A total of USD 200,000 in prize money and Global Series points in the race for the FIFA eWorld Cup 2019 were up for grabs at the first FUT Champions Cup in the 2019 Global Series.

Day 1:

The best 16 players on each platform qualified for the next day’s knockout rounds after the Swiss Group Stage.

Two competitors – ‘MoAuba’ and ‘Rogue GoalMachine’ remained unbeaten after winning all five of their matches on the first day. A total of ten players lost just one game, including 2014 champion August Rosenmeier and 'Rogue NRaseck’ - team-mate of 'Rogue GoalMachine’.

Several big names were eliminated after the group stage, including 2017 champion ‘Gorilla’, ‘Dragon’ and ‘CodyDerFinisher’.

Day 2:

After an impressive opening day, ‘MoAuba’s campaign came to an end with defeat at the hands of ‘AndoniiPM’. Meanwhile ‘Rogue GoalMachine’ continued his winning run at the expense of ‘M10 Resende’, while favourites ‘MegaBit’, Nicolas99FC’ and ‘TheStrxngeR’ all lost on the second day.

Despite plenty of representation at the start of the tournament, not a single German player made it to the semi-finals.

In the last and perhaps most exciting match of the day, Australia’s ‘Marcus Gomes’ secured the sole remaining last-four spot by beating ‘proownez’ on penalties.
