FUT Champions Cup: Blackarrow and Sampdoria eSports bow out

The FIFA 19 FUT Champions Cup is taking place in London this weekend with Sampdoria eSports’ Leon Aussieker Blackarrow889 in attendance.

Our Xbox gamer took part in the Swiss Round at GFinity Arena on Friday – and agonisingly missed out on the knockout stage.

Blackarrow889 won two and lost three of his contests, but was leading Hashtag Ryan 4-0 in the decisive match before his opponent mounted an incredible comeback.

While tough to take, it all serves as experience for our man as he prepares for the next tournament: the Virtual Bundesliga.

Sampdoria eSports Swiss Round results:

Blackarrow889 v Vitaly Herozia 4-3
Blackarrow889 v iBattle Cap 3-5
Blackarrow889 v Marcus Gomes 2-6
Blackarrow889 v OL Aero 3-2
Blackarrow889 v Hashtag Ryan 4-5

Still very disappointed with my last game yesterday. Played good FIFA the whole day and then choked it all after a 4-0 lead. ? From the mistakes must be learned and I will come back even stronger for the last qualifier and the VBL final. ? pic.twitter.com/XmSRVvdhnk
