in pH the following one would be Matias Bonanno. Well that was the replay.
Oh, I mean what what performance from Samu Gamer. Unbelievable right closing stages here
P.A.s in just can't find a way through it will be the end. There is FC Pro World Championship
I mean a much better season from the Brazilian that we know and expect from him. He goes
through Matias Bernardo waits for Samu Gamer. I don't know how to call that one I mean Matias
but I know he's still undefeated. Sorry can we go to Mr Sarri just for a split second.
Oh my days. And Mr Sarri is 10-1 up.
And now, you're telling me we live in a world in which in 2026 we could see Emerson Zahra
becoming a two-time world champ.
Could that happen Brandon?
Apparently so.
I'm all for it though.
It makes two of us.
game. Congratulations, Samu
gamer. Handshakes between the
two paging out some of the game
of through. He plays Nicholas.
Congratulations. Right. That's
two games done. Milk a lot through
some of the game of through. But
let's go to me, Abu Maka. Because
It is what it is. Of course, I'm devastated for Neid, but if we look at the tournament,
if we look at this specific match, Abu Maka deserves it. Neid has been inconsistent throughout
the whole season. He's been inconsistent as well in this tournament and in this match,
but I'm sure he'll go back at it again next year and hopefully...
as a goal back. Full-time!
Abumakir against Ney, by the way, that's just concluded.
Congratulations, Abumakir, he will go through,
and he will play Hezzers in the round of 16,
but we'll stay with this one for a full-time.
MS Desari, 10, yeah, you are reading this right, 10.
Goal scored against Cristobal.
This has been the performance of the knockout so far.
What's happened to those hands?
They've got better!
Unbelievable things!
Samu Gamer through, Abumaka through, MS Desari through, and Milka Love through,
but still to come after this break!
Anders Wergang, Emre Yulmaz in a knockout game.
It's up next after this.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kdea City, powered by play.
You see my name in the lights, ready to take a chance
I'm Chris, my gamer tag is Christopher, my normal name as well, and I represent ASEA IACs.
Well, I'm a 19 year old who just lost football to be honest, and I used to play a lot when
I was young and then when the pandemic hit I just started to play a lot of EFC and now
I'm here in the eSports World Cup.
A lot of people maybe wouldn't say I'm the most stereotypical gamer but yeah it's kind
of what I am.
I like to play and compete but at the other hand I'm also just a guy who likes to go out
and do social things and yeah, just a fun guy to be around I think.
If I were to be in the EFC Ultimate Car, I would probably be thank you the young, I think.
The way you play is really good on the ball, just really has a good vision of the whole
pitch.
Football IQ, I think, that's kind of where I'm good at.
The December Cup in 2024 was huge for me.
It was a huge change in my perspective on me as an eSports player.
I was still a rookie in the second season of mine and then that tournament came and I beat
Jofonso who was the world champion the year before in the lead up to winning the tournament
in the quarter finals I believe and that kind of gave me the feeling I was actually really
good at this and I could compete at the highest level and I think that was the starting point
of where I felt like okay I'm going to really take this serious and take my chances here.
Well, how this early elimination last year impacted me was more so being happy I qualified
and afterwards I played the world champion Mandelbachter on the first game and the second
game I played my Levy the Weird, also my teammate.
Of course I lost against Mandelbachter on the first game, I was 4-2 up in minute 70,
I played actually really well, then the last 20 minutes I kind of choked.
Hey, get set match!
Then, like an hour after I had to play Levy,
it was hard to get mentally back up after that game,
so that's first loss.
And Levy is also my teammate, and I raised him really highly,
and he played amazing, I didn't play my level,
so I was like, hey, it's still better than this,
and I'm gonna play for the team,
I'm playing!
Hey, hey, come on, make some pass,
and make some all the difference!
I was eliminated, I felt like, disappointed, of course,
It also felt like especially looking for the tournament, seeing them progress to the final and the semi-final was like
If I were to lose, I were to lose against my teammates and against number one and number three of this tournament
They're the worst people to lose to but yeah, it still hurts
For tournaments like this like EWG is the biggest tournament for us
I think now I can really have that experience and take the win in me during the games
So you're never going to a tournament, not to win the tournament, but if I'm realistic,
I just want to show myself at my best level and see where I come out.
But of course, I'm not going to say that I'm going to play for second place.
Of course, we're going to win the tournament, it's your dream, so let's say that's my goal.
Welcome back everyone, I'm so excited for this interview because we are speaking to
the lowest ranked player coming into this competition and he has just qualified for
the round of 16 after that win versus Karim, talk to me about that match because you absolutely
smashed it.
Yeah, I think I started really bad in the matchup, I was 2-0 down in the first 50 minutes
I think, but I feel like from that point I played so much better and in the end it's deserved I think now
Let's talk more about that league phase as well your matchmaking was so tough
You had to go against Matias for nano Anders Alihan as well. So talk to me how you feel about the entirety of the league face
Yeah, I think I had a really good day one where I got six out of six
But on the second day, I knew it would be tough because like Bonanno and Anna's obviously are one of the best in the competition
And yeah against Ronaldo I still take good I think I think I lost by one but against Anders
I was really unsatisfied and
Yeah, but in the end I managed to get nine points and yeah
Now talk to me as well being the lowest rank player in the competition people didn't know what to expect and you were exceeding everyone's
Expectations so does that put a little bit of a chip on your shoulder? You had a little bit to prove there being the lowest ranks player
To be honest
I don't really care about it because I had that same role at VBA as well because it was my first time qualifying for the Grand Finer there.
And obviously everyone thinks that I am not the favorite for any game, but people that plays against me know that I have the level and yeah, I proved that now.
You absolutely proved that and you're going to have to prove that up against Nicholas next round. So how are you thinking about that matchup?
Yeah, for me, Nicholas is maybe top three in this game right now from what I've seen in practice.
But yeah, I don't know.
I just play my game.
If I win, I win.
If I don't, I don't.
Let's see.
All right.
Well, thank you so much, guys.
Over at the desk, milk of love.
Are we just loving his gameplay?
I'm a big fan of this man.
He came in with the lowest rank,
but he did not play that way.
He made it through leagues
and now he's into the top 16.
We got FG and shows to break everything down.
Guys, I'm here on Wikipedia.
He's got total earnings,
$13,655.
He's already guaranteed 12,500 after that win, Charles.
Yeah, I mean, what I love about him is actually his attitude about it.
That interview right there, even just like he's doesn't seem too fazed if he wins or lose.
He believes in himself, which is the main thing about it.
But I think he's got the right attitude because all the pressure is on his opponents.
He is the low franc seeded player.
So he should be, he should use that terms of montage.
And who knows if he wins this whole thing, I'm sure it's pride money.
Pride money will be doubled.
He's not the only one with big wins in this round.
We hear all kinds of noise from some Falcons fans here in Paris.
the fc fans are out and they are
loud FG. Yeah, the Falcons fans
are here to make loads of noise
for MS Desiree and he answered
what a performance by him 11
11 goals. Only the 11 goals
double figures and up next for
the Falcons fans is Anders
Vergang. They've been making so
much noise making this arena a
bit of a cauldron forum. Someone
like Anders absolutely relishes
that you can hear them in the
background making noise as well
Stage managers had to go over there quiet them down just so we could do an interview. I think we just let them rip
Yeah, so if you made it out here to watch some FC you deserve to be loud and we want to hear you all night long
Let's take a look here at some of our standings where we're at after we play and what we have in front of us now that we are
Into the knockout bracket. Remember the top eight performers got that by straight into the round of 16
Everyone else having to play through after we will down our first 12 competitors
Yeah, so now of course the people in the round 24
I would like to say if you made it to the round of 16
You do have a little bit of an advantage you're a bit warm you just come off a game
So the guys have been waiting waiting in the round of 16. Yes, you've got us to skip around
You've been saying cold for half now 45 minutes with time coming to play
But there's a reason why they made it into the top eight because these guys have been sensational in the tournament so far FG we see
PH thin now out neat is now out
We're gonna see MS Darcery and Abu Maka making their way through Saudi Arabia. Well represented in this tournament
Yeah, no surprise really they put so much into eSports. They've done fantastically Abu Maka again
I mean we're talking so much about MS Tassari and the Falcons
But Abu Maka is the current Saudi League champion. It'll be interesting to see whether them two go up against each other at one point
Within the bracket. We've got all rounder 16 from the left-hand side some incredible games to come
If you look over to the other side the right hand side, I assure you it's not mill mill in any of them games
They're just games. We're about to see that round of 24. There's only one fixture. We're focusing on at the bottom
There's three horses, but the biggest one has the biggest fight against the Falcon
Yeah, I mean MRE Omas. I think all eyes on this game for both of them
I think for both players
There's a lot at stake here
But MRE Omas knows you got a job to do even the defenders team liquid boys because they don't want the Anders coming through against them
Big shout out to everyone who made it out to Paris and of course everyone who's been tuning in online
We have a mystery nation. They are not represented in this round
But we have more clues coming for you hairplugs some special players and of course the crescent stars
It starts with a letter T and it's from Europe at the meantime
We got to go to the stage for another round of action. This is your top 24 playing in to the round of 16
Well here you go. He's still kicking off. I'll be honest. So just filming a
to be a little bit of a
little bit of a short bit for
the official WC channels at
Chris. So here we go. We are
underway and what a game it's
going to be. Richard Buckley
joined alongside Ryan for so
was a little bit taken aback,
but I'm not going to take about
by this upcoming set of
fixtures, Ryan, because we are
in for some absolute crackers.
Yeah, I think we'll save.
I was going to save the best

other in important moments of
tournaments in the more recent
seasons.
He's got a big game up against
Luke.
RBP legend we saw on the cameras
where he's playing against Umat
and D.
Fernandez up against Levy
DeVere.
That is a huge
matchup as well.
I've seen a lot of people asking
in the Twitch show at home and
wanting to find out a few more
clues on the mystery nation.
Well, I can reveal onto you now,
Arda Gula and
a fracking cologne on glue
represent
and just so many titles, so much prize money, so many accolades on the main stage. I mean,
I'll be completely honest, those last couple of results, especially the smoke game.
Yeah, that was weird.
We're a real, just a strange into the day frame, wasn't it?
A bit of a mixed bag because he started off so well. He was on beat and coming into today.
So he had a lot of expectation on his shoulders and his Virgil. And if you missed their recent
the first round of the year.
It was a great match up a few
days ago. There was drama
towards the end of it, and he
didn't end up shaking Emory
Umas' hand again, which has
been a common theme for Anders.
You're probably wondering how
is this even a first round knock
out game? Well, really, you
have to put the player on Emory
Umas for this. They're first
and second in the world on the
FC Pro World rankings. But when
you look at this particular
tournament, Emory Umas finished
22nd in the group stage. That
He beat this man. Eight goals to seven. You've got a massive smile on your face, Ryan.
Honestly, I can't wait for this game.
One versus two in the world rankings. Only one will go through here at the FC Pro World Championships.
Do not stop setting for me. It's just like this came too early in the knockouts for me.
But look at the first chance could have come. And this is where you see the club championship point on the screen there.
team there. Team Falcon 600
points as it stands. I'll be
hoping that Anders and all I'm
sorry can go far in this
tournament to help get some more
points on the board and the team
liquid. They need to get going
and they've got. A lot of
opportunities to do so here.
Absolutely. Anders give him again.
Keep you from left to right.
Emery Yilmaz from right to left
in that blue strip.
We will be keeping up today with
the other matches as they do
the game. The first time.
Rvp legend Umix. As we
mentioned. Luke versus Palo
Neto and D. Fernandez taking
on. No team liquid player
Levy to feed chance here for
him. Right? You must have
finished shot slightly wide
as he opened up his body.
Yeah, I thought it was going
to pay the pass in there
towards the bell. I don't know
if you expected that much
space. I'll say this in the
green room as well to reach
in a few others. It feels that
the game. I can't believe which
exact one it was. It may have
actually been against him real
man. It's not that people as
well. He was done the same.
But even when he's winning,
he's defending in that similar
manner where he's high up the
pitch. Spamming off sidetracked
team press. This was them
Belly. Who's going to draw
first blood in this blockbuster
the ball here. It looks like
some people want to go with
every other steps in and
defend well. Oh, you see what
I mean with the aggression
that worked out. Stepping with
Maldini so. Intentfully there
and he does really well, but it
could have easily worked against
him. We're not on the bottom
side of the pitch is Salma looks
like double tap. Look what was
to the top of the top of the
Monotata. Emory young man's in
the crowd. This is a big game,
but he knows it. Now we're not
in groups anymore. Now that the
bigger results maybe. Everybody
almost never going to go out in
the group towards it. It was
always in the sneak through
whether it was first or 24
the ball. All scooped in down
the bottom line. He's the option
to cut back a couple of step
always. That's a little bit more
direct from Emrae, and that's
the angle that he loves that some
people when defending you sort of
give it up a little bit.
Going to bounce nicely. Cannons
off of Maldini's chest and
under the corner for Emrae. It's
been a 22 minutes.
Pretty end to end, but half
the moment. Not the eight seven
goalscoring bonanza we saw in
the group between these two.
This one didn't be like a way
cuts back finds the near post
in a row from Andersberg and
the game. We're going to be
comfortable now as well. He said
it in an interview a couple
days ago where. I hold that
thought for a second. Actually
let's jump over to see a
repay between Levy Deveen and
D Fernandez. You haven't seen
any of this game so far. Low
driven finish from Musiala. We
jumped straight back into
Anders almost getting an
opportunity again. You might be
jumping around a couple more
games. Fanders continues where
he's going here. Right now
to one against Luke. Here is
the classic goal from a mix.
Perfect timing. And the
Fernandez levees to two. So all
the games. Other than our
featured match. Pretty tight at
the moment. It's got that
tonic trying to drive Emory
almost forward due billing and
you know, it's a long way left
in this game, and he's going to
have to take it up a notch or
two. There's a confidence
builder, though. So look at
what else is happening. Have you
the game. He's going to be
going to be a good one. He
knows there's a long way left
in this game, and he's going to
have to take it up a notch or
two. There's a confidence
builder, though. So look at
what else is happening. Have you
Pete legend goes to one up
against a mix. Back to our live
game here. Could be a chance
here for Anderson again just on
I'm going to say there was a time where it would feel really horrible to concede for
Emery, would have been straight from kickoff with just the before half time. Either one
would have been also crucial moments in the game. Because if he goes in at 3-1-3-2, anything
can happen. It still can come back of course, but now Anders will start to believe even
more.
Just look at those shots there. Sorry Anders for the game, sorry Emery, I must see what
in the front. Winners going to
crush the other state. That's
gifted away seeing a lot of
social media over this last year
or so. Team Falcons simply
liquid. There's been a lot of
talk from Anders as well. The
way he's responding is a bigger
decisive pull than crushing your
closest competitors key. The
I mean, it's not a big hit, it's
it's possible. It is possible.
Because he will get confidence.
In confidence, the king of the
jungle, man. Confidence and it
comes forward.
World champion and he's all
right.
Up against the high flying R. V.
P. Legend.
He's on the right side of the
bracket. He is yet. You avoid a
lot of the big hitters. It's
possible. It is possible.
the world championships. If
you're playing in the 2023. We
have three were basically
championships in the world. The
nation's the club and then the
world championships. If it is
top eight in the world
championships in 2023, that was
his best performance thus far
at the major championship is
scary playing against somebody
like this because all it takes
is 10 minutes in game time. You
you can just stay in the mix
a little bit. You might hear a
bit of noise coming over in the
background here from the
headsets. The Fernandez gets
one back. That's for three as
we approach the break. That's
nice. Take your local technical
dribbling finds the space finds
the Lord driven and that is
because. The scoreline that I'm
the final round where. You
have an opportunity to take
somebody like that out of the
tournament. The Fernandez gets
a go back with that finish up
from Drew Bellingham. Well,
everything was up against
everything. It should have been
extra motivation to lock in and
just think, you know what I
perform here like I've done in
the other games and take
everything out of the tournament
you're taking out the top three
player from last year. Yeah,
I lost the first leg five one and obviously six and a half. So you got a chase, you're
not going to get the ball. And I remember he scored. I think I lost in the end. It
was like eight one. I was so upset, but he practically deserved it. Well, I don't I know
you can't see it from your position. Eight one is the scoreline now. And I've been there
and Emory Yilmaz. That's how we stay away from that game right now because there's bigger
stories starting to emerge. Palo netto leading. Constably see on the right. I'm sorry. String
to the left of the left. It's
coming through six goals to two
against Luke. Liberty beat five
for an RVP legend beating the
2022 World Champion. Three
Warner's T for Nanda's ties up
this game. We might be going
late with this one. That was
saucy. They were a little fake.
He was going to cut inside it
and there were so many runners
and he played a little reverse
pass. You'd argue it could have
been intercepted, but I don't
believe Levy was actually
I think it should have been.
Big tackle from
Ethan and there's they can start to tackle his own.
to put him in second place.
Run it there. He does play the
pass, even though. Salma has
gone wide, do a defensively.
Does what he needs to do. That's
the benefit of just having
legacy so they can just chase
down some of it because she's
too fast. That's Vicky Lopez.
in the next round. Cougar for
rise. That would be an incredible
matchup. Well, and there's very
I will be going through the
question is, can Emre's teammate
and good friend Manio Bicciore
get some revenge? But not only him,
but also team liquid. That's the
game that was coming up later on
tonight doesn't up with the
action, and it will be played
tonight as well. Yeah, Palo
I'm a big fan of him as well as a person and a player. I think he's
We shared the stage with him before he has got the World Championships.
He's got more to show than this. I think that's why he would be so upset.
It's been such a journey for him as well to get back to the World Championships.
I think three qualifying matches he lost.
He lost count, yeah.
It's looking at the bottom side of the bracket here for the round of 16.
You've got Harloneta, Alehan Laiu, RBP legend, Google.
and then the winner of the
Fernandez Levy, Anders and
Manu. He's crazy. It's a true
You look at the rankings as well.
Manu, Anders, Emre, who's falling
now as well. He was second.
Hugo who's been climbing the
rankings this season. I think
he's in the top 30 now.
Levy David, who's in the top
five. If he was to win.
the back of the net. We have
two consolation goals for
Emmett. You want to see someone
smile more than after conceding
an RGP legend right there. He
knows it doesn't make a single
difference in the world.
Congratulations to RBP legend. He
will be up against you.
From rising that round of 16
game and a player he's beaten
this tournament already
beating seven core in the
second lead stage again. Maybe
why there is such a smile in
to see. I mean, maybe why
there is such a smile in his
face to knows you can do the
business and there's also.
There's an opportunity to see
vengeance again in this
tournament. We see what Andis
is just done. Term Ray, you
must.
Commiserations to. Um. Simply
couldn't put it together today.
Google three, four large
schmaltz 11 seven loss and then
that defeat there. To RVP legend
that is FC knockout by Ryan.
Every game you have to have such
a cold mindset. Exactly. And
so Palo netto shown here,
especially after playing Luke
early on in the tournament, and
he was on the brink of
elimination as well. He lost
86 to Luke. He's got more than
revenge. It's definitely more
painful to lose in the knockout
standing the group stage unless
it's an elimination match. Again,
it was a situation where if he
you. We are going to see all
these full times with how they
get the shaping up. Don't
worry if you are as a very
gang fan. Or a team Falcons fan
for that matter. You will see
the winning celebration. That
means the 83rd minute that game.
in the first half of the
season. It's really nice. He
actually right now. There's
looking to beat 75th minute.
Hello that's showing incredible
resilience in this tournament.
Right? I'm going to say that as
well because. Coming into this
tournament again. If you had
asked me to pick my top eight
players, I think we'll get there.
He would have been one of them.
He was a bit of a nation. That's
just based on what we've seen
this season. Open in Brazil. One
to be in the top 16. Absolutely
one team liquid player falls in
Emory Olmaz one goes through
with power netto to draw
money, but you're right. Well,
let's see that full time result
from number one and not the
final. Yeah, for me. So the
fact that he was a game away
from elimination where he had
to be Auburn. He was already
eliminated. Normally that would
have been like a juggernaut
he's got to be able to do that
in the first place. Understandably
started it. With a 10 out of 10
performance. He's also lived up
to his words as well. He spoke
about how he would step up in the
knockouts. He gave the interview
was very feisty, saying, Yeah, you
can be happy winning now. Have
one of these tournaments. I step
up in the knockout stages. And
he's shown it. What a victory
going to get a winner before
it's your time. Right now. It's
looking different. And this is
why. That's what's coming up.
It's just been on all. Table
topper taking on something game
and not a nice much if you do
finish top of the table. Hezlis
will play Abu Maka, Nicholas
gets his knockout phase
underway against Moka Love and
MS Dossary against living feed
You thought we were going to get a winner.
That could be a winner.
And I thought he messed up the chance.
He had an opportunity to take the show early.
B-Fernandez now is just being kidding.
To Amanda, these are big moments.
This is where composure and your coach's input
could make that difference.
You saw one Team Liquid member fall already.
the top five. Could we be
seeing another rich? This will
be a big one alongside Emory
Yilmaz. Two of the top five.
That's the way. The world
championship cookie crumbles
can't let me out, though. I know
he's not been to levy
maybe you can if he's done that.
D-Fernandez with a chance.
It's very smart.
Sixth in the world, Emory Yolma's right now, third in the world.
It's one minute.
Just heartbreaking.
But seeing Liquid to lose two of their big hitters,
the world chumps still in.
But D-Fernandez goes through.
to the top 16, and look at what
it means to him. Could if into
the top 16. So much
frustration there finished
third last year at the World
for Levy to feed, tempers flying high at the world championship, seasons are ending.
Who will continue to find out after the break?
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City, powered by play.
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here.
Now, the proud founding partner of EWC, powering the biggest event in gaming, shoulder to shoulder
with the world's best, making history.
Greatness deserves a stage.
Lenovo Legion.
Reach your impossible.
Get out, get out, hey!
Get out, get out, get out!
Get out, get out!
How did you do that?
I'm not eating.
My friend goes to a few tracks, picking up, picking up.
Let's watch this!
Fuck it, I think he's got a message.
That's my guy!
I think he's got a message.
I think he's got a message.
That's my guy.
I think he's got a message.
I am joined by Anders Vergeang who just got his revenge over Emre Yulmans in a 9-2 victory.
You have to talk about it.
You got to match earlier in the league's phase.
You got the job done here.
How great does it feel?
I mean, to be honest it's like no surprise I kind of knew it as I said the whole time
I'm bad at group stage and it meant a lot for them to beat me in group stage
but everyone always knows I was gonna go in KO and now I'm gonna play by Tora and if
I'm gonna play on this level then he's the next one going home.
We have to talk about the difference in how you play between group stage, league figs
and a knockout stage.
What is it?
What is the difference?
Because the Anders that we just saw there was not who we've seen the last three days.
I don't really know of course it would be better if I could play like this every time
but I'm a human it's not possible and I know how to play these like important tournaments in long
formats like in five days I don't have to play good the first three days I'll still go through easy
that's the difference with them like when they play bad he's like number 23 almost going out now
he go out anyway but it's fine I was there to play against him and I think I don't know if I
played better than I expected but he was definitely worse than I expected even though they keep
keep surprised me how bad they are when it matters but yeah it has been the same
story the whole year I'm bad when it does matter I'm good when it matters and
that's the like way to get trophies and everybody knows that and I think my my
trophy cabinet is a way after that's like I know how to win trophies and as I
said if I'm gonna play like this then I'm also gonna lift the trophies more
evening. Alright well looking forward as well you have
Manu Bashoori I mean let's talk about the bracket in general. Nasada could be
lurking right after that Manu Bashoori match. It's a difficult bracket isn't it?
Of course it is like, but you know, like everybody's saying maybe he's the goal, like he won this tournament twice, like I think both times was with a bit bad bracket, so now he has the hardest bracket possible, so obviously I think I'm going to send him out, if not then respect to him, but it's still going to be tough after this, like I heard LVDL lost, so another liquid player and no shock myself, and then I heard that Umut lost, like I think he lost three games today, I think just like a friendly reminder to my former team, I hope at least now.
At least now, it's time for them to find a better coach for me, because he definitely deserves that, and this year he didn't win any trophy, the whole team didn't win any trophy, even though they are capable of doing that, so I just hope that they will give, like, I hope that Umer can get a better coach, then he's gonna get better for sure, and, yeah, the same way they could, like, they keep choking when it matters, I keep performing when it matters, and if he can continue like this, then I'm gonna end the goal, the goal debate, not even, like, trust, and it's gonna end like this.
to get back to it. Thank you
so much and congrats on that
win over that to desk pocket.
How sweet is that? Emery
Jonas key crush going to be
for Anders. Look at that smile.
It is from ear to ear.
Congratulations on another win
for the Falcons. The two
players combined for 20 goals.
They lead everybody in this
opening round, but more
importantly, that man made some
statements. FG I've told you
about Anders in knockouts. This
man. He goes to another level
he's got a lot of talk in and
up next for him is a man who's
done this. All gone all the way
in this tournament twice. Manu
Bishore. If you needed any
motivation beforehand at the
fact that one of his good
friends and teammates has been
knocked out by Anders, but all
you need to do is listen to that
interview because that is some
extra motivation for Manu and
there are going to be fireworks
It's some extra motivation for Manu and there are going to be fireworks shells
Is this all starting from an unfollow where the drama begin?
Um, I think it just came from Anders leaving RBI lighting. I'm not too sure the full drama
I did think maybe the coach Daniel don't want to bring up the drama, but they don't follow and this is mom
Incident but I'm not too sure on that
But I think Anders just want to psych himself up because you see how he wins
He wins when it matters most and you've got to do that to himself speaking of getting the hype job
the game. He's going to be
up. Samu started off red heart
in this tournament. Nine points
out of the gates. He slowed
down. But here in the knockout
stage, he comes through. Yeah,
absolutely a fantastic
performance by Samu gamer. He's
going to be crushing a key and
from his perspective, we'll be
hoping it's not the last key he
crushes. We've seen some really
high level FC when we when we
take away that the game that we
just saw between Anders and
Emre. Also, we saw some other
by RVP legend. What a tournament he is having.
Yeah, I think for RVP as well.
He kind of went under the radar in the last few days,
and I think for Umut, maybe he was going into that game,
maybe thinking he could have made a run for the tournament.
But RVP, he has been a top-top player in the last few years.
But I was also looking at that,
D. Fernandez against Levy.
What a game that was.
You can see the frustration with Levy the way that the end
started to see him go home with D. Fernandez,
showing why he's in the tournament still.
Now, as PH Sinske crushed up the hands of Samu Gamer,
Samu moves on. What's his reward?
Well, the guy who hasn't dropped a game yet.
18 points the only six in all performance
Bonanno is waiting for him in round two when it comes to MS. Sorry
Well, he dropped the most goals in the opening round 11 to 2 was the final score as he sends Christopher packing
Yeah, he's still got it. He's still got the aura hasn't he see it with the smile
It's great to see the king of the jungle back on the big stage where he belongs
Maybe just maybe he might be closing in on something very special
But there is a long way to go here
We have to go back and we have to touch on that D Fernandez, of course beating Levy
But also Paolo Neto as well back in the wins in the next round. He'll be delighted
Yeah, you can see the team liquids come from four places to this
They still have a Palo Neto a man of which are still in the competition
But things can change very quickly and look he turned with the sorry
I think he's a bit of a cheat code for him. He just looks so cool carbon collected
Of course, he's always been composed in 2018 World Champ World Champion
He's been around for a long time, and of course, he's built his name for a reason, got his own team now.
I think he's sitting in such a comfortable position because he knows if he ain't going to do it, he's going to add his right behind him falling in and out.
Maybe he could do it.
Here is the 21-year-old German crushing a key of his own.
It's Milkoov getting his win.
The surprise player coming in with the lowest ranking of anyone takes out Karim's back.
Yeah, absolutely.
he's a fantastic player. He's
a fantastic player. He's a
fantastic player. He's a
fantastic player. He's a
fantastic performance by him,
and he spoke to me a little
bit off camera, and he was
speaking about the pressure. He
puts himself under pressure, but
he's also relishing it, and he
looks like a player who is
relishing it. He's got the ice
man up next and this man as
well. We haven't really spoken
about it as much in terms of
Saudi players. He's the one who
actually won the Saudi tab dog.
Abumak is a fantastic player.
He's had a brilliant run in the
competitive scene, and maybe
just maybe it could be his
year. Of course, the story has
been the king of Saudi Arabia.
But Abumaka, for the last two or three, it has been his game.
But we can potentially see them face off later on in the competition.
We'll be excited to see, but he still has one more round before that.
But yeah, there's so much talent in this player.
Representing Al-Qaqsia Abumaka, it will get a 5-2 victory.
Now we'll be playing against Hezars.
I know one of your favorite players left in this tournament.
It will not be an easy round, as two of them are top scorers.
Yeah, absolutely. Both love the goals.
I mean, there's a great thing about this game and this game title is we are guaranteed entertainment.
We're going to get that in that game with hazards.
There's just so much quality on show here in Paris for the EWC.
And it's exactly how I think if anyone had mapped out the world
championships being it'd be like this position.
We're still missing some huge names from this.
Remember, we've lost a few huge names already shells.
But the quality here, the standard that we're seeing is right at the top.
I mean, even with that Emory and Anders game, there was a moment where Emory,
I think, took a long shot.
It wasn't going to go in.
Right.
the crowd on the little way.
I'm not gonna lie.
If that was me, I would have been fuming.
So I think if I was with the crowd behind me,
it's gonna be so hard for anyone to look him down.
But he's right behind you.
You're just speaking.
Here's the liquid snare drum out there somewhere.
It has been beaten very loud,
but I expect it to get louder as the day goes on.
For now, enough yapping at the desk.
Let's get into the next round of action.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, let's get right into it.
It's a huge part of getting
an easier bracket. Sometimes we don't talk about that enough. We think because I completely disagree with what Andrew was saying that the three days before this one, they don't count. They do count. Absolutely. It is a great way of knowing if your team is working, if your tactics are working.
I don't think it matters for
him because when you don't care,
he don't care, but it's the same
as watching Leon and Messi in
football. You shouldn't be
looking for Messi if you're
trying to know how to play
football because he's a
different beast. Well, the guys
that they saw you through some
of those matches taking place
got Matisse, but I know
against Samuel Gamer.
game. I mean, Michael was 12
goals away from Hezers. And they
match up now in the round of 16.
Let me think. Please MS. Desiree.
You might be able to hear in the
background. The team Falcons
funds getting behind not only
their favorite player, but they
the team. The team. The team
is the best team. Let me think
plays Ms Desiree. You might be
able to hear in the background
the team Falcons fans getting
behind not only their favorite
player, but the chairman of the
entire organization as well. And
finally, the ice when the
2020 runner up Nicholas 99 FC
is underway against milker
love and some of gamer will love
with the left foot but he went for the ball roof in S to make it 1-0 and so far we
haven't seen Samu Gamer suffer on the defense so I'm curious to see how
Bonanno will approach this game because of course Bonanno didn't drop a single
point in the regular format but the league state for... I don't know I just
think Samu Gamer so far has been a double I do think he is even though it
doesn't make sense. I do favor him. I've got to say, Samu Gamer, three wins for
his opening three, then lost three in a row, lost to Abimaka, lost to Manibuchore,
lost to Luke Devive. You're then looking ahead, you're thinking he's coming in with
no momentum, he's coming in with no confidence. What happens? He goes on big
PhD, six goals to what? I just feel like he's the way he plays and the way, not
not only the way he plays, the way he defends really works out well against South Americans.
I'm thinking Matias Bonanno, BHC, and Nicolas. I do remember Nicolas in the league stage
of the ECL. He suffered a lot against Summergamer. So I'm curious to see how Mati does, and
if he does well, he will win.
It certainly does. So what do we know?
Nothing.
One-one, Matias Bonanno. He has been perfect here at the FC Pro World Championships, so
Sam, he gets right back into the game. Speaking of South Americans, speaking of Argentines,
to the best Argentinian player
of all time. Nicholas 99 fc
easy action taking on the
underdog milker love. Over 100
places different in the SC pro
world rankings. Let's jump in
there because there has been an
early goal in that game. Make it
to early goals. And it's
After Washi, I saw the bracket, we all saw the bracket.
Nicholas is on the top half of the bracket, he avoids Anders,
Alejandro Lyon, Umet, Di Flanders, Emre Yulmaz, Manu Bichore, Nassada.
Is this the best opportunity for him to get to a grand final since 2022?
This is the one, this is the one.
I feel like she's been playing really well throughout the whole season,
but when it gets to those matches against, maybe sometimes pH,
sometimes, Andrews as well, he wasn't good enough.
But this one, he should be the favourite
coming into his side of the bracket.
He should be in the final.
This is his chance of winning the World Championship.
I tell you what, I'm retiring.
And Mr. Sarri wins.
And Mr. Sarri, Nicholas, what a final.
What is this, 2019?
Wow.
We are rolling the clock back.
As it stands right now, Nicholas will be winning.
last game. Seven goals to one
to levy. Deveys. Do you read
anything into that gravel? He
already had five wins. Maybe
just the concentration slipped
in the last game. It's a tough
to call cause. I do feel like
even though I mentioned league
stage does matter, not because
it's a whole different thing.
And the way MS society has been
There was a goal from Matias Banano going to and up for Manchester City jumping back on
board with live action here.
Get to the byline, fires across into a dangerous area, can't quite connect to the back post.
And I'm sure we all know MS Society playing in the World Championship on the knockout
stage.
Four different beasts.
It is just awe, isn't it?
feels when he steps in, like business has just picked up ever so slightly.
He can see us with a great save at the near post there as the Lord driven came across.
You can see the use of the defensive mechanics from coming in from members
was already the second man pressed, the double second man pressed as well.
As we see, Hesers, as you mentioned before, making it 2-1 against Abu Maka.
We probably don't talk about
Hezers enough.
Two times each of them,
Grand Finalist. We talked about
the top side of the bracket here.
We're looking at this and thinking, well, I'm in there as well.
I can make another final. I can make another major final.
I'm a big fan of Hezers.
Maybe get a bit of revenge
in Sandersberg in a Grand Final as well.
I could definitely see Hezers making it into a final.
I wouldn't say Dark Horse
because he comes from being a runner-up.
But I don't think
I don't think we talk about hers is enough and especially after working with one month. They're defensively and in game management
So good now. It's the mindset
They've drilled into it. And he uh, it just looks
They've taken the diamond and they've just polished it. He always had the ability. He always had the quality. They've just
redefined a little bit of those
Deeper mechanics, shall we say and he looks here a much more complete player
He'll be taking on.
Palo netto, Hugo Perez takes on R&P legend.
Nassada will play D-Fernandez.
And Manu Pachoray, reigning the Fendi World Champion,
takes on World Number One, Anders Vergang.
Nicholas, up against Nuka Love.
After the pause, Nuka's got two back.
He's been playing better, we've not seen enough but...
It does look like throughout the whole week, Mielka on the left side of the pitch, he
attacks really well.
He's got this camera side.
Yes, a lot.
But it was also not very good at defending away from the camera.
Yes, I was just going to mention that one.
That's Nicklaus.
Got a score.
Got the rebound off the post.
It seemed it never to go.
That attack was going to end here, Nicklaus got.
It is never to go.
a lot of tape relationship between
Nicholas and being a junior.
He hated him first day,
loved him second day,
and now it seems like
they're in love again.
Still goers for everyone asking.
It's been Levy Finn
of RB Weibzig and MS Dossary.
Niel Niel, no colourful come forward from the kickoff.
Let's just see this attack coming through.
They will jump around to another of our matches here
round of 16. You're watching this, you've got world championships live from these sports
World Cup in the heart of Paris, Musiala! In a city of love, local love, we'll absolutely
love what he's doing right there. That was probably one of the best goals we've seen
so far throughout the whole week. Back to back, skilling with Musiala, opening up the
to the end of the game. I'm
pretty sure this is the angle
for finesse. I will say. This
doesn't look like the 100 best
pain. Awesome. It doesn't. What
a goal Wow. What a goal. That
will just give Nicholas. Maybe
a second thought as well. If
my opponent's got those sorts
of skills in the locker. Do
building on the edge of the box, he's Nicholas.
Do you do wear some respect when the score goes like that?
When you're Nicholas you're thinking, next time I won't be that lazy on the defence.
I'm not going for the advanced defending, I'm not going for the second man press, I gotta be active
when I'm defending because if not, just punish.
We've got goals everywhere, you look at the moment, Nicholas 4-3,
Melka, love on the finance, 4-4.
If Nicholas is going to make the final, it's not going to be easy.
First blood does go to Levy Finn.
One meal, let's see if we have the chance to look at the replay.
I do think Mr. Sarri is happy with the way this game is going.
Because he doesn't like him to end.
Let's say especially in FC 26 in which he likes to control the match.
So even though, as you mentioned, first blood went to Levy Finn,
I feel like this is his match.

money. More than double it if
you win. This is where it gets
dangerous for Mr Sorry. He
attacks with a full back. Well
the ball. That's the first
45th. Great first half. This
is the FC that I like. One in
which they defend really well.
I do expect them, especially
to turn it up a notch in the
second half from the offensive
side of things. And they've
been here the fans as well,
getting behind him. Could they
they've been playing factor very
close to the center? I don't
know. I'm not sure if you can
see that. I don't know how
close they are to the center.
I'm not sure. I don't know
how close they are to the
a very close to stage. We're
not used to having fans that
close to the stage, so that could
play a huge factor, especially
for everything. You can hear him
now getting vocal. But I know
did concede first, but since
then. I know we've talked about
Nicholas on this side of the
bracket. But I know it's going to
be seven from seven feelings
this game. Can you do the full
It seems a lot more focused the words, but it looks a lot more well rounded from Banana
from what we've seen this season.
Of course the main man in here has to be Mathias Banana because of the work he's been doing,
but if you want to win championships, Betinho as your coach, he's the main man.
I'm telling you, if I were at any Esports club, I'd be giving away all the money in
The story emerging from this round

We see these attack from yes, Bonanno who's

He was
You see Nicholas stories has been amazing. No coach

I will tell you, it has surprised me, I thought it was going to be not an easy win for Nicolas, but a convincing one.
Updates for our matches, Bernardo 4-1 against Samir Gamer, Nicolas 5, Milkylo 5, Levy Finn 1-0 against MS Dostory and still a half time, Kezuz, Abhimacca, 3-3.
Oceala down the pipeline, the Bruiser comes in, it's a little bit rushed from Milka Love, and he's just given Nicholas a goal.
Those are the mistakes that you simply cannot afford to do if you want to progress into the quarterfinals.
They're the arrows that will cost you not only placement, grabs, but thousands of dollars as well.
and when you're playing against the best players in the world, such as Niklas, you will get punished.

A combination from the analog sprinting with the technical, which is something that we didn't see in the League of Suppro.
When he's first started using the analog sprinting we all thought that was just him, but now he's combining it with the technical.
It feels like when he is just dribbling between lines, you just can't get the ball off him.
Almost got too many weapons at his disposable.

Hold on.
Four minutes left to play.
Matias Bonano should be able to hold the ball for seven minutes.
Still the view.
If there's one player, if I'm coaching...
But you just say you just do you here.
You know what to do.
That's Matias Bonano.
you can see him with the left

I do see Nicholas making mistakes while holding the vote.
And for the Alex printing as we see here, wow, some wars coming from the states.
And he junior under for this 86.
Let's get over there.
Let's get to the sorry because the king of the jungle has got
He's fans off their feet.
Two goals in two minutes from the 2018 World Champion.
Levy Finn 2, Emma Sasari 2.
And Levy Finn comes forward and Casillas saves it.
They're going to give him movement.
Rich, what's going on? How is it to do?
There's two goals in a flash.
We're back live now, live pictures.
I try forward with Tevis, because he knows the fallback from inside of position.
There are so many bodies on this left side of the pitch with Shaka, with Juliano Cimeone.
It's such a different game that we usually see.
Yes.
Not a lot of goals, good defending, a lot of possession play.
It's a throwback match
Here at the SC Pro World Championship Saka twisting turning fires of Maldini scrappy
And those two quick fire goals have been cancelled out from Levy thing for two
It was a scrappy blood you've got the job done

Something that I really like to comment every time I get to see Hezhar's playing.
He's using the classic camera, which is something that blows my mind.
Like, you shouldn't be able to understand the angles when you're getting to a final third, as good as he does.
Like, I just don't get it.
I talked to Hwa Ma about this, like, how have you ever talked to him about maybe changing camera stuff?
And Luthi is just happy with this camera.
The foul comes in. Referee does play advantage.
Look at the game management from Hezers.
Have you ever seen this from Hezers prior to this year?
It's just perfect, Rich.
Beautiful ball over the top two,
Bellingham in on goal, Traveller past the goalkeeper.
It's simply a fist bump to coach.
And a 6-3 lead in Hezers after coming so close
in the e-Champions League.
It's on another championship run here.
He invited the pressure, getting the ball to the centre-backs.
And when the pressure came, it was an easy pass, manual pass.
And then the game turned to a finish.
It's 3-6-4.
Yes, it is.
Still got time.
Still time. Still time on the clock to play with Rabi Maka.
But what have we talked about?
the game management from Hezers, it's improved.
You're not expecting to give the ball away
two separate occasions in the final six minutes.
And it has happened to him back at ECL,
at the league stages as well.
Each time that you get to this point,
then maybe you lose the ball,
maybe you don't perform as much as Juan Man expecting you.
You're getting experience.
You're getting the experience and it pays off
because the game management from Hezers
has been pretty much incredible.
you're not getting the ball off
him. I'll say. If you get it,
then you pass it back to him.
Nicholas as well. Maybe not to
also an interview, but he's also
not a, um. He's been around the
block. Shall we say he'll look
at this bracket and go? Okay,
this matters. This is it.
Absolutely. Muckalov. You
Absolutely. Muckeloff.
Looking to spin inside, can't quite get away from the defender.
They are Argentinians and they like to talk about Mufa and stuff,
so I'm sure between him and Ferd, they haven't talked about it,
but they're both thinking. This is their final chance of winning the World Championship.
Look at that reaction from Nicolas. Top 8 secured.
the first thing you've seen.
straight over a very, very quick handshake with Milka Love.
He will play the winner of Levy Finn and M.S. Desiree next
in the quarter-finals tomorrow.
And it's going to be potentially some late drama
because Dossary has a chance.
Aroo steps in.
And that will be it.
to the king of the jungle.
Well, everything.
After five wins in the group,
a disappointing into the league stage
comes back with a big victory.
Look at what it means.
Night watch alongside him.
And Nicholas is next.
We have to say,
you can see that. You can see
that. Commiserations, the
necessary. The king of the
jungle. But rich. There you
have it. We're wrapping up very
very quickly here from the
commentary position. What we've
got coming up after the break.

Guys, come here. Who won this competition?
Canetinha? Was it the Brucho? Or was it Winnie?
It was me. I won. It's bad.
Guys, I think it was me. That's the phenomenon.
So guys, see you on the main stage at AWC 2026.
Let's go!
Thank you, man, it won't be easy.
Let's go.
Aah!
We're meeting here at the WC.
26 are waiting for you.
Come on.
No, no.
We're meeting here on the WC.
26 is waiting for us.
Welcome back everyone to the FC Pro World Championships.
I am joined by Hesers, who just had a fantastic day.
big victory over Abu Maka. Obviously, you nearly slid into that top 8, so you went all the
way to the round of 16, but great when you were just neck and neck until halftime and
then you took it away, didn't you?
Yeah, it was like close until halfway after I started to play better and also I scored
a double miss chance while I was not doing it in the first half, and so I think it was
a deserved win.
Looking forward though, Matias Bonanno is going to be your next opponent, and I don't
I don't know if anyone knows, but he is now Italian competing for Italy, so it's Italy versus Italy.
At first I was like, he's a last Italian, but Matteo Spannano is also Italian, so that's going to be a big match-up, because it means a lot, doesn't it?
I mean, we are going to play for everything tomorrow. You can win the World Cup, you are going to qualify for the Pro Open, you are playing for the United Nations Cup, everything.
So it will be tense, and I hope that they can win.
How do you beat a player like Matteo Spannano who's gone unbeaten in this competition so far?
I mean, we are a lot different, they prefer to defend, they prefer to attack, so usually
in Italy we say that the best attack is to defense, I hope to prove them wrong.
Now tomorrow obviously we're over on the big stage, the lights, the cameras, it's going
to be a very, very big event, is that daunting at all to you, does that make you nervous,
are you just ready to play?
I mean, as from when I start to watch esports, it was always about Sunday Champ, so tomorrow
I'm the champ, we're going, I'm going to do it.
All right, well, either way, that matchup,
Mati versus Hezer is going to be a very, very good one tomorrow.
You do not want to miss it.
But guys, over at the desk, it's going to be Italy versus Italy.
What are we thinking?
I think Italy's guaranteed top four in this tournament.
Congratulations to Hezers.
The smile remains on his face four days into the competition.
He's into our top eight.
Were there any doubts coming into the week?
No, and I think from his lost three goals,
you can just see the composure and the way how he's playing. He's playing at a control level
and that's the type of level you want to see Hezza's playing at. And if he is playing with
the right possession, the right play style, he can put his hands on the trophy, but it shows how
much he's increased over the years. I think Graves said it perfectly on commentary. He said,
like, this is parts of Hezza's game when he was keeping possession. We have led to a goal
that in previous FC titles, you might necessarily not have seen from him. He just let it rip in
the past. His game management's improved so much. He's really good at keeping leads. He's
good at building on leads. He seems to be really confident and it's great to see him
up there. He's just great for the east wall. He loves the game and he loves just being here.
It's amazing. He wasn't the only one to walk away with the win. Shelds, we also saw the
doctor and crew walking away with another W. We interviewed him earlier, talked about
all the competitors in the event, thoughts on their performances because we have an
the top eight now. Yeah,
was taken on the sorry. I
thought that was a tough game,
but let me fit. He's so
composed on the board. He's
all around the box. It's just
like he's walking, waiting
for the sorry to make the
wrong mistake, and he is
still represented. Oh, I'll
be able to say, but listen,
let me finish. Only lost one
game in this tournament. He
is playing at an incredible
level, and that was such a
narrow game. Just one goal
separated the two players.
Have a sorry. The king of the
jungle eliminated as Levy
Finn moves forward. Of course,
you saw Nicholas making a lot
I've been making a lot of noise on the stage and FG. I know you weren't a big fan of all the words that were used. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I've just a massive fan of what
Milka Love's done. I spoke to him a little bit off camera. He wasn't really sure the reason for it. He didn't know what was going on. But I mean, I do like to see that from
Nicholas, that competitive side. We see it a lot from Anders as well. And this is how much it means to our players. The prize pool here is massive. It's a chance to become the best in the
undisputed best in the world, which somebody is going to be doing on championship Sunday.
Nicholas right now is going to be crushing Mokulov's key. So yeah, we, I mean, I wasn't a massive,
massive advocate of it, of course, but I mean, it happens. It's a high emotion game. The most
important thing was there was a handshake. We know he's in the next round. Congratulations
to Mokulov as well on a fantastic tournament. And of course, the key crushing continued as
Umatski was removed from the competition. The legend back in action is RVP. Yeah,
Yeah, I'll be P. He's always been known for scoring goals.
And I mean, FC, we see how much goals are going in.
So for only it was a tough defeat.
I expected it to be a lot more closer than it was.
But I'll be P showed his dominance and is still keeping
itself in the competition.
Yeah, we've got some absolutely massive games coming up as well
as we see some more keys.
This is groups.
This is Luke's.
Yeah, like you said it, Paolo netto about to crush that.
But I mean, I made the attention after the key crushing,
which is an amazing format as well.
It's that huge, huge game that Anders Vergen promised would be a good game and promised
that he would beat his opponent, Manu Bishore, who's won this competition twice.
Every time he's gone through a round, though, you can see their emotions get increasing and
increasing. The players react to more. You're going to see tears. Like I said, Nicholas,
he is the ice man, but I ain't seen him react like that in a long time, but it shows what
these players have been playing for all season. Everyone wants to get their hands on the trophy,
but only one of them for a minute.
performances lead to some huge moments at the key crusher and we are going to crush
four more keys before this night is over shells before we get into this next round we have
to give some more hints of what could be our mystery nation.
I'm really bad at giving hints.
I just zoom in on this on this iPad.
I'm trying to make the job as easy as possible for you.
I'm focused on the guys trying to stay in the competition, but of course they got home
clubs of gala tasks where I fed a bat shape of a shit task.
And I'll be honest the only reason I hinted to use I was terrified to try and pronounce
No, excellent stuff to everyone who's already guessed it chat you guys nailed this about four hours ago
I don't think I'm allowed to tell you that
No, that word is the right answer. You're crushing it, but also so are competitors
Expectations moving forward who do you got moving on Manu or Anders?
I mean, Anders is the best day in the game, but I think Manu Bichou might upset him.
He's the two-time champion for a reason.
Anders is going to beat him if he wants to win it.
Some special here at EWC for Manu and Team Liquid.
Let's find out if they can earn some more points here in FC.
What's a last round of games you have for day four of the FC Pro World Championships?
If you told me that we would be looking at Anders Vergang, it's Manu Bichou, right?
a round of 16 game with one of
those two being eliminated even
bigger than that. Emre
Yulmaz against Andersberg going
in the round of 24. I would not
have believed you. Brown and
Smith and Ryan Piso with the
last call. Of our final games
they run. What a game this is
ahead of us and what a set of
games we have. Ridiculous even
touch on some of the other ones.
You can see the man on your
screen there. Paulo Neto up
against Alejandro who has been
ridiculous this tournament so
far. You've got Guga for as up
this one. Two world champions
up against each other in the
round of 16. The 20 25 FC Pro
World Champion against the 20
24 FC Pro World Champion. And
this very game. Mani Bishore is
so hard to call this one, of
course. These two have never
played before as well. Allian
against Palinette. That's the
first time of that fixture and
the Sardar D Fernandez is also
one of our other matches this
round. They've never played
before, but there is a
the game. I'm sure that's
the MVP legend. They play in
the group stages run. Yeah,
day one of action, and it was
RVP legend who came out on top
74. There'll be a repeat of
that. I'm sure I'll be be
legend wouldn't mind. How about
this one for again and the
world number one against the
defending FC pro champion. We
got games on the world. Let's
jump into the games if we can.
Let's kick off of Google for
hours against RVP legend. If
that is possible, three minutes
So to battle them to get off the
mark, lovely ball rolls, even
better finish, seven and a half
minutes in Palo Alto Leads for
Team Liquid, they've been losing
players here and everywhere in
the last round, they need to go
for a run now, there's all
important club championship points,
but let's jump to the game now,
the feature game of this round.
This is a big one, one of these
two will be eliminated from the
competition and one will book a
spot in Championship Sunday.
And the winner will play Nassada
Oh, D. Fernandez. If I even have to ask you for a prediction. Well, where on earth do you see this game going? Oh my goodness. Um,
Where do you start? No, I actually don't know.
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
It could quite be a good idea, maybe change that. No, I want to stick to what I said.
now fast, but falls the way of the world champion.
Five and a half minutes in, and it's Gratizakha.
Leading by example.
There's something tells me that might be the last goal we'll see.
There's a lot more to come in this one.
That's the man that's locked in.
And it will barely flinch.
He saw what Anders Wager had done to his teammate
and good friend, Enre Yonas.
I'm going to go back to the
point right now. The chance on
me today to ask all the plays
over the big names in the
scene. Who is the best FC pro
player in the world? Of course,
most people said Anders Malibu
sure didn't say they said let
we'll find out this weekend.
Didn't say himself, though. I
like it. He's too humble with
it. He's a two time world
champion. Speaking of which, here
he comes again looking for a
double. He's kicking as a ref
now. Look at just to pull
a couple of skill moves or two
as well. This is nice from
Manu and then eventually runs
into a Raha at the back.
That's the break forward now,
and it will be Niko Arale's
in the way of the ongoing
runner. Let's be honest. He's
not being perfect in the league
phase as he Anders, but he said
that as well, and he said
that's not his aim. He gave a
lot of talk and understand
to be able to speak about it
though. Opposite here. We have
got a ridiculous game with
Palo neto. We could just
quickly jumping to some of the
other matches that are taking
place here because there are
four games taking place at the
same time. Palo neto is leading
Ryan by not one, not two, but
three goals and ill in only 19
minutes in that game. There is
a pause in it. There's also
the game. We're going to see
the game as Manu and is in the
quarter final tomorrow. There's
been another goal in the game. Of
course, which is missed it. Let's
jump back to it now. Our feature
game. Which way has the goal gone?
It has gone the way of Manu.
It is Shaka. He's on a brace.
Those late runs into the box. I
bet it's from something like
the game. We're going to be
playing. On that right foot has
the finish up place hours of
silver. They started as well.
Give you some updates on the
other games when we can because
there is a big scoreline in that
Google for as R. V. P. Legend
game is currently in a pause.
We jump over here and it's a
fourth for Paulo netto.
Against Alihan line here,
Brandon four nil in 21 minutes.
to get up quick. I think that's
the game plan to catch people
off guard when they've committed
bodies forward. You can make them
count if you can string together a
few passes to help with the
transition, but Manu is doing
really well to cut the passing
late.
To keep an eye out of the
Canada. Oh, it's a big win from
Manu. Surely Robin you
intercept to those attacks. You
just use that bit more confidence
But it's swapping and nullifying. Somebody like Anders, it does you the world of good.
Chance Nazareth for this!
3-2!
Goal back!
For the world number one!
Figo for us has got a goal back against LVP legend. He's only treading 3-1.
And Alian Lyon is only 4-2 down now, right? He's just got himself a second!
that's been the same formation.
That's been the meta this year,
Ryan. Never find it down to a
team that found the way that
they enjoy playing the game.
They've got the lefty plays in
situations and areas that they
need to have them in.
The step over was.
I mean, it's been a long time
since I've been in the game.
It's been a long time since I've
been in the game.
It's been a long time since I've
been in the game.
It's been a long time since I've
been in the game.
that. I think that is the most
popular partnership we've seen
from the draft requirements,
right? Sorry is. Now, Dini
plus one. Yeah, and that plus
one's only been around. Oh,
exactly. But then Anders is
using my Dini at left back. If
you see the way he's been
defending it so aggressive. This
was. Goal number six for power
there. So I thought he was going
to get away back in, but I know
game, but I'm sure you want us to keep a close eye on. As it stands, the defending world champion
who won last year in Saudi Arabia and then in 2023, which people are not was the first time that
these two players did match actually they're in the same group. It was the group of deaf.
Nicholas was in there. Emre Yulmaz was in there all the way back in 2023.
It was a penalty shooter winning against Mark 11. They gave him out of his first
the ball. It's a little bit of
the ball. This time, so that's
brilliant free from back. The
car is Saka into the idea on
the edge of the box for
Granizak is being the only
person that scored a goal
believe on. Manu in this game
so far. Tempele. There's the
overlap. So much. He can
Nazareff for this. Believe on
over the bar. The way built up
there. Don't really well because
you knew you had to slow it down
a little bit. You wouldn't be
able to pull away from the
this one. Play look fits into
the field. Eastman down. Belly
he's been the most popular
choices that number 10 in this
44 one formation. Across all the
teams in this FC Pro World
Championship again. It's a
clever little. Of the pool. There
is that bruiser comes in. Just a
moment of pause. This money
to get a clear shot at gold.
Nassada tune it up against
D Flanders here. These two
that they're matched before.
This is the first time I've
matched. More better time than
the round of 16 in a world
championships, and it's insane
to think that the winner of this
game plays a winner of Anders
Bergen and Manny Boutre. That
is the side of the brackets.
Horrible.
You can get caught in a position
where you're trying to solely
defend that finish. You're
going down line and his
man who was straight up over to
the other game. He's getting a
possible huge block to prevent
going number four. It's not done
yet, though. Is it right?
Massive 45 minutes here. The last
45 minutes you'll see of one of
to see of all of these two. The
FC Pro circuit Nazareff. 33
Game well and truly on.
Crazy to think in years gone by
and this has been on the the
other end of the team file
celebrations and stuff. So now
here in the celebration, I keep
forgetting, of course. It's for
championship, he is the only lifeline left in this tournament.
The question is that everyone be asking home, Ryan. How on earth is the world number one and
number two matching up outside of championship Sunday? And how's the world champion matching up
against the world number one? That's a brilliant pass! Balliard man!
Another great reply from a man trying to defend his trophy.
to the question rather. The
reason why we see these games
is because neither of these two
put up a fire that they would
have wanted to the leaf. Also
for others and Emre, they didn't
finish in the top eight. One of
the only ways they could have
avoided each other at this
stage. Both of them finishing in
the top eight. Updates elsewhere.
What is going on? But Nassada
three in a lot going into half
the ball. He's got the ball
down by two goals. Hold on a
second. Or potential to
a thin estimate back to
Jack. He's on for his fourth
goal of the game. Believe it
or not. There was another goal.
RBB legend now leads five
goals to four against Google
for us. That's about deserve
again now hunting for a fourth
and all important equalizer
was that the right pass? Oh my
gosh. Look at the camera
that's where he's got a lot of
good game sense because he knows
you're not going to get enough
pace and he's recycled it so well.
Kicking Azareff. Oh, it's
unlucky. It's not been able to
find the feet of U.S.
a chance to attack to come back.
The world champions way. That's
a brilliant ball. Look
back. Yeah, ball on. Was that
the right idea? Can you think
the goalkeeper?
The piece of the line there.
Look at the counterattack.
the back of Laquard. That's the
team liquid special and is
predicted at that time. This is
going to be end to end. FC do
not take your eyes off this one.
back for Guga for us five three now down. He's Manu. There's Nazareff. Two goal gap.
You can't quite see all the floor, but you've got a group of team Liquid fans and a group
of team Falcons fans. Exactly. You just hear them celebrate and you kind of know who scored
the crowd. What's up in here on?
Valley in effort from Al-Halani
was four no down, so to bring it
back to 75 and he's got an
opportunity to make it 76.
It's almost got the angle load
driven doesn't get enough power.
Potentially could have been a
penalty is a little bit too late
with the challenge. So we
haven't already spoken about
that. I mean, from what we've
seen in the few moments we've
seen it right, and we haven't
really been able to see much from
the Portuguese by. Yeah, I'm a
big fan of both of these two
players. I've watched them pretty
much in the entirety of their
season this year. And it's a
shame that the Max saw barely
honest a bit of poor human
the first time in a year. And
it's a shame that the Max so
barely on us a bit of fortune
with the animation and it
allows the Fernandez route back
into this game, which he needed.
Jump back over to this one. It's
just called. Straight from the
kickoff Anders. Well, gang, it's
just scored directly from kick
off. We'll give you a replay
what we can. There we have it.
Thank you to production eyes.
you know, I mean, it's just
one pass. Open up the body
from this top corner done. If
you want to take a kick off
look no further than these guys
is going to stop by to see us
what's safe. I could have
been should have been 64.
You can see the chat. I know
you want to sustain this game
that. All of the top scorers
really in this tournament are
scoring goals in very similar
ways. So in the chat said this
is a pure FC match. Absolutely
just a shame. It didn't come on
championship Sunday. 55 is a game
that feels like it deserves
extra time. The last time they
did play was in the quarter
It was Anders the one, six goals to five. Maybe it's Manus chance now to get it done in the normal 90.
Or is this where the game starts to switch?
5-1 the Sada now. He has just scored again. Is Anders looking for a player locker? Is he teasing? Oh, no!
It's an O'Gawa!
It's Anders for a Gag!
What?
It's up by six goals to five.
It's cruel.
He does not care.
Why would he?
That's not.
We have a bit of shame.
You don't celebrate those ones.
I'll be honest.
That's crazy.
Eight seven.
number two, which he's already
done in Emory. You must he's
about to send out the world
champion if the results days
like this. Let's get back there
now if we can. Is that a line
looks to equalize potentially
a eight eight.
Let's jump back now from kickoff
It's been complete in other news.
Dempeli!
Seven-five!
Is that the man in the coffin?
For the World Champion!
Now, I know, Brandon, you're gonna say, right, you always seem to find an issue or something.
the last four days. 85. Minutes
on the clock in this one. Jacker
can he find the angle for the
shot? Lovely turning shot. Oh,
my word. He scored that. Is that
animation cut perfectly as he
powered up the shot that would
have been ridiculous. We are
the corner from our first full-time. Let's go there now. RVP legend, Guga Faraz.
Are we about to find our first player from this side of the bracket into the quarterfinals?
I believe we are. Guga Faraz, what a tournament it's been, Ryan.
Incredible. He's been so, so, so good and I feel like
he could have gone an extra step. It just wasn't the day today. RVP legend has been fantastic.
These last two rounds, see the winner gets Umre and now Guga to put him into the quarterfinals.
I'm hearing a roar. I think no way. No, no, no, no, no, no.
RTP led you. Congratulations. He is through.
But why are they making that noise, Ryan?
It's not because there's been a goal in this game.
Oh, my word. You're joking.
There's been a goal between Paulo Neto and Alialine.
It may be one of the best comebacks.
There are no pause at the moment.
There are no pause.
We'll go over to it when we can afterwards.
It may be one of the best comebacks at this stage of a tournament.
the game. The only game that's
not in a pause at the moment is
the Sardar de Fernandez. I know
he only given this game that
much love, but the side of
what's a performance eight one
in a round of 16 game. First
ever time, but a world
championships by the way finish
second in the League in the
group stands in this world. So
he's going about his business,
not really quietly, but he's
still somebody we expect to go
to go very, very far. His next
game will be against Anders if
Anders wins that. What again,
that will be tomorrow as well.
Anders Mano is currently in a
pause. You are not missing a
kick off the action in that
again. I just concluded that
MVP led you congratulations. You
are through to the quarterfinals.
Google for us out. Masada six
minutes away from going through
and the biggest turn around of
them all looks to have gone the
way of Ali Adelaide. That is
to see the end of team liquid.
In this years FC Pro World
Championships, the club
championship points a big four
of their players are potentially
out in the knockouts. Wow,
five even. What a result this
is for Alejandro. He's able to
see this up four nil down.
I guess somebody like Paulo Neto.
Surely.
Ah, Neto, one more chance.
I have to give these easy chance.
Is that too far back for a shot?
Anders Manu still in a pause.
We have to see this game conclude,
but we can also see that Anders Manu
is in the 84th minute.
Is that crazy?
the world champion about to be
eliminated from the competition.
I think he's gone, especially
with that gift of possession
straight to Anders Bergang.
He's given it straight back.
I still don't think there's
enough time. He needs two goals
in just as much time. You can see
he's going to have to rush.
And Anders is already shouting
and yelling at his mother.
He knows he's through.
Anders Bergang to finish it now.
Salva. Oh no, that would just
trickle him wouldn't it?
And it's time to follow.
He complained in moaned about the bracket run.
Oh, my days!
Allian Lyon!
Ninety-second-minute winner!
The new one to kill on the block.
It's just sent out team liquids.
But it's not the only full-time there.
Because we are seconds away.
the world champion eliminated by Anders Vergang. I think I'm hearing the team Falcons
fans shouting bye bye liquid if that's not if I'm not mistaken. Anders Vergang has just
eliminated the defending FC Pro World Champion and you have to argue he's lost two games
he's probably taken out the two biggest names that are in the competition. Ridiculous. I'm
I'm sure he would have complained about
They've been misfortune but the fact he's falling on this side of the bracket where he's had to take on juggernauts already
And he's in the top eight, it doesn't get any easier dog, I mean I'll be honest, playing the Sardar is just as hard but
What's a victory? Shout out to Alejandro, he's probably given us one of the games of the season we didn't get to really watch
I don't know if we can with production to go back and see that last goal from Ali Enline and the reaction in it
Because we were following two games at the same time in the same minute, it was really hard to get that last moment
We thought we were going to extra time. I thought we were going to extra time at 9-9.
Yelling at Sualihan on SP. I've never seen that young man smile or celebrate. That was from the heart.
The gist of recap again in terms of your team Liquid fan. In that last two rounds.
Palonso out. Levy-DeVeep out. Emre Yulmaz out. The world champion Mani Bishori out.
That was the ball looking both on their feet. That's the rule from the heart man. Wow
What
A round of knockouts that is and then
There were just eight left in the competition all back tomorrow to battle out for
$250,000 that final level guarantee themselves
$40,000 without a ball even big gig Bernardo has his levy thin Nicholas
Allian Lyon, RVP legend, the Sardar!
And the number one in the world, Anders Vaggen. What a day!
What a wrap from the Cormity Box, from Brownersmith, Ryan Pessoa, Graberson, and Richard Barclays.
Back to the desk for one last time today.
Excellent commentary there from our excellent duos all day long.
We've got another duo to break this one down. FG Shells.
Some huge surprises, epic comebacks.
And at the end, you heard it from the Falcons fans.
By, by Liquid, this club championship is about to get easier for Falcons.
Oh, I was speechless.
Yeah, it had everything, didn't it?
And on the other side, we had last minute winners for Alianne.
They could meet as well.
Anders and Alianne.
He's without the tournament now.
I think Anders and this is performing to guys.
Inevitable, even the girls against Manipa Chalf.
Manipa Chalf played fantastic.
Yeah.
It unfortunate with two girls that Anders scored.
But the guy is the reason why he's number one in the world.
There's a reason why he pulls a little bit rubbish because he backs up.
I felt like the own goal was kind of the final nail in the cough,
and you saw it start to unravel.
And then, of course, Anders getting even more fired up on that stage,
getting louder as the game progresses.
But while we were missing some of that action on the other side of the stage,
another huge game that you see a 92nd minute as the ender.
Yeah, pretty much like the last kick of the game,
Paolo Neto scores a fantastic equalizer.
And you think, right, we are heading to extra time.
Brandon Smith said exactly that.
we're probably gonna go to extra time. Next thing you know, Allianne Lyon goes on the other end. You heard the noise in the background. It was a fantastic game. And it's Allianne Lyon who's booked his place in the next round. But like you just said, Shells, it's massive for the club championships. Falcons now will be will be a lot happier. They don't have to worry about liquid. There's no more liquid left in this tournament, which is incredible because they've got some of the best FC players in the world, but they are not in this tournament anymore.
I think they got some of the best fans as well. Of course, you see them supporting Anders.
You see the team liquid and listen, they had about one guy going at Anders.
They were expecting for it, but the fans were falcon.
They had Anders and when Anders was flying and got the crowd behind him, listen,
you might be Thanos. I don't know what's going on.
Manu started off so strong in this one who was able to take the ball away from Anders twice,
but then Anders was able to answer back once it was 1-1. What happened after you?
I mean, it's almost like this man is inevitable.
I mean, I knew for sure a played a fantastic game like he always does.
You probably look back at that, maybe when the when the dust settles and think
I played quite well and yeah, but unfortunately was just up against a man
who was on a mission and speaking of being on a mission.
R.V.P. Leggett, yes, yeah, he is through and deservedly so.
He's knocked out one of the most informed players in this tournament in
Google for us. That's a great statement.
Championship Sunday awaits.
Yeah, great performance from Google, of course, but his tournament will be coming
I think. Probably the guy that's
gone under the radar most of the
guys that's left in the
competition, but he's found
himself into the final eight,
and I think he's still got a
rough was money, but I'm just
so happy to see that motion
from the place and the fans.
Can you see as a rising crease
is getting more and more
pressure? Speaking of emotion,
this guy had on his face the
entirety of this man. Sorry,
but we didn't mention he was
62 down at that point. Does
that not say everything you
need to know about this young
man? I mean, I'll be like, say
but I've got an absolute
superstar in the making without
I'm not sure if you're starting to make him an alley and let any he was six to down when you're six to down and you're at his age, you would think, okay, maybe the wheels are going to come off a little bit. Not a bit. Not for this man. He scores a last minute winner and he's through as well. What performance and another one shells is
I'm thinking about Nassada, oh yeah, I see Anders progressing in the tournament, I'm thinking,
who do I put my money on, I'm thinking, who maybe could take down Anders?
And to be honest, I think it's either going to be Nassada or Nicos, I don't see anyone
slowing down Anders, and even then they're going to have to bring an A game if they want
to be Anders.
RVP legend, of course, dropping 12 goals, I believe is the highest we've seen for a
single game, that didn't even go to overtime.
Now we take a look here at Nassada, he continues to have maybe the biggest goal differential.
How is he able to score so high yet allow so few goals on his own?
I mean, it's just what he does.
I think defensively he's got better.
He's always been a good attacking player, Shels.
But as we look at the bracket on the screen right now,
it is taking shape.
We have got our quarter finalist, championship Sunday awaits.
Some really, really good matchups coming your way.
I mean, Nassada, we just touched on him.
Next up for him, Anders Vergang, Shels.
How do you see that one going?
Yeah, I think they practice a really sharp move.
they also played in the same region. Anders at RBLs, like, like, say, a few years ago. So I think
Nassada has played against Anders before. I think, in my opinion, the way how Nassada plays as the
new gen of FC. So that means for Anders, if Nassada is flying forward, it's going to be very hard to
stop him. But Anders is the best in the world. Nassada has to bring his A in game. He has the
ability to do it, but he's going to have to try and stop Anders. But Otto has been the best player
in the tournament, has not dropped a single match. And he, of course, will be taking on a fan favorite,
And I believe a crew favorite and hazards, but the man I want to watch is RVP legend
He's gonna have to fight his way through Alihan lion and he is on the stage right now with case case take it away
Yes, I'm joined by a legend RVP legend
It is he has taken down Google for us and first of all congratulations
You are through to the quarter finals talk week through your emotions because that's absolutely fantastic
I mean, I'm just very happy that I made it to top eight because only me and also my Michael Chandler
know how much we work for this, six, seven hours of the day.
And also, to my team, I was great.
I want to thank for all the support
that they've been brought to us along the years.
And I'm just very happy.
This is like a big talk.
Talk me through that match specifically.
Obviously, Google for Oz, the youngest player
in this competition.
He's been a wonder kid as we've watched him grow
throughout the season.
How are you able to take down such a fierce competitor?
Because I was like in the 20th minute, I was 3-0 up.
And then I was pretty comfortable in the game.
and I had to lead the whole game, so for me it was like,
it was a comfortable game.
Of course, Guba is an incredible player,
but I was playing much better,
so I was just confident in the match to win that one.
Now looking forward to tomorrow,
your match is about to be very, very good,
because you are up against Alihán Lyon,
which I know you didn't watch this one,
but he was down four-nail
and he was able to come back against Poloneto
in a 91st minute winner as well.
We know he's a bullscoring machine.
How do you beat a player like Alihán Lyon?
Kunismi and Alejandro had a lot of fights together along the years for last year and this year as well.
If you want a few, I want a few, so he's a great person, he's a great player, and I'm looking forward to the game.
Alright, well let's get some rest. Big game tomorrow. Set it back over to the guys at the desk.
How about this legend right here, guys?
into the top eight and also scoring some club championship points a big victory
there liquid is out we have a Falcon represented a little bit more parody
than we expected at the start of this tournament one thing we're not talking
about with our VP legends is he came through the planes as well we haven't
mentioned it he beat Lex to get here he's the only player record in Romania I
mean this man if he gets through that first game tomorrow what a tournament
it's been what a journey it's been for him you can see how much it meant to him
He said shells that he's had these battles with alien lion over a couple of years
He's one some alien lions one some I mean does that help you in your preparation knowing that you're playing somebody you have beaten before
Or is it just completely a new get a new day in a new game?
I think it's a new day in a new new game
I guess I could but obviously it's nice to know the player you're playing against because you're just familiar with some things that they
Do but of course with the club champions that we see team liquid out of it. There's so much things going on
But I think for RBP and Alian Lyon, I think RBP knows the young kid.
He's like a terminator.
No such a young age, but he has no facial expression.
He knows he's got a tough job task for him to do, but anything's going to happen.
I think we're just grabbing some more hydraulics for the hydraulic crusher.
We are going to be crushing more keys before we leave this venue tonight.
And reminder that tomorrow we're moving to the big stage.
So I have a feeling this might help everyone but the Falcons because now
those fans a little bit further back.
Speaking of fans, we've got a special mention of who is our mystery nation. Can you guys please do us the honors FG?
It's your turn tonight. I was gonna ask you to name the teams. We named them a little bit earlier
But it is Turkey. Turkey is our mystery nation for today another one coming tomorrow
And by the way, if you want to come and join us live here in Paris
Please do take it far available check out EA Sports FC pro socials come and join us and come on
What's the action unfold? We have got some of the best games of FC tomorrow and it's all happening on the main stage
And if you find shells on the floor, he will tell you the mystery nation just
Alleged as soon as you come to the venue
I will give you the answer you can tell your friends that they can start scoring big while you're here watching the big tournament eight players
Left in this one surprises so far biggest names left. We talked about goats
Throwing one left in the herd right now
I mean look somebody has the opportunity to put themselves in that in that conversation regardless what happens tomorrow if you win
the world championships you are regarded as the best FC player in the world.
This is the most prestigious tournament, the last one of the FC calendar potentially,
and this is the one that people want to get their hands on.
Personally, I'd love to see Matias Bonanno rewarded for going 6-0 in the league stage.
Of course Manchester City Esports, a club we work with really closely.
They work really hard. On the other side, Arby Leipzig and Ian Lyon.
We always look at Arby Leipzig in the fantastic work they do.
We've got a superstar there. What a story it could be.
Yeah I think, I mean in the go debate in my opinion Nicholas and Anders are the two famous
with the last two.
So there's two left.
They're the main guys that's in the conversation.
You can go with Anders, you can go with Nicholas, I hear the debate.
I think for my Bonanno, he can make a strong case, he's been undefeated so far if he wins
this, I'm sure he's in the conversation, but I'm looking at the two prodigies, Adi Alain
and Asada.
If they win this championship, at a young age and I see how good they are, this could
now take them and become the new Anders.
And I think on Anders, this is my time to stop them.
If they both win their next matchup, that would be a showdown for a spot in the grand
final on the other side of the bracket.
Bonanno, Hezzers, we've got Levy Finn and of course, Nicholas.
Nicholas, I feel like, got loud today.
Yeah.
If he and Anders go to a grand final, who is louder?
Well, I mean, there's only one man who's loud, you know, and I think Anders is, but
there'll be sparks flying if that is happening.
We actually saw it from Nicholas straight away.
As soon as he arrived in the tournament, he surrendered a three goal or four goal lead
in his first game. We saw some bit of a bit of fight. This isn't in his interview with Casey.
This tournament means a lot to him. He's spoken a lot about potentially retiring.
If you used to do this, he's one of the oldest players in the scene and he's still playing at such
a high level. You can see the bite and milk love unfortunately was on the the wrong end of it. But
from our perspective here, we want to see that. It means a lot. Tomorrow's a massive day for it.
We want to give a big shout out to everyone who tuned in and reminder that we have the stream
available on YouTube. If you missed any of the matches go back and watch them and let's take a look
at this bracket because Shells, I want to go back and see a few of these games that we didn't have
on the main stage because we had so many games going on at the same time, a lot of conclusions,
epic finishes all going down at the same minute. Yeah, I think I would love to even just watch the
reactions from all the players. You can see the emotions from all the balls scored. Ionline
versus Palo netto. You know, we thought the game was going to edge his time in the alley and pulled
in the last minute. First
gang versus Mani Bacur. The
facial expression added the
token crap to the crowd, the
whole game. It was just so
excited to see, but this
bracket is just dangerous, and
I can't wait to see who comes
on top. Yeah, I mean, we're
looking at some of the hugest
names here as we see the man
himself. He's going to relish
this moment. He's already
crushed the key of one of the
players there in Emory Omad. You
can see the smile on his face.
You know what? I think he
purposely bombed out of a few
of the games in League play just
so he could crush extra keys.
This might be one of the greatest back-and-forths we've ever seen at the end of season like that.
I'm just gonna be on the naivete beat the goat.
Key after Key was crushed today as Paul Neto took care of Luke's business.
It was his key crushed at the end by Olyon.
I'm sure we're gonna see that in just a moment.
What was the best key crush today?
It looks like we have quite a few pieces of shark just left over as these keys are getting shattered this time around.
The best key crush of the day. What a question that is.
I might try to get some of that little gold dust though.
Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, every single player will enjoy the moment,
especially when you get to the knockouts, because as long as your key's not crushed,
you're still in with the chance of winning.
Remember, there's a crazy prize pool here as well, at EA FC here in Paris.
It's life-changing money for these players and an opportunity to really write yourself in history.
That man will be delighted, but of course, it's one of those things.
It's a different day tomorrow, Shells.
He's been on top for me. He's not lost the game a hundred percent record
But it's a completely different scenario going on that means it's always been like two goals three goals
Never a blowout for any bananas games. He got the job done
I mean at the end of the day, he's still on the field in this tournament and you can only give him credit
Of course, he might not have the highlights of the Sada with his seven one
But when I'm not back in the face, but I know I know him
He will not be complaining because all he cares about getting a W and he fights his way winning by one to the final
You will not be complaining about anything.
Alright, now watch Hazard's face.
I think he may have the best crush of the day.
This is Emester Sarri's key getting crushes.
The Falcon is eliminated.
King of the Jungle will be watching from the sideline, cheering on his team's best player.
He's in good hands, isn't he? With Anders Vergang.
I mean, it looks at times like he's inevitable and he relishes opportunities.
From Emester Sarri's perspective, what an amazing run it was for him.
It's lovely to see the King of the Jungle has still got here.
and it was fine margins in the game that he played in you could argue I mean he's
done so so well probably surpassed expert expectations while being here but
from his perspective he's focusing on something a little bit bigger than the
individual prize it's a small matter of the there is the hazard shatter I was
talking about look at the leftovers that being destroyed everyone trying to find
whose key will go into the end trophy reminder you get to pick three and
And Anders, well, I have a feeling he's already got his collected in front of him.
Two big names and a third one in store for him tomorrow as he gets into the top eight.
I mean, you never know with Anders, do you, who's going to pick to put in.
I think he would definitely take the two Likert boys and depending who he plays on the final.
Right. Nico, I think I already know that's pretty good.
Would he not take Allian from our...
Dependent who makes it, but I think the two Likert guys are definitely going to be two out of three
and we've all made it to the final of the third.
Yeah, exciting times ahead tomorrow.
tomorrow it's going to be one of the best days in the FC calendar. I'm super excited and like we
just mentioned that man he scored a last-minute winner. He's never faced 6-2 down he was at one
point it's unheard of to come back in games but not if you're that man he is a future starter
sure. Yeah I think in the new era FC plays you've got to be kind of ruthless in attack we see like
Nasada how he's defending so well but the reason why he's defending so well because his attack is
that good. I think when you have the ball and you're making chances you're just taking that pressure
pressure of yourself defending and for Nassar, these guys on the roof are going forward.
You can see with Anders and I think, I mean, defenseman championships they say, but I think
you got to score a lot of goals.
You're just key destroyed by legend as well as RVP powers into your top eight.
You mentioned it, the only Romanian in the mix.
Do you expect more players to come out of this region?
Oh, I hope so.
I hope they're looking at, looking at what he's done.
He came through the playings as well.
Remember, he's the only player representing Romania.
We want to see players from all across the world.
We've seen it throughout in amazing tournaments,
especially FC Pro, I think, of the amount of people
from different regions.
If you're thinking about competing,
maybe next year is going to be all year,
because we're seeing breakthroughs from people all the time.
They like to Google.
Even though club, the lowest rank of love,
playing the tournament, making it this far.
Why not?
I mean, if you're good enough, you deserve to be here.
And you can earn some really, really good money
and play some really, really important parts
in making history.
Yeah, let us know what was your favorite part of the day for me. It's gotta be the key crushing
I think it was MS. Desiree clutching up earlier than they getting the fans super fired up
That is just a preview of what's to come on Sunday. What about you shells?
Not a while mean I was watching that Anders versus man in between every year master the crowd reactions Latino the gold
That was definitely my highlight. I poured energy mine was being proven wrong by Matthias Bonanno
I said in the first day nobody is gonna win six in a row
well. Matias Bernardo, Manchester City eSports, well done to you because you've won every
single game and tomorrow could be something special.
I also want to give a big shout out to production. We went through the ringer yesterday and today
we got it all done. We finished the league. We finished everything but our top eight in
the bracket tomorrow. We're dishing out club championship points as well as $250,000 to
a winner. We hope you'll join us then on Championship Sunday. Thanks for watching. We'll see you
tomorrow.
