NYCFC eSports

So he basically enters these tournament wearing NYCFC gear and his Ultimate team uses NYCFC kits. So to anyone who said Messi would never win a trophy with us... Try again.

Did I read that right? Sands likes the guy? Ok, good enough reason to sign him. I'm fine with this now.

If this is our only e-sports signee, wtf happens when he develops carpel-tunnel after a caffeine induced 72hr training session and goes on the DL a week before a big tournament?

Our own NYC_Chris (I'm watching on Twitch) has won a quarterfinal match and has qualified for the World Championships in Berlin. Woohoo!

He'll be playing in the semifinals. We went 1-1-1 in the Group Stage and was 2nd in the group due to goal difference. Won his first knockout round match 4-1, then 1-0 to qualify him to Berlin.

CONTINUED: In the Playstation semifinals, Chris went 2-0 down then came back and scored the equalizer in the 89'. However, he would go on to lose in penalties. It's a double elimination bracket, so he's currently in the finals of the lower bracket with the winner to face who he lost to in the semis for the Playstation finals. Chris is currently up 5-0 through 40', so it's looking like a rematch.

Chris would have to win two straight matches since it's double elimination to reach the Xbox vs. Playstation final (Grand final).

Ha I'm watching this right now. Pretty funny hearing two commentators calling a game of FIFA.

So you have to be able to play PS4 AND Xbox?

Wow was actually on the edge of my seat watching that finish. Won it with 5' FIFA minutes to spare. Advances to grand final with $20k in his pocket.

I would have no interest in this event at all until we had our FIFA player in the game.

I have the RB game on and MLS live on my iPad and the only volume on is this match on my computer.
 
It's the finals now and Chris isn't playing with the NYC logo or jersey in the game...

Probably because he's on XBOX for the first leg and that's not his natural console

Disappointing finals from Chris. Lost 3-1 on XBOX and didn't look comfortable on the controller, some missed passes, some mistakes kicking the ball into the stands. Had some decent tries that were saved or hit the post.

On PS4 his home console, it just wanted his day and didn't seem as good as he was previously. Scored in the 88' but that would be it and he wouldn't touch the ball again. Loses 3-2 on aggregate.
