 <\/span>The state of competitive FIFA 20 was put in the spotlight this weekend after a shambolic series of events made a mockery of FUT Champions Cup Stage IV qualifiers and the very idea of the game being “esport ready”.<\/p>\n

Coming in the weeks and days since Donovan “Tekkz” Hunt’s outburst at FUT Champions Cup 4<\/a> where he said “no one enjoyed playing the game,” and perennial critic Kurt Fenech’s complete ban from all EA games and online services<\/a> – the latest issues around the competitive environment for FIFA are showing the company to be amateurish and incapable of running such a popular game.<\/p>\n

Erhan “DrEhano” Kayman of Werder Bremen esports made a summary of the problems of the weekend that included one set of players being forced to play a game of “rock, paper, scissors” to decide the outcome of the match after poor server performance meant players were unable to connect to matches.<\/p>\n

Such a sad weekend for FIFA eSports:<\/p>\n

– Match decided by „scissors, stone, paper“
\n– @GamerLegion<\/a>‘s @ProhunterFIFA<\/a> cheats against @V_Herozia<\/a> – No Ban for him
\n– @LevyFrederique<\/a> reaches the K.O. and gets a def loss, because the servers aren‘t accessible for him (not his fault)<\/p>\n

🥺<\/p>\n
