FIFA FUT Champions Cup Manchester Crowns a New King

After an exciting weekend of matches, the FIFA FUT Champions Cup, Manchester 2018 has officially crowned a new champion in Al Dossary “Falcon MSDossary” Mosaad. The tournament began with the competitors split by console preference, with the 128 strong group separated into the Xbox and PlayStation brackets. After two gruelling days which saw multiple tournament favourites fall by the wayside, the two brackets finally found their respective champions.

The Xbox bracket would see a thrilling match between Falcon MSDossary and Niklas “NRaseck” Raseck, as NRaseck took an early lead, only for Falcon MSDossary to strike back to equalize the scores. It would take a goal in extra time for him to seal the win, sending him to the Grand Final.

The PlayStation final was no less spectacular, however, as Philipp “Eisvogel” Schermer ultimately triumphed over his opponent, Henrique “Zezinho23” Silva, in a nail biting 5-3 sweep. With the two brackets set to meet, Eisvogel would need to channel his skill, while Falcon MSDossary would need to rally his strength as the showdown got underway.

MSDossary came out swinging in the first quarter, taking a quick 2-0 lead, however his opponent responded rapidly to equalize the score 2-2. MSDossary again took point, scoring again to try and build his lead, before repeating himself just minutes later to set a half time score of 4-2. When the players re-joined the match, they both managed to put more points on the board, though Eisvogel would have to settle for second place, with the final score reading 6-4 in favour of Falcon MSDossary.
