NewsWinners progress to represent LFC in ePremier League grand finals
As part of the live club play-offs held online this week, nine players battled it out for the two coveted spots to represent the Reds.
Stingray, LFC’s fast-track player, came out on top of those playing on Xbox after a close game that saw him beat Neil Wilson by one. Huge LFC fan Daddyosh was the overall winner of his group playing on PS5. Daddyosh previously represented the Reds in the inaugural ePL in 2019, and this year’s play-offs saw him claim victory by knocking out reigning champion Tom Stokes.
In November 2023, all 20 Premier League clubs opened up online qualification for the ePremier League tournament, with the best players from each club earning a spot in their respective live play-offs to compete for a place in the grand finals.
The winning LFC gamers will now come up against 38 representatives from the other 19 Premier League clubs in the grand finals, which will be played over two action-packed weekends. The group stages will take place on January 20 and 21, 2024, with the four leading clubs booking their spots in the grand final.
The remaining teams will have a second chance to join them by playing again on Saturday March 23, ahead of the grand final the next day. The format of this season’s finals will see clubs working collaboratively again, with one player competing per console in a series of one-v-one matches against pairings from other clubs.
For the first time, players will compete in the tournament on the newly released EA SPORTS FC™ 24, with a £100,000 prize pool on offer and seats available for the winning club in the UEFA eChampions League and the FC Pro World Championships.
The gamer who defeats all other competition will be crowned ePL champion and will walk away with £30,000 in prize money, with the runner-up scooping £15,000 for themselves.
