The reigning FIFA eWorld Cup Champion Mossad โMsDossaryโ Aldossary (Rogue) added to his growing trophy collection with an decisive victory at the FUT Champions Cup April event in London.
The triumph marked his second major win of the FIFA 19 competitive season, and third FCC event win of his career. The Saudi star, and self-proclaimed โKing of the Jungleโ made good on his word, asserting his dominance over a stacked field of the best FIFA 19 competitors in the world.ย
The King Dominates the Grand Final
In the Grand Final, MsDossary went up against PS4 console champion Corentin โVitality Maestroโ Thuillier, but to be honest, the match was decided quickly after the eventual champion took a 5-0 lead in the first leg (on MsDossaryโs away console, PS4, nonetheless). The second leg was merely a formality as MsDossary held off his French opponent, limiting him to just one goal over the two-leg final.
MsDossary backs up his word vs F2Tekkz
There was no doubt though, that the best match of the final day of competition in London was the XB1 console final. A rematch from the Swiss round on Day 1 between MsDossary and Donovan โF2Tekkzโ Hunt was the matchup everyone wanted to see, and it couldnโt have been scripted any better.
Arguably the two best FIFA 19 players on the planet right now went head-to-head in an absolute thriller. F2Tekkz climbed out of a 2-0 hole in the second leg, showing off his elite stick skills (which he also put on display in his XB1 semifinal vs Tom โRebel Stokesโ Stokes drawing cheers from those in attendance and setting the stream chat on fire), the level of which might never have been seen before. But MsDossaryโs discipline eventually won out, ending F2Tekkzโs unprecedented winning streak across a slew of events in recent months.ย
The rivalry between MsDossary and F2Tekkz was detailed in our Day 1 recap of the event, as the two competitors lobbed vocal shots at each other in separate post-match interviews regarding their standing as the โbestโ in the world.
MsDossaryโs powerful statement on the final day, left F2Tekkz on the losing end of the rivalry โฆ for now.
Upsets on the PS4 side of the bracket
Earlier in the day on the PS4 side of the bracket, upsets abounded as competitors like Joksan โJoksanโ Redona (Complexity) and Marcus โMarcuzoโ Jรธrgensen (North) who showed well on Day 2 were handed defeats in the quarterfinals. Other competitors who made waves included Lev โxLevVinkenโ Vinken (remained undefeated over three days until the console semifinals) and Shaun โShellzzโ Springette (ManCity), but neither was able to get past PS4 console champion, Vitality Maestro.ย
That will do it for our coverage from the FUT Champions Cup April in London, as the Road To The FIFA eWorld Cup rolls on, with just a handful of events left this season for FIFA 19 esports players to put their skills to the test.
