FIFA is not the most prominent title when it comes to Esports due to its genre and nature of the gameplay. It is not particularly widespread and as mature as other Esports titles such as DOTA 2 and League of Legends.
In this regard, there are not that many opportunities for players to fly around the world and compete in the events on a regular basis. The prize pools for the current events are not that much eye-catching as well, which make it hard for new players to pursue a professional career in FIFA.
Regardless, it does not imply that the game developing company of FIFA did not do anything for the sake of its community at all. Over the past decade, EA Sports worked hard to improvise a creative, competitive environment for its football franchise, providing opportunities for players across the globe to showcase their hidden potential.
FIFA Global Series
EA Sports introduced excellent opportunities for its player base of millions to earn a shot at making a name for themselves in the events such as Global Series. It is an ideal platform to differentiate between the casual football players and others who are enthusiastic about taking their game to the next level. FIFA Global Series requires a great deal of commitment and skills, letting players do something out of the box all the while pocketing some cash at the same time.
FIFA Global Series Participation Criteria
The basic requirements for competing in the FIFA Global Series is that the players must be over 16 years of age, and must have a legit Battlefy account and PSN ID/ Xbox Gamertag. Aside from a few African countries not yet eligible, players can participate in the event regardless of their location on the globe. The previous year, the players from Vietnam, Egypt, Uruguay, and Ecuador received their green card from participating in the Global Series. Only time will tell what more countries will be eligible for this year’s event. There is also a specific registration window that players must keep track of in order to not miss out on a golden opportunity.
After registration, competing at the Global Series asks for the player to become FUT Champions Verified. In order to earn this status, players must meet criteria of claiming a total of 27 or more victories in a single weekend in FUT Champions Weekend League before the fixed final date.
Suppose you are successful enough to do so. In that case, you will be eligible to make a presence on the Global Series Rankings as well as receive the invitation to compete in the Online Qualifier tournaments.
