The biggest names in FIFA 19 eSports like\u00a0<strong>F2Tekkz<\/strong>, <strong>MsDossary <\/strong>and <strong>Nicolas99FC <\/strong>will be competing in London for valuable FIFA 19 Global Series Points that will allow them to continue climbing the\u00a0FIFA 19 Global Series Rankings. The top 60 players in the Rankings as of June 1, 2019 will earn a spot to the FIFA 19 Global Series Playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will someone stop F2Tekkz?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/f2tekkz-win-march-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5823\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donovan&nbsp;\u201cF2Tekkz\u201d Hunt has quickly established himself as the \nmost dominant FIFA 19 player on the planet. After announcing his arrival\n onto the pro scene by winning the FUT Champions Cup Barcelona during \nFIFA 18 Global Series, the then-sixteen-year old was unable to replicate\n the form that saw him lift the trophy early in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast-forward to the November 2018 and F2Tekkz once again started his \ncompetitive season with a bang by winning the first FUT Champions Cup of\n the FIFA 19 Global Series. The British phenom has not let up his top \nform since and it is seemingly only getting better. Since his victory in\n Bucharest back in November, F2Tekkz has continued to add trophies to \nhis now bulging cabinet. Victories at the PGL FIFA 19 Cup in December, \nthe FIFA eClub World Cup in February, the ELEAGUE FUT Champions Cup in \nAtlanta and the PGL FUT Champions Cup March (not to mention his \nqualification victories to represent Liverpool at the ePremier League \nFinal and England at the upcoming FIFA eNations Cup) has seen Hunt \nfirmly secure his spot as the number 1 ranked Xbox player in the world. \nWith five tournament wins including four major tournament victories and \nthree back-to-back-to-back trophies heading into London, all eyes will \nbe on F2Tekkz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who will be the pro who is able to cut the Englashman\u2019s title streak?
