FIFA 19 eSports – News Round-Up

In our weekly round-up here at The Stats Zone, we look at the biggest talking points currently within the FIFA eSports scene. These may range from player transfers, online/offline tournament announcements, tournament results and more.

TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Last weekend saw the conclusion of two domestic competitions. First to conclude was season two of the eSuperliga in Copenhagen, which saw FC Kobenhavn become Danish champions after defeating Brondby in the final. After not having the FIFA 19 season they would have hoped for, this victory will taste incredibly sweet for Agge, Marcuzo and Mads.

Another domestic winner crowned was Msdossary. The eSaudi Premier League final standings saw the reigning World Champion come out in top spot to add yet another win to his FIFA 19 resume.

DOMESTIC FIXTURES & RESULTS

Round eight of the Australian eLeague saw arguably the biggest shock of the competition so far as Wellington Phoenix defeated highly fancied Melbourne City 11-9 to leapfrog them in the league table.

Top spot still remains with Melbourne Victory who chalked up yet another win, this time against Adelaide United 10-6. There were also wins for Perth Glory (11-9 vs Sydney FC), Central Coast Mariners (5-4 vs Western Sydney Wanderers) and Brisbane Roar (10-6 vs Newcastle). These results see the table looking as follows.

Round 9 takes place tomorrow and the following games are scheduled to take place.
