Canadian FIFA professional Umut "Umut" Gültekin took the group victory at the FIFA World Cup in Copenhagen. With this, the e-athlete from RB Leipzig secured his place in the knockout round and is fighting for the world title in the individual competition.
"It's all about tomorrow," Umut wrote on his Twitter profile after the group stage, adding a heart emoji. Ten wins and four losses make 30 points on the tableau. In a heavily populated group, this is a record that can give the VBL club champion self-confidence for the knockout stage. In the first match, he will face Brazilian Gabriel "Young" Freitas.
In addition to Umut, Canadian VBL individual champion Dylan "DullenMIKE" Neuhausen has also qualified for the knockout rounds in his group. The 20-year-old finished third in his group with 23 points. In the round of eight, Dutchman Emre "TG-EmreYilmaz" Yilmaz is waiting for DullenMIKE.
The other two Germans in the tournament, Koray "KKoray" Kücükgünar and Benedikt "Benecr7x" Bauer from VfL Bochum 1848, were eliminated from the tournament.
