England’s first eLions were confirmed on Thursday after a day of tense gaming to decide who will represent us at the first ever FIFA eNations Cup next month.
Eight of the country’s best gamers were involved competing on both the PS4 and Xbox One versions in a special studio in central London with fans able to watch all games live.
And we’re delighted to have Donovan ‘F2Tekkz’ Hunt and Tom Leese lining up as our first eLions in the Xbox One and PS4 categories respectively.
After last weekend’s online qualifiers, in partnership with ESL, our semi-final contenders were:-
Shaun ‘Shellzz’ Springette @Shellzz, Jas Singh @Jas1875x, Donovan Hunt @F2Tekkz, Kylem Edwards @Lyricz30, Tom Leese @FUTWIZTom, Kyle Leese @KyleLeese_, Luke Craft @LOSC_Crafty, Daniel ‘Dandelion’ Whysall @DWDandelion
