#FIFA 18 COMMENTATORS SERIES#
Brandon and Richard went and commentated on a game of FIFA at the Carabao Cup final, with Manchester City and Arsenal doing battle in the virtual world as well as on the turf at Wembley.Are you a fan of Messi or Ronaldo? Want to play with them on a real football field but are unlucky due to some restrains? Well here is FIFA 18 a football video game that is a part of the FIFA series developed by EA Sports. If that were to occur, the gap between the virtual reality would become smaller and smaller. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Premier League getting involved having real life fixtures mirrored in the game on a Premier League show.” To steal Richard’s phrase, esports and FIFA are only going in one direction - up.īrandon says: “Now EA Sports are fully behind it as the developer and really pushing esports, I think we are going to see more things like the Elite Series appear. Rannerz from Fnatic shone for Richard last week, defeating Epsilon’s Fully 3-0 on debut and we can expect him to be back in action this weekend.

I want to see up an upset though, like DhTekKz (a 16-year-old from Exeter) who came out of nowhere to win in Barcelona." Hashtag Ryan stood out for Brandon and Richard in week one, and Shellzz from Unilad has picked up back-to-back wins, defeating former world champion Mohamed Al Bacha 5-2 last week.īrandon wants to see a surprise at the Gfinity Arena: "Hashtag United or Unilad are the favourites just looking at the strength of their rosters. I’d never been to America before in my life and to get there via FIFA, I’m very lucky.” Brandon and Richard commentate on their games and use the opportunity to raise the profile of the Ajax FIFA players on their own YouTube channel.īrandon says: “To get that Ajax gig, and then somehow work with the FIFA Interactive World Cup (now eWorld Cup) and travel round to Qatar and Los Angeles. The phone rang, and it was Brandon saying we had the opportunity to go to Amsterdam at the weekend with Ajax." GlobetrottingĪjax, the best football club in esports according to Brandon, now work with the commentary pair in a 10-week esports program. I still thought it was a one off, but a day later I was back in Barnsley, eating my tea with my mum and dad. "After winning the competition, we went to Berlin for the FIFA 17 Ultimate Team Championship Series final. We made it to the last four in London, and to be there was a pleasure. We had to give our interpretation of the opening goal and put our spin on it. Richard says: "There was a 90 second clip sent from EA from the eWorld Cup final, Hashtag Tass against Schalke’s Cihan.

We gave a go and after the first few weeks it just clicked.”īrandon and Richard built their skills up from working on the pro league, but everything changed when they heard about The Pitch Commentator Cup.ĮA Sports were looking for the next two FIFA commentators and the pair thought they had to go for it.

“When Brandon asked me, we had only spoken a couple of times. Richard, from a radio background, has played the FIFA titles since he was nine years’ old. I gave him a go, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made." I knew Richard was on my course, was a big FIFA fan and had worked in radio before. "I couldn’t find someone who would be there every week and I could work well with.

"I was desperate for a co-host," says Brandon. 10 big gaming organisations are taking part, Hashtag United is one of the biggest names in esports at the minute, and Envy are former Call of Duty world champions." Grabbing an opportunityīrandon and Richard met on their sports journalism university course at UFCB (University College of Football Business) in Manchester, and the double act was born.īrandon, always keen to go down the broadcasting route, was given the opportunity to commentate on a FIFA pro league via Twitch TV. With the Elite Series taking place in such a good venue, you can really see the story in the event. Richard adds: "People were crying out for weekly, competitive FIFA. I came to Gfinity two or three years ago when it was just starting out, and now they have an incredible arena for people to come and watch." Brandon says: "The Elite Series is massive, it’s what FIFA needs.
