Nicolas Villalba Wins FIFA 22 eChampions League

In the end, Nicolas ‘Nicolas99FC’ Villalba celebrates. The Argentine wins the eChampions League final against fellow countryman Matias ‘MatiasBonanno99’ Bonanno in Stockholm. With that, Villalba wins $75,000 and the title. Unfortunately, the four German representatives could not win the handle pot. This is how the eCL finals went in FIFA 22.

The Champions League will also be played in FIFA 22 . The last time the competition was a little smaller – but this – Season the tournament is again stretching out over several months and culminated on May 27th – as usual, one day before the Champions League final .

Players from Europe are allowed to participate, the 256 best registered players of the Global Series are eligible to participate. Until November 11th, anyone (yes, including you) could climb to the top tier in FUT Division Rivals and qualify for the eChampions League. At least if you play on the PlayStation, because the competition is PS exclusive.

0:2 becomes 7:2 in the final: Nicolas Villalba is eChampions League winner in FIFA 22

What drama in the eChampions League final: ‘Nicolas99FC’ Villalba celebrated a spectacular comeback. The Argentinian played his way to the final in the Upper Final and showed a great performance. But then came the shock: His compatriot fought his way to the final in the lower bracket and won the first match 3-1 (2-1 and 1-0).

The finals were reset because the lower bracket candidate won the first game. In the decisive duel, MatiasBonanno99 really got going and made it 2-0. Everything looked like a final defeat for Nicolas99FC. Last game in the final… and then this: Vilalba swept away his opponent 7-0 and won the eChampions League 2022.

These were the eChampions League finalists:

Here are the eight players who prevailed among all participants:

FIFA 22 – FUTs

What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Team cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.

Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities

Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.

EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME

Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.

In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
