[00:08:57]Hey hey hey.

[00:09:55]Welcome to the capen ED VZ finals myself Brandon Smith joined alongside the legend that is Mr. Dory Hakee. Welcome to what is a very special evening here in Amsterdam. This is the final edition of the Dutch Edis that we've been used to seeing for the last nine seasons now.

[00:10:12]I mean, look, it's a bit bittersweet.

[00:10:13]What a night we have in front of us. The level of talent we have here. World Championship spots each Champions League tickets. But at the same point here, it feels a little bit sad that this is the end of the road of what has been such a special tournament. If you check how many talents came out of the copy and EDVZ and actually went all the way to the World Cup and even winning some of the World Cups, I think it's sad that we have to see it end tonight. But on the other hand, what a day still left for us, Brandon.

[00:10:36]>> Absolutely. As we said, eight players came into the competition. In case you've you've missed who those are before, of course, we'll be talking you through all of that as the night unfolds here. 40,000 on the line. As we said, the FC Pro World Championship spots, which is the biggest talking point here, no doubt, and the E Champions League ticket. Speaking of E Champions League winners, there's one that's playing in this tournament that knows that tournament quite well in Mray Yas, the two-time champion. You spoke about the likes of Man Bash who's went has gone on to become a two-time world champion before. This is a league that brings out big names, isn't it?

[00:11:08]>> I always say that this is the league where talents are born. And once again we can see maybe the rise of somebody like Max Kulumay or even somebody like Chris Dur who can finally manage it. So here we have the bracket Brandon. First game would be a against FC. So Embra Umas will be the first game that we'll actually see in action. We'll go through that highlights a little bit later on.

[00:11:28]There is FC Volandom from Max Kulum against Damian Setar Damian sorry from Excelsior. And then we have Ajax against Goahhead Eagles. We see once again Ajax with Chris Deur against Resende for Gohead easel gohead eagle sorry that's quite interesting and then we have PS against fin which is going to be Luke against Stala.

[00:11:48]>> Yeah I mean speaking of some names in that bracket by the way. Asende who qualified for the world championships last year in La Liga has now moved over here I guess you could say swapping swapping I guess the Brazilian nationality cuz PG once upon a time did play in the the ed and he won that competition there and you may have seen Dameshi there of Excelsior. He was the man that ended Anders Verang's famous weekend league streak all that time ago.

[00:12:11]We can see you by the way in the Twitch in YouTube chat. We know the viewership rewards are active. They are live. There are two specific rewards you can earn today, including an 85 time one player pack for 15 minutes of watch time. If you watch for an hour with us tonight, it's an 86* 2 pack you will earn. So basically stay tuned because there are viewership rewards available, but more so they're SBC FC Pro live league items that could get upgraded tonight depending on how results go.

[00:12:37]>> I'm just going to say more than two items are getting upgraded tonight that we can tell. You won't know who, you will see it later on. For those that follow follow Ramy on social media, they will already know obviously. But we have Chaka and for FC, we have Lucas Rosa for Ajax. And then of course, we have still Badu and the last one for for Azet Alcomar as well.

[00:12:57]>> Yeah. And how those upgrades will happen, by the way, if they win one game and just go into the semi-finals, they'll also get E Champions E Champions League qualification, sorry, and also a plus will upgrade. If you win the grand final, Hakee, you get another upgrade and uh you'll also of course get that play style of your choice as well that will be upgraded on the item as well. We can see in the chat coming through. Um there's a few people saying they've gone for certain SBCs. I mean, come through and let us know who you are choosing.

[00:13:21]This is the Cappy and EV file. As we said, it is a snack tournament with some big names. Well, guess what? The quarterfinals actually were played earlier today. Hence why we said we can kind of reveal who's on their way to the E Champions League. This is what you miss. By the way, we've got highlights of all quarterfinal games. Kicking off first and foremost with a Ulma um with Emry Yas, a two-time E Champions League winner, of course, taking on Brent of FC20. I mean, coming into this one, always felt like Emra Yman was going to be a strong favorite >> and it kind of lived up to that, didn't it?

[00:13:52]>> It's actually Emra starting off on a good foot after 30 minutes of 1 nil goal came and it's Vitinia obviously with a goal. Now what we have to know is that Brand actually already played E Champions League once. So he wanted to do he wanted to do it again cuz what's one time if you can do it twice but therefore he had to beat Emiras and here it's already 2-0. So you know it's a tough tough night if you have to play against Emiras.

[00:14:17]>> A quick one. Um by the way people in the chat will be thinking why is Fatin playing and Enrich in the Dutch ED Hakee please reveal to the people why these items are being used. Yeah, later on we will go through their teams, but uh we had an 11 million budget for their team and they could choose freely who they put in and we can see that Emra did make some good picks because he's up 4nil already.

[00:14:41]>> Yeah, as we said, Emry Yas was uh not messing around. Do you know what makes this even worse? Emra Yas has already got an E Champions League. Sorry, not E Champions League. He will after this game, but he's also got a world championship spot. Emra Yaz was playing this tournament to be in the E Champions League. That was his only motivation of course the prize money and to be the champion of the final Dutch ed in the FC Pro ecosystem but the fact he's just toying at this point with Bren I mean it was a real difficult game um I will spoil it now this game did end nine goals to nil by the way and all I heard is that the 80 in the 80th minute of the game you told me Keem Bren put his controller down I think they shook hands and left the studio it was good I think after the 9 he didn't want to go all the way to 10 so it was good for him stop um but indeed we saw coach Colin next to him as well they are trying to push for that title. That's their only goal here.

[00:15:28]It was obviously to qualify for the World Championship, which I already had, but then also qualify for the E Champions League. And now on top is just to win. It's an extra trophy once again.

[00:15:37]He won the E Champions League. He won basically everything Emra. He's just waiting for a World Cup and of course this specific EDVZ trophy as well that he wants to lift. And what a goal we have here. 9 already.

[00:15:50]>> And at that point, that is when the controller was put down and then Ray should count to Brennan. That was our first quarterfinal that concluded on the other side now. Right, speaking of players that have been uh to the world championships before. There is one of them or two of them you you could say as we look through the bracket. But Max Kulamire, he was the player that got himself a ticket with Ajax if you remember that season where Levy Deve and PH were on the sticks. He was able to claw through. But Damesh did start this game the better of the two.

[00:16:16]>> Indeed. One up already Dame Sheet. And then it's up to Voland with Max Kulomi to to reply. And also for those that know Dame Sheets, um yeah, you said it already, the one that broke under Vieira's streak. And here is the equalizer for Volum. So back again 1-1.

[00:16:31]And this was quite a nice game. It went from one side to the other. Um and honestly, you couldn't tell at the start who was going to win. A lot of people maybe favorized Max, but at this point in a game, everything can happen obviously.

[00:16:43]>> Yeah, just a word as well on the SBC item. Unfortunately, one of them did fall in the quarterfinal stages, didn't they, Hakee?

[00:16:48]>> Yeah, indeed. Marco Chaka from FC20 already fell but on the other hand as it all come out with Alexander Penetra sorry Penetra I have to say a small Portuguese uh will receive an upgrade already. We will see if he will continue growing but at least that's already a semiinal semi-finalist so we're locked in and here Volandum is actually taking an option for that other semi-final 3-1 up but then you're never done with Dame sheets. Yeah, we must say by the way, these are the highlights from the quarterfinals. We'll be bringing you live action tonight from both semi-finals and our grand final here in Amsterdam, the quarterfinals, just for context, were played at roughly about 5:00 p.m. local time here in the capital of the Netherlands. And I mean, look, the game didn't quite stop here as much as Valden were able to find a fourth in the game. Excelsio Rotterdam did not give up by any means though cuz they kept on knocking the door, Mr. Dorian. And slowly but surely, before we knew it.

[00:17:47]We're on our way to extra time, but there was one goal back.

[00:17:52]One goal difference. And actually, did did you notice the coach next to Dame Sheets? Is that someone who's won it before?

[00:17:58]>> Gio Bendy. He won it last year when we were at Museum in Amsterdam as well.

[00:18:02]Right in front of the Night Watch. And here was that equalizer. So important equalizer. Maybe something specific for this tournament as well. Brandon, we don't do extra time to go straight into penalties.

[00:18:11]>> Yes. So, I didn't quite believe this, but extra time didn't exist apparently in the Dutch ED of EA. The matches go straight to penalties, >> which I think is insane. But I'm kind of a fan of it.

[00:18:20]>> They are testing this in Japan as well in real life football. They are testing this uh specific setup as well.

[00:18:25]>> I mean, I don't know about you, Chad. I mean, I'm a fan of extra time, but I do like the Jeopardy on the line here. E Champions League tickets. It's on the line. Extra time not needed. Straight into penalties. And this is where we found ourselves. Of course, Max Kulami stepping up for penalty number three. He was three from three. He was perfect and all eyes were on Dameshi. Bruno Fern Fernandez doesn't miss penalties. Bruno Fernanch always scores his penalties and that's what happens. But now it's up to Max again. 3-2 important because once again you want to qualify for that E Champions League and as Dameshit you also want to do the same thing. But it's Daruma actually saving this one. It was a mental game. It was mental and penalties as well. The comeback was there, but it was not enough. Which means that if Volandom will be represented at the E Champions League, Brandon, >> I'll tell you what, I don't think I'd have expected to be in the E Champions League in the history of their football club. Matt Kamaya on his way to an E Champions League and also on his way to a match up against Mray Yas, which you'll be following live shortly after these highlights.

[00:19:29]Then we have the third quarter final which is IFC Ajax against Go ahead Eagles and it's Kris Dub of Ajax who takes the lead. Maybe interesting as well that uh Rende did play for Ajax before. So quite interesting that he now matches up against his old team with go ahead Eagles and he tries to take that let's say E Champions League ticket away from them and it's actually Indrich here with the equalizer. Beautiful finish shots making it all square again. And well, speaking of Brazilians, there's one on the score sheet there for Ascend.

[00:20:00]He tied the game up at one. Remember, he was a world championship finalist last year thanks to playing in La Liga. He went and lost of course to Nicholas in that grand final.

[00:20:10]>> This was the highlights from the second half of the game and maybe a moment that >> I can tell you already want to see again. What a ball that is by the way.

[00:20:22]>> Bastian Schwinto. I never knew he had legs like that.

[00:20:26]That gave Oax a 2-1 lead.

[00:20:29]>> This game had everything for me.

[00:20:32]This game was everything. If Bastian Schweinsteiger can score a goal from there and actually go along and make it 2-1 for Ajax, then it's not done yet. XG of 0.19. Not bad. Left foot finesse.

[00:20:49]Desendi doesn't doesn't give up though.

[00:20:51]He knows what it is to come back and that's what he does with Scott Mctomin Mos McFlatma I think they call him in uh Napoli fans they used to >> they used to call him exos back in Manchester.

[00:21:05]>> Yes bit different in Napoli.

[00:21:08]>> What a goal. This was the deciding goal though, wasn't it, from Chris? The ball late on. It was 2-2 up to this point.

[00:21:15]And in the 84th minute, we're seeing the reaction of Rascende who conceded the goal. Crystal the ball did enough to win the game three goals to two and to send himself off to an E Champions League. He is one game away now from an FC Pro world championship spot.

[00:21:36]And our final game of the round was between these two. Of course, Tyler and Luke.

[00:21:43]And it was Luke who gave PSV the lead.

[00:21:50]People are asking why we're not live.

[00:21:51]This is just a quarterfinals. We'll give you all live with the semi-finals and finals coming up. So guys, be ready. We see a 1-1. Just to know who's in the semi-finals. That's what we want to know first and then we can go into the live stream. Yeah, this is a this is a live stream. The games will be coming live.

[00:22:07]We are just looking back at the highlights from the quarterfinals.

[00:22:12]These are all matches that were played earlier today.

[00:22:17]And we're just giving you a lowdown on what you might be interested in because there have been some SBC updates already.

[00:22:26]Someone in the chat saying it's only 10 p.m. already in Amsterdam. Not quite.

[00:22:29]It's nearly 9, but it is getting late here.

[00:22:31]>> And it will get even later. We still have two semi-finals to go in the final, so we can make that brand.

[00:22:37]>> Can we just go back to the second though that there's no extra time in the games?

[00:22:41]>> Exactly. So, >> can I ask do we like that or not, chat?

[00:22:44]No extra time in the matches in straight to penalties.

[00:22:50]>> Honestly, big fan, big fan of that.

[00:22:53]Extra time usually just it doesn't change anything. Usually, we'll see the same result.

[00:22:59]>> So, what's the point of extra time? just go straight into penalties, have that little lottery as people say it. And as we're talking, we can see the 4-2 for PSV. And from there on, you can tell it's almost play 55th minute. Nice shot with Du.

[00:23:20]And at that point, >> Luke was just running away with the game against Tal.

[00:23:26]>> 11 million coin squads. We will be looking at the squads in a bit of a deeper dive.

[00:23:31]as we jump into our first semi-final which we'll be following after these quarterfinal highlights.

[00:23:37]It was a a late charge for a comeback.

[00:23:42]He got one bag to makes it 5-3.

[00:23:47]It was just a little bit too late at that point, wasn't it?

[00:23:50]>> In the end in EFC Brandon, anything can happen if you can continue scoring and continue running. This Dee and Niko pass link up is just going to be incredible.

[00:24:00]I think uh you will see more of him later on in the tournament of Luke because here he is again. Nikop pass 73.

[00:24:15]Game over.

[00:24:24]He does get one more goal back and it's 74 with Vitinia. So now Feyen actually has to go all in. But nothing will change. This is actually the end of this game and it bears Luke who will continue into the semi-finals.

[00:24:41]>> Yeah, congratulations to Luke who is in the the semi-finals. And that is the bracket now which we are going to be joining live. Do not panic. We may have given you the highlights of the quarterfinal ties here from the capen devis fans. Remember this is the final year of this competition. It will not be running again next year amongst the FC pro ecosystem which I have to say if you're a pro player in this tournament, you've got to make the most of this season number one and two. Next season you start to ask the question of where am I going to go next? What league am I going to go play in? And what team am I going to go and play for? But that's your final four. And looking at that final four right now, Hakee, who' you back to go and win the whole thing tonight? That's a difficult question to ask because we have four top talents. I will say Embryas obviously is the favorite for everybody. Next to against him we will see Max Kulumi who also qualify for World Cup already. Yeah.

[00:25:26]>> So he does have that experience. We have Chris Dur >> and next to him we have still Luke. So we have four let's say top players as well in in the Netherlands. But I mean if Emry is in the tournament you have to go for Embry Hilmas. So >> he hasn't conceded a single goal has he up to this point. And this is the team that he has been using and will be using tonight. As we said, the the key news here. People in the chat be thinking, where are the Dutch players? Where are the Aulkmar players in this team? Well, look, it is an 11 million coin budget if I'm right. And you can basically use anyone within that budget tally.

[00:25:59]>> I see a full bench of Tots players with Sano if you if you want a real div player and uh Christoph as well from Club Belgium. So he does have some interesting picks. I'd say uh in in the end if you look at this this team Brandon with Maldini you have bronze as well on the right at right back it's quite a solid and and well balanced team. Some people prefer like a very strong attack other ones will prefer something more defensive but with with Emir I have the feeling it's a nice balanced team. That is the uh the side there. We must say by the way he's already at the world championship. So how it's going to work here is that Voldem sorry with Max Kulami they have to reach the grand finals to get the world championship spot. If Emry does make the final from what we've been told here it will be the loser of Ajax or PSV that will get that world championship spot.

[00:26:50]It won't be a playoff between the two losers in the semi-finals. I mean this is Max's team. He's locked in at 25 chemistry supposedly coming in. I mean what you make there's a few different names in there. Mickey Van in there.

[00:27:01]Kathu the trophy titans are sprinkled AC across. You've got Adie Amy in there.

[00:27:06]>> Those are the most interesting ones I see on the bench. And I'm a guy that looks at the bench. Why? Because those are your impact makers, your game changers. And I can see Sar from Crystal Palace. He just have to watch out that the the Senagly team doesn't step off the pitch um if they can. But uh I think in general here we have a very solid squad again and and it's well well balanced again. It's something we will see. But I think if we go to the other teams later on, you will see a little bit more of an imbalance. But in a 4-33 formation, Max did tell me that he doesn't play 433. It's just for the chemistry. He will switch endame. It's uh quite an interesting formation though. Um he will play in the 4411.

[00:27:45]>> I mean, it's a four it's a 451 or a 4411 unless you >> then you go 442.

[00:27:50]>> Yeah, the Virtual Bundesliga. Of course, he won that just a few days ago. I mean, look, >> if we're giving predictions, I can't see a world where Max Kamay wins this game.

[00:27:57]I mean, I'd love to see an upset. I'd love to see a a change of of guard so to speak. But Emra Yas, he won three out of the four qualifiers. Of course, he went in finals against Gohead Eagles and PSV.

[00:28:07]He scored nine goals in his quarterfinals. Hasn't conceded a single goal as of yet. What's Matt Kamay got to do if there's any chance that he can go and win that game?

[00:28:15]>> If he actually wants to win this one, I think it's mostly about being calm and defending like an animal because you know Em is going to score. just make sure you don't concede nine >> because as far as the record books go in terms of big tournaments and big finals the caliber of player yes masculine has been to a world championship when he was there with Ajax and he's had some good results there as well to be fair I think he gave some really tough games in that world championship but look at the players that enrail can that loses to we're speaking in the FC pro semi-finals we're speaking of top top top caliber players that he would only lose to yes he's got your Champions League yes he's got world championships in the bag which no doubt were his big motivations for coming into this league but I just can't see a while he doesn't get to the grand final.

[00:28:58]>> I mean Emerald won two out of the four qualifiers that we have here in the cap and EDVZ already. So that is already done and after the first qualifier he was already qualified for these finals.

[00:29:07]So for him he didn't really he didn't necessarily have any motivation to continue doing like a big thing except for the prize money because in every single qualifier you get about 2,500 euro per qualifier for winning it. So for him, I think it was more training towards this final and I think he's just locked in. I had a little chat with him.

[00:29:26]He seemed relaxed and he was like, "If I don't win against Brent, I might have to go to Bosnia. Hand in my phone and uh I don't come back."

[00:29:34]>> That was the big statement he uh he he made there. I mean, let's speak about this competition. As we said, it's the final year it's taking place. It's the ninth season this year of the Capenise.

[00:29:43]What a a story it's been. you look through the the archives and for the audience that are watching if you can remember some of the household names in this this league. We're hearing that all the past champions have actually made the journey here to Amsterdam as well tonight. Of course, you're watching the Dutch broadcast. You'll be able to probably hear and see from from some of those players, but I mean Danny Hackerberg, Danny Viss, probably one of my favorite farms. He beat Brian Hessing throughout the rod, brought the rod back in. It was >> Do you know why?

[00:30:08]>> Did you like fishing?

[00:30:09]>> Oh, so in general, Visser means fisher.

[00:30:13]Oh, in Dutch. So that's how you get there.

[00:30:15]>> Okay. Well, apparently we got a recap tape to have a little look at. So, let's have a look at this before we jump into our our semi-final. It's on the V Oak and the winner penalties Jude Bellingham and he missed everyone.

[00:31:17]Well, those were the highlights from the regular season took place in the capita.

[00:31:20]It's a different format here. I mean, every league has its own format. We've had, of course, the club championships in Germany. You've got maybe a familiar group stages with the E Premier League, the La Liga FC Pro did something a little bit different this year with the 37 38 clubs with only the top 24 making it to the cup. But here, four different phases which I think you catch players at the right time in the season that could be in the peak at the start of the year maybe when patches come in and the game changes. I guess with being a longer season, it allows players to to continue to be as consistent as Emil has been. other players just to just to scoop in there because there'll be people wondering if you didn't win the qualifiers, we didn't come second place, Hakee, how did you still get into the final?

[00:32:00]>> There were consistency points. So every time you were in those qualifiers and you actually got it to the semi-final or quarterfinal, for those that kept repeating that pattern, they would be then, let's say, rewarded with a spot in this top eight. And we actually see that the best four performing players made it into the semi-finals. So >> it says something, doesn't it?

[00:32:18]>> It does.

[00:32:19]>> It says that they're certainly in four.

[00:32:20]Maybe an interesting one for you, Brandon, is that right now we have three of those SBC's still in the game.

[00:32:27]>> So, we could be having some more upgrades. What SPCs have we still got in the uh >> We have in the competition.

[00:32:33]>> That's interesting. We have the Penetra from Azad Alamar. We have Lucas Rosa from Ajax. And we have Myron Buadu from PSV. All right, we are live finally.

[00:32:45]Brandon, some live action.

[00:32:46]>> Here we go. This is live for you right now. This is the cap and I need knockout stages.

[00:32:53]>> And already Embraas has got the party started.

[00:33:00]One minute 30 seconds and Embraas is back in the usual form.

[00:33:05]He hasn't even blinked and he's up by one goal still. This could be a very long day for Max Kulamire who simply has to be at his best if there's any chance.

[00:33:17]We already said that he needs to make sure that he doesn't concede and he doesn't concede a lot, but now it's already one nil. Embryos just continuing his streak and doing what he does best, which is scoring. And it's people are saying Shillin, but uh uh please Swedish people do agree with me. Don't you have to pronounce as Gillan? Do let us know in the chat where you're from as well, what country you're watching from.

[00:33:53]Now, Mox does need to come back into the game and try to find an equalizer.

[00:34:04]It's not going to be easy, Brandon, to find that equal equalizer against Emiras, >> especially as I conceded a single goal today.

[00:34:14]Mascul back to you. Formerly of Ajax Esports.

[00:34:19]>> He's already got your Champions League in his books and Emra Yumas already has a world championship spot off the back of his performance in the FC Pro Open.

[00:34:28]The only way Mass Kai can make it to the FC Pro World Championships. As far as I've been told here, >> he has to win this final. If he loses the final, >> the spot will go to the loser. of Ajax or PSV in the opposite semi-final. So >> it does really have the stakes on here, doesn't it for Max Kamay? They need to do it. I did ask the chat where they were watching from and we've got some from all over the world. We have Canada, USA, Italy, some Romanian people, Norway as well.

[00:35:00]Morocco, my guys, there's a lot of love for Moroccans at the moment, isn't it?

[00:35:04]Because there's three of them in the FC Pro world championships, especially off the the back of the form we saw from Nada on the weekend in Germany. There's a player lock. There's Voutinho. And there's Emry Yumas who's already two up in 10 minutes.

[00:35:20]Embryas with a little celebration with Endri actually makes it 2-0 already. And what can you do Brandon? There's not much you can do right now. You just get that goal. You concede it. And actually there was a shot possible as well for Fitinia, but it did go with the extra pass to Enri to make sure that he could finish this one and have a class 2n lead.

[00:35:48]Oh, Brandon, I see one person in the chat. Actually, two.

[00:35:55]What were they saying? There was one, his name is Mr. Chipo. Mr. Chipo is Moroccan and he was the talisman for the Moroccan national team. Whatever he said, the opposite would happen. So we can ask here if Emirilmos will concede goals and just go with the opposite that Chipo says. Well, I'm just looking through the history books here of uh the Cap and Ed and I mean as far as I can I can see there is one man's name missing from the winners book Kake and it's Emraz.

[00:36:31]He's never won.

[00:36:32]>> He's not won here. Here's Max Kulma.

[00:36:33]There's one back. Don't count him out of this just yet.

[00:36:39]Emra Yum. The closest he's come to winning this competition was back in 2014.

[00:36:45]You can remember it rightly. It was that penalty shootout with Levy, David, and P in Manny Basher. By the way, Enra Yman's on the opposite side of the stage. That wasn't very fair, was it? Keeping those four players in the same league.

[00:36:59]>> At least now for him, in his mind, he will think that the road to the final is all open.

[00:37:05]Two, one up.

[00:37:07]But he has to watch out for Mox because Mox now can get that extra boost of confidence. Once again, 2-1. Game is not done. Plenty of time to go left.

[00:37:31]Those just tuning in, welcome into the final edition of the Dutch Ner Deise. Ed should be closing his doors after nine fantastic seasons. Emry has just done such a good job of getting down the by line and just putting Max Kular and FC Moldenam into such a difficult position of what they do and how they stop the potential comeback options of where Rome's already been so deadly. Here's another chance for him now. Etric into Vitinia Co Palmer just offside. You knew what was coming if he was on side.

[00:38:08]probably shot towards goal and a 3-1 lead.

[00:38:11]>> I can tell you that was going to be a finesse with co Palmer. Emiros is trying to get that lead once again up to three, but here is Max Kulum. Max in the orange. Oh, wonderful goal. 22. It's all back once again. Endon is like a pina or like an R9 at this point. So quite an interesting story, Andrew, because he actually was sent out on loan to uh Olympic Leon and I think he scored on his debut, got a team of the week and then this promo just landed at the right time and his goal scoring forms continued out there in France.

[00:38:51]Tell you what, Max Kmer, as much as I've been questioning what is possible, I mean, no doubt the biggest game of all season with what is on the line, what a finish that is. And he is straight back in this tie.

[00:39:06]never counts out Emiros because he goes straight into the attack again. Vitinho now tries to find some space. Finds it with Mctomin. Mctomin to Ramirez. Back to Mctomin. And there was Don Roma.

[00:39:18]He has that play style. Plus, he can do the foot saves.

[00:39:24]One loop ahead of that is only as far as an Enray Shell.

[00:39:31]It's going to fall kindly.

[00:39:34]Hri Maldini scoop turning in the box is probably not what you want him to do.

[00:39:38]And Shelling has that finesse plus play star which is blocked in its track.

[00:39:43]This is the first semiinal for those tuning in. It's 2-2. There was a world champion spot on the line.

[00:39:53]Vitina again does a little play rocking to Hendrick. Hendrick finds the space goes back to Vitina. But a wonderful interception from Yakob Ramon.

[00:40:00]>> Well, speaking of World Championship tickets, I mean, we're slowly filling up the slots, aren't we? Of course, the recent tournaments around the FC Pro ecosystem came to an end just last week.

[00:40:09]We saw Alien Lion and Milov booking a sport of the World Championships. Nada obviously already got that ticket from the FC Pro Open earlier on in the season. Nicholas winning another Liga FC Pro title just two weeks back before that. D Fernandez being the runner up there.

[00:40:26]How many world champions is that in a row for Niko? I think it's eight right now.

[00:40:30]>> Nine.

[00:40:30]>> Nine.

[00:40:31]>> Nine in a row for Nicholas.

[00:40:32]>> So, ever since the EDVZ started, the KPN EVVZ, he's been in the World Cup.

[00:40:38]Quite interesting. Now, Aimi for Volandam and Makuli in the orange from right to left.

[00:40:45]There's actually only six spots left for the World Championships from leagues directly. Of course, the East Ser in a few weeks time, the Konab liadores, then there's 10 spots up for grab for the players, which for a lot of these players aim, if they aren't to be successful here or maybe in a game like this, that is where they've got to go.

[00:41:03]Back to the planes, maybe back to the last chance qualifier in the summer or with hope of trying to take one of those final world championship spots, which look if you look back on history, manure did that last season. What happened? He went and became world champion for a second time.

[00:41:18]bronze >> and tried to do a little scoop turn there or at least a miri spin. Jakob Romano was there but uh I think it was Bellingham that actually blocked that one and now straight into the attackers of the >> Look at the pace from Adi. Ball rolls inside. I tell you what, from two-0 down Max Kar is three goals to two up in this game. What a turnaround.

[00:41:46]just did not see this coming of what we saw for Emra Yman in the quarterfinals and the start we saw.

[00:41:52]>> I just never thought this was potentially on the cards but please keep proving me wrong.

[00:41:59]Sliding tackle actually from Guerras there from Emry Hilmas but it was not enough could get past him and the 25 chemistry draft from M is proving something Brandon M doesn't need chemistry. That's what he's trying to say here. And EMTT is already changing up a little bit.

[00:42:28]You can see that he uh put on a different tactic.

[00:42:31]>> Well, it speaks to the chat for a second. Ch. Who do you see winning this game? Emranium or Max? And if you want to give us a score line on that as well, feel free to do that.

[00:42:44]There we go again for Emryos. Now Enrich tries to find a spot with Von with a great interception. And now Mox can go straight into the attack again. It's quiet going from right to left and Mox is skipping a lot of stations to get there whilst Em is a little bit slower in his buildup play on rushing through ball there and suddenly if you like Max Kamo is just finding his feet in this.

[00:43:15]I mean, if if I learned anything from previous games in this uh competitive season, Brandon, it's that no matter the score, no matter the time, you can always come back.

[00:43:26]>> And the last game that Emry Yas >> lost in the cap. He lost two games this season. Of course, he lost to Dameshi in the quarterfinals of the second playoffs of the season. There's another goal back for Yas 33.

[00:43:43]But side is that since qualifier three and qualifier four he has not lost a single game. He has been pretty much unstoppable now since January.

[00:44:07]Back over to you. equalizer and once again all square.

[00:44:17]This is promising to be a really nice game Brandon if you ask me.

[00:44:27]>> Mickey Vanderven tries to open it up to Kafu. Nice little player rock to open up the space. Didn't go through.

[00:44:32]>> What was the uh what was the chat saying there? Who they think is going to win?

[00:44:36]>> I saw one person saying that Max was going to win. There was another one 64 that was King Killy. And there's one that says EMTT is going to win 65 which is Pik. Um let's see in the YouTube as well if people are backing Yas. I can see of course we can see you on the EA Sports FC YouTube and Twitch channel.

[00:44:54]There is viewership rewards on the line.

[00:44:58]So my specs to be won.

[00:45:02]>> What was it? One times an 85. It's an 85 time one pack for 50 minutes of watch time. And if you watch for an hour, it's an 86 double that you will be picking up. Of course, these rewards are untradeable.

[00:45:15]And now Emry Lumis is playing for the last attack. 45th minute. Two minutes of at a time trying to go forward and try to get that last goal in. Go into halftime with a lead is always better.

[00:45:26]Here is K Palmer now on the right hand side. Gets past his man. Comes back inside but doesn't really find that one pass. Now maybe Vitinia.

[00:45:34]>> Foutinho. There's the finesse.

[00:45:38]And there is Emra Yumas going into the break in pole position.

[00:45:52]He goes up again. Very important moment to get that win in to get that goal in at least not to win yet.

[00:46:00]K Palmer was searching for that one pass. found it with Vitinia a little was opening and got that finesse in 43.

[00:46:22]>> Well, there we have it. That is our first half of action concluded here at the capion ed finals. I mean, what do you make of that? I mean started so well Ray Maz two up in the first 10 minutes.

[00:46:32]Max Kular out of nowhere some brilliant goals then goes back in front and then suddenly in the last 10 minutes is all Emra piling the pressure back on and ensuring that he goes into the break just about in front. As we said this is a player that just does not lose games.

[00:46:45]It's hard to beat Emra and you can see he's two he's his two goals up then goes one down now is one up again. Like it's never ending with Emir is the type of of player when once you play against him, you might think like now I have the upper hands. Now I can finally win this game and he will hit you with two goals.

[00:47:01]>> I mean you got to be your best, haven't you? I mean there's being your best and you got to be even be even even bigger.

[00:47:05]We're jumping back into the action now for the second half now of our first semifinal.

[00:47:10]>> And Brandon, don't forget we have a whole second semiinal coming with Ajax against PS.

[00:47:21]But now Mox has to surge that equalizer once again. Aim right now. Karim Madi on the right hand side finds Kafu. But a great interception from the Akob Ramon.

[00:47:31]>> These items are so strong the team of the season one. Brandon. Did you play with any?

[00:47:36]>> I haven't even pat one yet.

[00:47:37]>> You haven't packed one. They didn't play weekend. Haven't played champs.

[00:47:41]>> Well, I say haven't pat one. I mean I think everyone else around me's pat them, but not me. I say pat one. I mean, we're talking someone who's worth more than 50,000 coins would be uh would be nice. That's a brilliant again. Look at the pace that he's got. He's just offside.

[00:47:56]>> I mean, the what is his name? Ramon, center back, Spanish from uh Ko. Great card. Pretty cheap as well.

[00:48:07]Slots right into Mo most teams.

[00:48:19]There's Ramirez, trophy titan.

[00:48:25]11 million coin budget available for these players to use.

[00:48:30]There is a couple of eriz players that do feature on the bench of these sides, but in the nice way possible, these pros haven't deemed them. They'd be good enough to be in the starting 11. P of the ball around the keeper and suddenly is this where we start to see Emra Yumas pulling away.

[00:48:52]Mox cannot believe his eyes. You can see the disappointment in his own eyes like Paul Palmer came in here. Nice little ball roll around the goalkeeper and then right foot finesse in an open net. Makes it 4-2.

[00:49:07]Sorry, 5-3 at this point.

[00:49:17]EMT has taken two goal advantage again.

[00:49:19]Doesn't really mean anything. We've seen Mox come back from worse.

[00:49:25]53 lead for Emir was as you said E Champions League winner. Somebody that just goes about actually two here.

[00:49:35]Correct Brandon?

[00:49:36]>> Two time E Champions League winner. I mean, people question how difficult he's winning a world championship, let alone an E Champions League where he don't he picked up some serious prize money as well. 75,000 dollars Shellim Gomez now looking for a sixth goal in this game just to try and pull away on Mctomin as the team of the season with Tommin. Okay.

[00:50:43]Palmer on the finesse went for a low driven effort.

[00:50:50]Brings himself a corner.

[00:50:57]Mctomin >> so close to a seat in this game. Emra that could have been maybe the nail in the coffin. Still might be on to get it now. The patience is incredible. It's the post. It's going to fall back to Palmer again as much as Donaruma couldn't get a hand on it. He can't stop the ice cold finishing of Cole Palmer.

[00:51:21]6-3 and he finally finds that third goal. He's pulling away now from Mox.

[00:51:28]Mox need that goal and he needs it fast.

[00:51:33]A little mistake in the back. Punished obviously by Em.

[00:51:45]For those that just tuned in, this is our first semifinals.

[00:51:49]We have Max Kouli from FC Volund against Emra Yulmas. Obviously with Emra, we also have the live FC pro item of Alexander Bened.

[00:52:12]Now over to you again, Mox. He did request a little break.

[00:52:19]Try to get that balls in. Try to change up the team again. Trying to find that goal because you need one and you need it fast. 65th minute. Here is some space now. Chill in back again. But a good interception from Em. Now Emmer can play the game that he likes. He likes to go fast forward. There is space now for Vitinia. Doesn't get the ball because from the van with a great interception.

[00:52:40]That's the intercept plus that did a great job.

[00:52:43]>> Into the pause we go now. 23 minutes left in the game.

[00:52:54]There's some changes coming up now.

[00:52:57]We can see he's checking the stats of the players.

[00:53:05]Nice little finesse here. We can see the goals back. 63 up is embraas against FCandam.

[00:53:15]So Az can taste that final spot. He's already qualified for the world championship.

[00:53:23]So he's just trying to get that uh champion spot in and wants to just get that trophy, get his hands on the trophy.

[00:53:38]Em is still making some changes as well, I assume.

[00:53:49]It's straight into the attack. Nice little true ball over the top to Gillan the PTOR. Also a new team of the season item does intercept. And now there is some space. We have running mans on the left hand side. We have somebody on the right hand side. But as Dugazoo is trying to find Yellen again. That's where he goes to. Now Vitina got past Maldini, but Emmer is defending like his life depends on it.

[00:54:14]>> When he's playing like that, you've got absolutely zero chance, haven't you?

[00:54:18]You have to catch Emraas on a really bad day and those days don't often come about when he's playing at the level that he is.

[00:54:28]Palmer tries to get in behind Carreras, but a great interception once again. And now straight onto the attack. We have Enrich. Enrich against Maldinian. That's just a lost fight.

[00:54:41]>> A few of you in the chat asking for Emry Yaz's tactic code. There's a good chance if he does win tonight, you will be seeing that custom tactic code. no doubt on the uh EA Sports FC Pro channels along with all the champions from the FC Pro part of the leagues this season, Instagram or over on Tik Tok. Make sure you're following the A Sports FC Pro.

[00:55:04]15 minutes away from Emra Yman booking a spot into another grand final. Scott McTominay to go and do that now. He didn't need to cut back inside. Really, did he?

[00:55:16]wins a corner.

[00:55:23]>> Tell you that's a clever pass if he's on side, which he is.

[00:55:28]Petinho pulls back to Maldini. He's not the player that you want to be taking the shot there. Shell might be though. Is she foul? Referee says no.

[00:55:37]Bster did find that nice little tackle in there to take the ball. And there's still time left. Brandon >> 75th minute >> 15 goals sorry 15 minutes to score three goals it is possible a goal is to go in now is that one >> which it is from Douglas Luiz >> is this the start of a comeback >> 40 minutes two goals it's still possible everything is possible you just make that goal before the 85th minute and then you can just relax into the last few minutes to get that goal because you don't want to push yourself too much and don't want to score twice against them in the last two two minutes.

[00:56:19]>> We know players are so used to playing like a 441 or a 451 at this point. What have you got to do? Is it time just go for it? Maybe change the depth, come out, go the three back and just say, "Look, I'm playing for a world championship ticket here. I've got to go for the game."

[00:56:30]>> Honestly, my my personal favorite and and a lot of the pros don't don't agree with it and that's fine. I'm not a pro, so I can say that. But I will play with a narrow formation and just bombard them with the small passes in the in in the middle and just try to overload him.

[00:56:43]Let's jump back into it then. Big final 15 minutes of this game to see who is going to be going to the grand finals of the cap. Let's jump back into the action now.

[00:56:53]>> Douglas all goal scorers as well. Douglas getting amongst it. Why not?

[00:57:02]>> Now just has to watch out and not concede straight away. And that's perfect. get that ball in, try to go forward, try to find that one goal that can give you a little bit more peace of mind and actually put that pressure onto Embry again.

[00:57:17]But when talking about pressure, Embra doesn't feel that.

[00:57:23]Finish the game now. And game set match is off to another cap final. But is this the year that he finishes the job and lifts a trophy that he hasn't lifted before three goals once again is the deficit for Max Koulay. He needs to go in an attacker. Go all out.

[00:58:07]A lot of people are now backing Emra now. They are starting to scream Em's name in the chats.

[00:58:13]>> I mean, you can't start backing Emra Jumas. Now he's 74 up. Doesn't quite work like that.

[00:58:27]Max doesn't stop though. He's still going onto the attack. We still have Dublas Lubis now. Press Fine End. But a good interception once again from Embryos. And now he can play it out slowly. He doesn't have to go into the attack. He's three goals up. He can just play. Oo, but he misses it here.

[00:58:46]Loses the ball and gets it straight back. And again, as I said, Emmer can just play it out, try to take away as much time of the clock as possible. And Max has to take these opportunities because in the 84th minute, you cannot lose the ball like that.

[00:59:03]>> I think that's 67 goals now scored across the ed this season.

[00:59:14]And what does that mean as well for the SBC item of of a Alka? That's another upgrade, isn't it? Hakeim is going to be getting a plus two on the original SPC that it was.

[00:59:23]>> That will be a great call. Now, we were already an 88th rated and we'll get to 90 now for Alexander Benitra.

[00:59:33]Emox didn't really have an FC Pro item.

[00:59:35]So, for him, nothing is lost, nothing is gained. But here, Mctomin gets it up to the post. Nice save from Donarum at first, but Fitinia can finish it off.

[00:59:44]And uh I think both players know that the game is over as well. 84.

[00:59:51]There was a moment when people started doubting if Emir could pull back. Max was leading by one, but in the end, Emir just uh prevails and he just keeps scoring. He doesn't stop and here a nice low driven shot saved by Donaruma. Foot trade onto the post and then Vitiniah is followed nicely and it's basic tap in to Max Kamaya.

[01:00:13]>> So close to a world championship ticket.

[01:00:16]I mean, yes, qualifying for the Champions League is something, isn't it?

[01:00:19]But it's not the same as going there knowing that you can't go and then qualify for the biggest tournament of the season, which don't you can, I guess, later on with the last chance qualifier in the the playins.

[01:00:32]>> And Brandon, this is only the first once again.

[01:00:36]This is only the first semiinal out of two.

[01:00:41]Here it is. Emra Ems.

[01:00:45]They are done. So actually that makes a quarterfinal and a semi-final for Emu where the opponent just stops before the game actually ends.

[01:00:53]>> I mean it's just typical Emraz, isn't it? You know it's game over. He is out of his chair. Emry has already got a world championship ticket back in the FC Pro Open. Hence why this isn't the tournament where he would take that qualification from.

[01:01:10]>> Well, Brandon, I'm already close to my uh 86* 2. You can't be earning viewership awards while you're commentating. Is that is that the is that the added bonus? Is it >> apparently >> of working on the uh on the FC Pro part of the leagues, right? We are waiting for a full-time result to come in then.

[01:01:27]And then we will turn our attentions to semi-final number two. There it is.

[01:01:31]Embrace is into a grand final.

[01:01:38]It wouldn't be a bad way to end out the cap, would it? If he was to go and win that. It's a name that's not been on the trophy before.

[01:01:45]>> Would be the first time that he can put his name on that trophy that he can take it home and it will actually be a nice addition to his already quite large, I would say, collection of games won, but he needs to win that final first and who it will be in the final.

[01:01:59]>> I tell you what, it's going to be PSV or Ajax, isn't it? I mean it's uh it plans to be a good final regardless who makes it there because the level of quality on both sides is uh is huge and it would be potentially him playing against his former team was once upon a time a PSV player when he was with Manny Bashou speaking of that next semi-final we can preview it for us right now we're hearing it's just around the corner to get started these are the squads again if you're not familiar with the budget and the restrictions 11 million coins was the uh amount on the line and this is the team that have built Chris the ball. Let's see. Uh I can tell that he is the only player that has Ardu um on his team. We see Basian Schweinsteiger again. That one we already saw. Van Deven is also a common name and obviously the Yakobo Ramon as well. But something interesting on the bench is that we can see Classen will actually so an actual DVZ player from Ajax itself will be featured in the squad. So, uh, yeah, that's something we like to see. And on the other hand, we have Luke Vvelt from PSV.

[01:03:06]He made a draft. He came in to locked in with 30 chemistry. So, once again, a 30 chemistry team. We see Lucio Balstra again. Those are the common names. We see Strauss. This is quite a cheap item as well, the Stout. You you you would be able to to buy him even.

[01:03:21]>> He might even do a job for me. He might even do a job for me by the looks of it.

[01:03:24]I mean, Lucia coming into the side as well. I mean, look, it's a different team. You I mean Sha, if you could have anyone from that team, who would you be going for? And for the first time, as you said, no Hendrick >> leading the line for Luke.

[01:03:36]>> We see Matteo and actually that Mateo card gave me nightmares. The the amount of times I had to play against that Mateo card and conceded all kinds of goals with that finesse plus. It's insane.

[01:03:45]>> Yeah, incredible scenes. As we said, it's time for our next semi-final now.

[01:03:48]It's Ajax vers PSV. I mean, this is a huge football derby, let alone inside the uh the ED. Now, let's jump into the action if we can. And this is our second semiinal. The winner plays Emra Yumas in the grand final of this year's competition.

[01:04:09]Ajax can kick off from left to right in the wide strip. And on the right to the left, we have PSV in the blue strip.

[01:04:18]McTominay finds Hri straight away, but a good interception from Luke.

[01:04:28]Good once again on the left hand side found stra and now there might be an overlap not found he could pass though to Matteo pass again there's an option there for a pass but a good interception again from find the all important pass he was looking for Coutinho player locks into the path of who might have the pace to get around Rammon Matteo finds Bellingham and Stra would have just been offside there. But you're already seeing in the first five minutes here Keem of how Strauss's going to have a bit of an involvement in this game. He's not afraid to have an overlap, is he on the left hand side?

[01:05:07]>> Not at all. Great card and and more important maybe Brandon for this game is that the winner, sorry, the loser of this game will also go to the world championship.

[01:05:16]Well, there's the breakthrough.

[01:05:20]Arab the magician from Real Madrid with once again his left foot. It's a menace for a lot of the teams. Here he comes onto his left, finesses it far post and that's one n for Ajax.

[01:05:41]So actually what we do know is for this game both players will be seen at the FC Pro world championships because Emir won. So his spot his spot will be given to the loser of this game and the winner will grant his uh slot through the final of this Capian EDVZ.

[01:06:05]This is the second semi-final and already both are qualified for the E Champions League and for the FC World Championship. The only thing they are playing for is once again get a spot in the final and hopefully winning the trophy, getting a bigger share of that 40,000 check.

[01:06:26]And of course, they are playing for the FC Pro life item. Now Stout for PSV in the box twisting, turning, trying to find a spot. But now the goal scorer Ger is also defending.

[01:06:38]>> There might be a few people in the chat asking the question of well why does the loser of this game get the world championships? Why is it not a playoff match between Mat Kamar and the loser of the semi-final? That's because of the form and the statistics of the regular season of how it lands. These two had a better season on paper and the reward for doing so is that they actually will claim a world championship spot regardless. So surely they have known that in the back of their mind what is on the line here.

[01:07:07]Of course you still want to get to the grand final as you said. You still want to try and win the tournament and get that nice little share of that 40,000 as well. Mctomin fakes the play a lot goes on his own and Chris the poor of Ajax he's on two goals to nil Chris is doing what he is supposed to do it's once again McTominay with that low driven shot into the far corner and like you said a nice little fake that player lock and then with his left left foot he just rifles it into the right bottom corner. No chance for Buffon.

[01:07:58]2-0. Chris is up. And maybe Brandon, maybe we might see Class actually coming on from the bench.

[01:08:05]>> Davy Class coming on. That would be a nice touch, wouldn't it?

[01:08:08]>> Especially in a game like Ajax against PSV.

[01:08:16]Now Luke has to find a goal.

[01:08:20]>> Try to find >> Well, look, we saw this in the last game of you being two nil down against a player of Embra Yum's quality. Of course, here Luke is two nil down to Chris to ball, but there is still a long time left to be played. Nine and a half.

[01:08:33]We are hearing as well, which is very much different here in the ED visa.

[01:08:36]There's potentially what B. What a tackle that is.

[01:08:40]>> Caras against Bellingham. And what a tackle indeed.

[01:08:44]came flying. But back to the point I was saying is there's no extra time here. It is quite literally straight to penalties.

[01:08:53]>> Certainly shakes things up.

[01:08:57]>> It means you just have to win it in 90 minutes.

[01:09:02]>> Well, I mean, you look at the form.

[01:09:03]There has not been a side like Ajax that has won the amount of Ed titles from the the days of Danny Hacker. There's a serious throwback for you. won the first ever edition of the ED against PSV, believe it or not, in the final against Ali Rzeran. Yes, he's here tonight. He's actually on the coaching side of Luke and PSV, which is great to see the traditions there from player to coach now. He's still involved. There's big chance of Bellingham. There's one back.

[01:09:31]Back to the point I was making, you look across the the years, Ajax have won it >> twice, no, >> three times. They won it in 24 with Pin and Levy. They were winners of course with Danny Hackerberg and Tojardo and then winners in the first ever edition.

[01:09:47]>> And I think they they lost about two finals as well. So >> they're always there, aren't they? I mean, let's be honest with that, the size of the club, the expectations that come, the investment they put into esports.

[01:09:56]>> They have to be in the final. And maybe don't forget as well that Chris Dub was playing for Az last season >> and now he's 21 up with Ajax. It might make it once again.

[01:10:06]>> Could he play in the final?

[01:10:08]>> Azit.

[01:10:09]So interesting to see how the story will unfold. But before that, we still have this semi-final of course to be played.

[01:10:16]It's 2-1 and plenty of time. People are asking where is Anders? Where is Anders? And is not playing in this one.

[01:10:25]>> And can't play in every league, guys. I think that's normally the question that goes around. Where is he playing? Well, guess what? He's actually playing in the next league that's going to be taking place over in Naples actually just next week. Believe the uh Serial will be closing out as Schwinsteiger gives Chris Dbor a two goal cushion again.

[01:10:53]But back to the point you said about Chris the boy. He was a finalist last year. Some players might forget that. Of course, loses in the hands of Gio Bundy.

[01:11:01]>> What a final that was as well. And what a venue it was. We're we're in an art gallery. We're in a museum, >> Reichkes Museum in Amsterdam, right in front of the Night Watch. And that's where uh Chris lost that final. And of course, he wants to get his revenge for that lost final. It was not against Emiras. It was against Gio Bundy from Alm City. Alm right now are in the second division if I'm not mistaken. So they wouldn't be even possible to get to the final this year.

[01:11:33]Well, I guess the shock of that was last year is that Levy Devid had obviously fell in the semi-final stages, didn't he?

[01:11:40]>> He was fortunate enough though because of his performance last year, he did still make it to the World Championships Leb, which came to quite a good surprise of the the Dutch players that no doubt were supporting their fellow countrymen, but also it could have been a bit easier in terms of taking that spot.

[01:11:59]Approaching the 30th minute here of our second semi-final.

[01:12:02]Emra Yman awaits one of these two in the grand final tonight here in Amsterdam.

[01:12:13]Wonderful little scoop turns there and quick turning from Vitinha. You can see the close control and then makes the run. Tries to go over the top.

[01:12:23]>> Little left the ball there, but Vatin is not really the player you want in the air there.

[01:12:27]>> I mean, it was a good read from Kabud.

[01:12:29]He actually saw that pass and switched on to uh it was Van Deven if I'm not mistaken. And now he has to watch out because here comes Gillian once again.

[01:12:40]Little ball roll. Vitiniah with a low driven finesse, but Buffon gets that.

[01:12:51]A question for the chat as well. We know team of the season of course is running and live right now, but who is a player that you would quite like to have in your team if you can from what you're seeing out here tonight. We're seeing a mixture of icons and team of the season, team of the year items as well, believe it or not, win the 11 million coin budget. I mean, I've not got to try him yet, but Enri looks incredible. I've seen Enrich as well in other championships like if I remember in the the French league as well.

[01:13:16]>> I did see a little bit of action from Enrich and I have to say he surprised me in the positive way. Also Virginia, he is here, there and everywhere involved in every attack. There's Nikico Paz and there is Gi Bou.

[01:13:31]>> Some people are saying team of the year Mbappé.

[01:13:34]>> I mean, we haven't seen team of the year Mbappé used yet, Rob, but I mean I don't mind the the I want him in my team as well if it's possible, but I haven't seen him with the value he is. Could he even get in the team?

[01:13:45]>> I don't think so.

[01:13:48]>> 11 million coin budget.

[01:14:00]shots goal.

[01:14:04]>> Sorry, I was just looking there. 10 million coins Mbappé is team of the year. Yeah, you're not getting him, are you? Well, you're having a full bronze team around him. You would have about 1 million left for the rest of your team obviously. Well, speaking of a fairly priced icon who has been superb, not just here, but in the FC Pro Open as well.

[01:14:20]It is Shelon who has just made it four goals to a threegoal lead as Ajax are starting to really run away with this one now, aren't they? As they're moving to Halime for about 400k, you will get that uh shedding card. So yes, Brandon, great card to have.

[01:14:58]All right, 41 up is Ajax right now. Luke needs to find some goals. Needs to find them quickly because he's running out of time. Almost halfime and a threegoal deficit is never impossible obviously.

[01:15:12]But he needs to find something because he only had like about one or two chances.

[01:15:17]Hakver won from that.

[01:15:20]Now once again on the attack tries to find that long ball into Vitinia but it looks like a great interception from Luke. Dude, last night a few of you in the chat said you had a few issues with the stream. Let us know what that could be. We will of course make sure it is the best viewing experience possible for you here of the cap visa.

[01:15:45]So Brandon, tell me who's your favorite besides in the D visit because that you already said >> second spot. Who's your favorite winner of the or at least the final like the most >> favorite winner of the uh >> the most across the the nine favorite final >> final? Yeah, you can go.

[01:16:02]>> I tell you what, a great final and I remember this. I think it was AS live if I'm right. Was it the the year that Pex Wall won? Yeah, >> against uh Pabs. That's a F Ps and Pabs and Danny Hackerberg. Tony and Jonah winning it.

[01:16:15]>> Jon Gibby indeed.

[01:16:17]>> That was a serious story of a side, but maybe on paper maybe really expect them to go and win and they went against all odds and I feel like we're in that era of EA FC at that time, esports, where crowds were starting to come out. We had, you know, big crowds in Denmark, big crowds in the Netherlands. Our finals every year as well, the World Championships always carried good numbers. is Straoud looking to finesse that one in. Can't get past Rammon.

[01:16:42]Yeah, 2020 was a good final for me. What about you?

[01:16:45]>> I think we went over it already, but the the Ley Levy um sorry, Le and PH Zen final.

[01:16:52]>> Great fight. Again, that's a final you could have seen in any tournament, a world championship, any Champions League, an FC Pro Open, but we saw it, of course, back in 2024 in Amsterdam in the in the in the league, didn't we? in the H2O we did arena in Permanent as we go into halftime.

[01:17:13]>> I think that final first game won by Ajax, second one by PSV and then we went to the old deciding game which ended in a draw and then eventually we had to drop for a penalty shootout and I think it was between if I'm not mistaken Mandu and Pzin and I remember Ley standing behind him and actually like jumping up from droid.

[01:17:31]I remember seeing Pa Jin grab a grab a chair. It was a steel chair. I thought I was watching resting for a second. He was uh he was throwing around the venue, wasn't he? But that was uh that was his real breakout season, wasn't it? Pa in Piaga in off the back of the FC Pro Open and all the the consistency and momentum that followed.

[01:17:50]If you're wondering why we are speaking about all the previous seasons we said and rejoicing those moments, it's because this is the final season here of the ED.

[01:18:00]This will not be running again next season which is gutting cuz it's not going to be part of the regular FC Pro season.

[01:18:07]>> Quite quite an interesting question in the chat Brandon.

[01:18:10]>> Is that from Pork Tips? I mean it'll be gutted that Richard Buckley's moon boots aren't out on stream today but he's always in the streams. I mean look to answer that question. I guess it's to a degree it's just those little changes isn't it? Could be the depth level going up and down.

[01:18:28]I think in general it's also to take a little break. You want to take a little break as well. If you are obviously playing and it isn't going your way, sometimes it's good to get your hands off the of the controller and just give yourself some breathing time as well.

[01:18:44]And maybe that's what Luke did as well in this uh little break we had at Halime.

[01:18:52]dry his hands, get ready to dive back in and try to find some goals because that's what he needs right now. He needs to find some goals. Bellingham tries to find McTominay, but a great interception. Sorry, Niko pass, but a great interception from Schweinsteiger.

[01:19:10]Hendrick, where's that one going to end up? Fakes to go out wide with a player usage. There goes a still just sending out teasers of where he's going to end up. be saved with a toe of boo. That could have been five goals to one. Carter comes in. He's headed back down to Voutinho who's doesn't want to take a finesse from that kind of angle.

[01:19:29]I know he's got the play styles to do it.

[01:19:45]Question begins here, Keem, if there's any chance of a comeback for PSV.

[01:19:50]When and how does it start? Cuz they're 5-1 down.

[01:19:53]Edric called that one swingy, didn't he?

[01:19:58]>> Sir Bobby Hendrik.

[01:20:03]>> He's not an icon just yet.

[01:20:04]>> He might have been if he keeps playing like that.

[01:20:08]>> What a strike outside of the box as well. Low driven finesse.

[01:20:13]Lucio couldn't get a grip on him and I think it's Buffon in goal as well.

[01:20:27]Five goals already for Ajax and he's showing what he can do.

[01:20:45]Now once again BS 50th minute he needs to find a goal that's might be offside even not of side he can continue finds fatinho fit again twisting >> just a complete midfielder isn't he Mr. Dory Patinho that obviously with some so many incredible play styles and then just the addition that he can sit on the edge of the box from a corner. Yeah, he's got the tallest to players but off you a finesse that will go in if you can catch him at the right moment and also how important the midfielders are now if they can continue their runs and sort of make a second man run.

[01:21:19]>> It's very important to have the correct players and I think Vitinia is just key in basically every single team has to watch out here because Vitinia's back.

[01:21:26]Nice little kroeta finds shell and buff with a great safety lofted him and headed away there by Rammon. Someone in the chat said Rammonard a question mark. I mean I'd love to see it.

[01:22:03]Now, can Luke find that so important goal? He just needs something to get it starting, right? It's like an old diesel. You just have to put something in, try to get it going. Once the the engine is running, you might find that goal and it might turn around, but then you actually need one right now, which is Lucio with the ball. A good interception here from Luke.

[01:22:26]semiinal number two. And don't forget, we have FC Pro live items that can get upgraded right here.

[01:22:34]On the one hand with PSV, we have Myron Buadu.

[01:22:41]He already got an upgrade because obviously he already went from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals, >> but hasn't reached the final yet.

[01:22:47]>> Yeah, he's still in this summer. There's the finesse.

[01:22:52]>> We teased it. He said that's what he could do.

[01:22:55]I tell you what, Luke's got away with that. It's a brilliant finish. There's a goal back. Is it the start of a comeback story?

[01:23:11]He needs a few more though. Brandon, this is not enough.

[01:23:20]The one thing that hasn't been his strongest part of his game this season though for Luke of PSV, he's actually scored less goals than he's conceded.

[01:23:31]33 goals he has scored this season.

[01:23:37]Conceded 39.

[01:23:40]>> I mean, when you concede all those goals in one game, then it doesn't really matter, does it?

[01:23:47]Now five goals down already.

[01:23:50]>> I'm just saying that because when you compare it to the likes of Chris Dbor who's already been in a final, he's already had the taste to be to the World Championships.

[01:23:57]>> For him, I feel like there's unfinished business there. He got himself the the dream move no doubt from Almar into Ajax. He's only 25 in game minutes away from another grand final. Yes, he's playing against a different player, not Gio Bundy this time playing against Enray, who might be even more frightening.

[01:24:19]I think what's more interesting there as well, he started the season with great momentum. He won qualifier one, he beat Emra Yas, he beat Dameshi on qualifier number two. That maybe his form dropped off slightly in qualifier three and four.

[01:24:31]>> Maybe that's also motivation, right? If you win the first two, you might take it a little bit slower and try to, let's say, find and puzzle a way to improve over the different updates that we had as well and patches in the game. So, for him, it might be like more of a training ground rather than let's go for the total dominance that we've seen previously. Obviously with uh AFC Ajax if you remember the times that we had uh Danny Hahabber but also Lafinken in the Ajax strips Ley Friedri Bob Fuden still missing a few people I think think Nickham did he even represent Ajax as well or only as a coach because he's back as a coach today Nick Ham as well Matteo No score now.

[01:25:23]Moment for a great last 15 minutes. It was there. The pass was there. Does get it back here. Ooh, wonderful. Now, >> there's the finesse and there is also Mickey Vanderven in the way.

[01:25:39]Making sure he's playing his part.

[01:25:42]He does have some opportunities though, but it's those semi opportunities. They are not really there.

[01:25:49]just has to decide a little bit quicker and thus pause now. 75th minute, three goals needed for PSV and he needs him as fast as possible because time is running against him.

[01:26:06]>> Vanderven goes to McTominay. Back to Vanderven and Chris can just calmly play this game out.

[01:26:23]He wants to go into that old deciding final. If you're on the opposite side of this though, Hakeim, you've seen a pause coming from PSV. You ain't stopping it, are you, anytime soon. You're happy just to let the ball stay in my possession.

[01:26:33]If you're going to get a pause, it's when I've scored my sixth goal of the game. It's quite frustrating as well as an opponent here when you are playing and you want to pause the game but the game continues for five to 10 minutes.

[01:26:47]You feel like you've lost that time in game unless unless he can score here.

[01:26:52]Matteo on the ball goes forward. There's the overlapping run.

[01:26:58]She can't find the option she's looking for. Instead finds Shel. That's great fe. I tell you what, in what's been an eight goal game, that might be one of the best we've seen.

[01:27:09]>> He has teased the shots so many times, didn't dare to go for it. And now found the back of the neck and it's once again a twogoal deficit, which means that we won't see Classen coming on. It's Bajjo for Ajax. I think we're looking at Kris screen.

[01:27:29]Zillinsky as well going off or coming on sorry very interesting here Brandon this is uh what we wanted we won another goal two goal deficit now still I think about 15 minutes in game we can see something let's also see if that goal has affected the decisions he was going to make in the pause >> it has to be right it has to give you a little bit more confidence going into those oh sorry last nine minutes for PSV two goals in 9 minutes we have seen it before we have seen I've even seen extra time where person was uh trailing by one and actually won the game so why not here once again Brandon >> Raneri coming on now one of the youngest players to actually ever play in the Premier League but now obviously >> playing out in the French league is Zilinski finesses that one in no way through.

[01:28:31]>> Two goals in five minutes.

[01:28:36]>> And then you cannot lose the ball that easily. So now once again, Ajax in the attack. Loses it to Surlet. And we all know how Slet is that super sub player.

[01:28:44]He can come off the bench and actually be a menace. Oh, there was a running.

[01:28:47]Mateo didn't dare to play it too soon.

[01:28:50]>> Has to score now. There's Soloff.

[01:28:52]There's the finesse off the post that goes in. And what could have been a really tough last three minutes for Christov, but the post may have just saved him. And that might be the difference between him going into the grand final or not.

[01:29:12]I I I I look, you had your opportunity there. It's Sur. I was saying he's a super sub, but he's the one missing it.

[01:29:21]And now Mateo finds again. Not over yet.

[01:29:24]Bellingham tries to get to Schweinsteiger but intercepted sorry by Schweinsteiger in one area he finds Hendrik and now Chris is going to play the clock added time to follow Emra Yas waits in the wings out mark against AFC or not Nikop scores but there's only a minute left he knows headset It's off.

[01:29:55]Might be too little too late here.

[01:30:03]>> He's really found his groove, hasn't he?

[01:30:04]But he's just left it too late. Like I said, he's like a young diesel. He needs to get into the groove to get it running.

[01:30:13]And it's sad for him that he didn't find that goal with SA that he found the post. But maybe Brandon, maybe maybe Chris will lose the ball straight away and we will see one last attack for PSV and see a possible equalizer.

[01:30:35]G with a kickoff. Let's see if he can keep it. He's already No, this is this is peak.

[01:30:41]>> He's not taking any risk, is he? He is taking zero risk. commiterations to PSV.

[01:30:47]Luke Wdevel will be going to the World Championship still with the spot that's been placed down from Enray, but these two will be in your grand final for the final time in this tournament's history.

[01:31:00]A Alkar taken on Ajax. I mean, look, teammates outside of club agreements, of course, esports teammates with the likes of Team Liquids, but this should be a great F. This is a rematch as well from qualifier number one. They played of course in the first final stages of qualifier one where Chris Bore booked his spot alongside Mray in this final.

[01:31:24]They did it really early. What looking back there? They did it in November these two players play. That's the last time they played in a competitive game that €2,000 on the line. This is a this is a bit of a different story, isn't it?

[01:31:35]Now it's all for the final left for the trophy. They will give it their all. And uh maybe more important as well, Brandon, both players are backed by an FC Pro item. We have on the one side one hand side, sorry, Lucas Rosa. Yeah.

[01:31:49]>> And on the other hand, we have uh the Alexander Penetra. And we have a a guest coming on.

[01:31:54]>> We have a special guest joining us now.

[01:31:55]I hope the mic is working for him. Um Max Kulamire joins us now.

[01:32:01]We we can't hear yet. Hopefully we can.

[01:32:04]Um but of course, in case you heard the news, Max Kamay did qualify for the E Champions League. just missed out on the World Championships. Um, we'll see if the mic's working, Max. I mean, first and foremost, how you feeling? You've come so close, of course, to to the World Championships. Just like so far off it. I mean, that's must be quite hard to take at this moment in time.

[01:32:22]>> Yeah, of course. The World Championship is always the goal, but >> Go ahead.

[01:32:27]>> His mic is working now.

[01:32:29]>> Oh, it is working.

[01:32:30]>> Your mic is working.

[01:32:31]>> Yeah.

[01:32:31]>> Yes, >> of course. Uh the World Cup is always the goal, but yeah, I still have faith in the LCQ of course and uh maybe plays then after and for now uh let's look forward to Manchester. He's in the champions, isn't he? He ke feeling disappointed, you know, naturally so that he's missed out on that that ticket. He still can get to the World Championships. It'll be a bit of a long way away for him, but still to be in the best 36 players in the E Champions League is pretty good, isn't it?

[01:33:00]>> It's already a great accomplishment, I'd say. And once again, you might lose out right now to Emry Ilmas in in the semi-final. Uh for you personally, is he the favorite to win it all?

[01:33:08]>> Yeah, of course. Emirates for me after Ander's the best player in the world.

[01:33:13]So, it's not a shame for me to lose against him. Of course, I'm sad, but yeah, is what it is.

[01:33:19]>> I mean, we'll look back at the game now.

[01:33:21]We got the highlights from that. We'll play it back whether it's good or not to do that, Max. But you went two-0 down early doors at this point. I'm thinking you've got an Mray Yas here that scored 11 goals without conceding in the finals. But then what changed here for you? What was your mindset? Cuz you went two down, but then you came back flying.

[01:33:37]>> Yeah, nothing. Because we play 80 minutes FIFA, so it's pretty pretty long. And uh I can always come back. I know this for myself. And uh I just kept in believing also with the coach. and uh I came on uh 3-2 but uh it didn't last long as you see here but uh it's okay.

[01:33:58]Just some context, how hard is it to play against Enraz? Because we say it before, you might catch an Emra once every 3 months that's sleeping on one day and he's not at his best, but you can't catch him in a 9 half game off sort of off the ball for too long. You might get him for 10 minutes in game, but he's just there and he's creating and creating and creating and creating and he just doesn't get phased by anything it feels like. Of course, it's very hard to play Emra, but everyone knows this already. And uh yeah, for me, if I play my best game, I can win if he plays not good, if he know play good.

[01:34:34]But yeah, Emra played really good and I think uh he's going to win the the final. My my thing with Imra when I watch him is that he has so many different opportunities like he can pass it, he can shoot, and you're trying to cover every single thing, but it's just not possible, right?

[01:34:50]>> No, it is. He has like trigger one, trigger two, trigger three. I can only stop one player running, >> but yeah, he's just sometimes undefendable and uh yeah, that's what it is. I think he's got buttons that we don't know about Emra Mass because he's he's al probably got more fingers that we don't know about as well because he's making multiple things happen in the game as you said speaking of the grand fin you just said there you expect Emra Mass to go and win. Um how do you think that it's going to go? Do you think it's going to be a blowout? Do you think Chris Bore is going to give him a good task? It's the first time they've played in a match like this since November I think in the first qualifier. So how do you see this one going? I think uh a lot of goals because we know from Chris as well he's he's scoring goals you know and Emra as well so I think maybe like 86 for Emirate >> 86 14 goals in it and just the word as well of course this is the the final year of the Dutch uh ed I mean obviously firstly disappointment no doubt um but how do you look back on I mean what this league that sort of gave you a real opportunity didn't it with Ajax and then you went of course and got your world championship spot through this league with Ajax. How disappointed are you that I guess it's the end of the road here, but also how grateful are you for the opportunities that that this league format has given you?

[01:36:04]>> Yeah, very grateful. Uh actually, I started at the FAM before Ajax, so that was kind of my breakout season here in Holland, but then uh of course I got like a lucky World Cup spot because >> I mean, don't complain about it. If I could get a World Cup sport cuz my teammates were that good, I'll take it.

[01:36:23]But I played good at the World Cup. So I think I proved to the world that maybe I belong there that year. But now uh I didn't qualify for the World Cup for the second time in a row. I'm pretty sad of this. But yeah, it's okay. And what happens next season?

[01:36:41]>> Yeah, good question.

[01:36:43]>> I know this season's not done yet, but in terms of for the players, like what's the conversations like with with with the players in the league in terms of where do we play next? Do we do we just go across to France because it's close or do we or do we go and play somewhere else? I mean like what what conversations have there been if any?

[01:36:58]>> I don't know. And for now I'm focused on this season. I want to make it as as good as as good as possible.

[01:37:04]>> Yeah.

[01:37:04]>> But uh after we look also with the with the management and I'm I'm sure they will give me a good club.

[01:37:13]>> Still plenty of opportunities left, right? You already qualify to the Champions League. So you will be there.

[01:37:17]You will feature there. And as you said already, you already teased but last chance qualifier as well in Saudi Arabia.

[01:37:22]>> Yeah, >> why not?

[01:37:23]>> Why not? I'm there.

[01:37:25]>> You're there. Nothing to lose. Nothing to lose. Max Kamaya, thank you so much for your time. Congratulations on an E Champions League and we'll see you in Manchester as we said for the group stages in uh in a few weeks time.

[01:37:37]Congratulations to Max there. Well, let's speak about SBC's for a second because obviously there were some FC Pro live items that were available for you at home to get involved in. And this was the uh these were the four items and we can confirm that two of them are in the final. Two of them had a plus two upgrade but there is a play style upgrade that is still up for grabs. So indeed we have the chaka chaka car sorry from twer who's not going to upgrade still remains 88. We have the Alexander Penetra from Emryil. So backing Emry Ilas who already had a plus two upgrade.

[01:38:06]It's going to be 90 rated but can get that third play style plus. And then we have the Lucas Rosa from IFC uh who's going to be backed by uh Chris Deur obviously already got that plus two upgrade in the final as well. So get that can get that third uh play style plus as well. And then we have the Badu who who got the plus two 90 rated as well but will not feature any more upgrades. Yeah, let us know in the chat right now. We can see of course on YouTube and Twitch wherever you're watching from. What SBC have you gone for? Also, what play style would you be hoping that is uh is added on as a base play style to the uh the winners SBC item? This is a common occurrence which has been taking place with all the FC Pro uh leagues that have been taking place in the buildup to the E Champions League. We are so close to the E Champions League as well, aren't we here, Keem? There is just a few leagues left. Of course, the E Sria in terms of the major leagues that are left, but there's still quite a few, I guess, minor leagues that are taking place with when it's being crowned. We had the the Portuguese league at the weekend. I think the the Georgian league that took place last week as well. So slowly but surely we are getting those 36 players locked in, aren't we?

[01:39:10]>> I did see the Kazak League as well that that finished up and maybe a small just correction league as well.

[01:39:16]>> True. Maybe a small correction from my side it was a play style base play style and another play style plus just to make sure because people are already losing their minds in the chat.

[01:39:23]>> I think it was a base play style as well. I wish it was a play style plus. I think the last time we saw those kind of upgrades when the FC Pro open champion of Anders Verang. Well, look, this has been a uh an incredible tour. Remember, we still got our grand final around the corner. A Alchemar taking on Ajax for our grand final this season. But if you haven't kept up with the Dutch Capito, you've missed what's happened across the nine previous seasons. Here's some of our favorite parts and moments building in to our last game here as we end an era of of Dutch esports.

[01:39:55]starts for football gamers.

[01:40:00]Game football.

[01:40:12]Do it on your way.

[01:40:27]is what the sign of glitch is.

[01:40:42]What is it?

[01:41:00]Oh, what a long is Gio Bundy is Nos.

[01:41:25]Come on, let's go.

[01:41:37]>> And there we have it. I mean, look, such a special last eight season. We got goosebumps here, haven't we, in commentary of what a uh I mean, you look back at just the different generations of players, don't you? The different finals, the reactions, the passion, and and how many special moments we've had in this league.

[01:41:54]This is the end, Brandon, the final chapter of the Capian EDV. Nine seasons in, we had different champions, whether it was AX, we saw Vit, we saw all types of of teams winning it. Whether it's the big teams that are investing a lot or the smaller teams that had a very talented player but uh this is where it all comes down to. We have Az in the finals and it's going to be a thriller that I can assure hopefully it will live up to the expectation. Matt Kamayo just said to us there he expects maybe an 86 game towards Emra. That'll be 14 goals for our last and final grand final here in the capen ed for the final time as well. Chat let us know who you think is going to win this one. Will it be Mray Yaz? You wouldn't believe that he's not won this title before. It's a nice story there, isn't there? Chris Dbor, he's been in a final of four and lost last season. Emra Yaz, he was in a final the year before that, losing of course to Levy Devid and Pa Zin. There is some unfinished business between the two of them. These are their teams that they've locked in coming into this final matchup. 11 million coin budget was the uh the draft requirement. And of course, you don't only have to use Dutch Erd players. You can use basically anyone you want in the game as long as it fits within the budget. And up top, Mctomin, Vitinia, those were like the main players. And then of course with Co Palmer, um he was quite important in that last semi-final as well. Um defensively, Maldini, he's the only player that used Maldini in this in this whole final, let's say top eight tournament, Emra, which is quite interesting, but it did work out for him pretty well.

[01:43:25]>> Yeah, it did indeed. I mean, look, the importance I think there and Mctominina needs to be studied as well. They've been incredible of getting forward and making things happen on the opposite side there. As we said, he might have Maldini in his backline, but he has got Mickey Van Deven. Hakeim, wonderful card. I think I've seen people use that card so many times and whenever I play against him, I uh actually uh have to change uh my pants sometimes even because he's just a menace in defense.

[01:43:54]Also, the the partnership with Mctomin and Vitinia pretty similar. And then instead of Cole Palmer, he will play with Arbanguler. He's he had he had some big performance, didn't he in the Champions League. Can he have some big performances here in the uh Ed on the virtual pitch? I mean, they're both very good teams, aren't they? I like the little differences in there. Team of the year, bronze on the uh the side of Chris Dboran, David Class, as you said. Will he come on his 77 rated gold item? I doubt he will. If he does, he might get probably a minute at least. I mean if if we look at the teams the main differences are that Emir is using Maldini instead of Fondvent. That's like a big uh difference. Emir is also using Ramirez instead of Schwinsteiger in this uh uh screen and Palmer comes on instead of Guler. So it's only four players that are different in the squad which means that they have a very let's say balanced squad. They have a similar playing style. So I'm just looking forward to see the goals fly in from left to right and keep going. That's what I like to see. a lot of goals and a lot of celebrations because they were quite calm in that semi-final.

[01:44:56]>> Who's got the better team as well? Let us know how you said. There's only four differences between the uh the two squads there. It's basically the same frame and will be the same frame across most of the teams. As we said, they last played in November. They played in the first qualifier where Chris and Emry both booked their spot to this final eight. They did it all the way back in November in the first tournament. So, other than that, they were just getting back for more practice, more prize money. And look, looking back on that final as well, I'm just looking at here and how the result did end up between the two sides. Five goals to four. There was nine goals in that one and he only just got past them. Ray Maz may be interesting. I saw somebody asking us Brandon is End Fantasy a good card. He hasn't really watched of the previous games, I assume.

[01:45:37]>> He's brilliant, isn't he? He's been absolutely superb that Enric. He's just so fast in the play styles that he's got >> finesse plus.

[01:45:46]I mean, he can't he can drop into a little bit of a false nine there, can't he? And play the through balls to the wingers and play those all important through balls.

[01:45:52]>> That's what interest what is interesting with Vitinia doing an overlap almost on the attack like we're doing on the left back and the right back. Uh they also do that overlaps. So quite interesting to see indeed that he can deliver that pass in behind and Vitinia can just finesse it. We've seen that a little keta finess straight away. Shall we bring our players out?

[01:46:10]>> Why not?

[01:46:11]>> Let's do it for our final time here. The cap and ed. It's time to bring out our finalists for our grand final here as they're coming on to main stage for the final time tonight. Here we go then.

[01:46:21]We're jumping into it. I'm hearing we see busy stent even in and there is Chris Debur with Nick Ham. Nick also has tons of experiences already as a player but will also have that experience as a coach for Ajax. And Emil already did the walk on with Colin also an ex player.

[01:46:40]So, it's quite interesting to see both coaches, both coaches are actually ex players of the league. Uh, but neither have won it. So, >> yeah, it's a good story, isn't it, of uh of two players that can add I mean, look, you had Gronigan, Nick Darm, didn't he have some good moments with Gronigan? We saw that in the the recap, didn't we? Him against Danny Hackerberg probably recap what he said in the uh in the clip, but he had some red time finishes that went into the back of the net. So, he I think he had the last laugh in that one.

[01:47:05]>> Indeed, indeed, indeed. It was quite a a big thing uh back then. But also Nick then moved away obviously from Romanan.

[01:47:12]He became a coach as well for Ajax.

[01:47:13]>> He went very close with PA for a long time, didn't he?

[01:47:16]>> Exactly. So he did win the EDV as a coach, but never as a player. Same goes for Colin. He used to play for Feyen as well. Did a great job actually there.

[01:47:24]Actually managed also to to to perform in some LAN events. And I remember going with him in Saudi Arabia for the last chance qualifier. I was with him there on site and I have to say uh besides Emry, he might be he might be the funniest Dutch person that I that I've met. But Emry is just takes a crown. We already had him here on the stage between the casters. I think it was two years ago. Had a little interview with Emir as well. And uh the guy is just uh he's a funny guy.

[01:47:54]So for the final time we are looking at these teams before we're jumping into our final game. There was just a few shots of the uh the stage there. It is a packed crowd. It's a really nice setup here, of course, we are inside the ESPN studios just right next You couldn't believe how close we are, by the way, to the uh the Amsterdam Arena of Ajax. This is like next door to it. I think we're about like a twominute walk away from the the home of Ajax, which if they go and win it, they could probably go pitch lift the trophy if they wanted to.

[01:48:21]>> Exactly. If we I mean if we go through that door there Brandon we might even touch the stadium >> with with generally that close to we are waiting to get this game underway. We're hearing they're just having a few issues setting up the uh the game as soon as it is ready. We will get you there. If we can see the bracket one more time to recap you sorry of how these two players have got this far in the competition.

[01:48:41]This is the run they've had and what a first result it was of the day in the quarterfinals. A 9 win for Mray Yas against Brent of FC20. Yes, he scored eight in the second game, but it wasn't a real reflection on how that first half went, especially from two up to three goals to two down. He really did challenge Emrail as did Max Kamay on the other side as well for Chris the ball. A different route to uh to the grand final. Was a bit harder for Chris to get that first game going against Goher Eagles of Resende. It went all the way to 3-2. There was a small moment where we all thought it was going to go to penalties, but it didn't. Then obviously he went on against Bphase Luke. Uh and that game also it felt like he was in control. He was dominant. He went up 5-1. But then Luke came back little by little by little. And I think that's an important one. He cannot he cannot allow Emir to come back into the game. If he takes a 5-1 lead against Emir, you cannot allow Emir to score three again because you will get punished.

[01:49:40]>> As I said, he will just keep on coming at you only. He will not stop. The two-time E Champions League winner. As we said final time tonight as well, there are play style upgrades that could be on the way. A base play style to the champion here today. I mean, look, it would certainly make those items just that little bit better, wouldn't it?

[01:49:58]Yeah, we have uh Alexander Benetra and once again, he he already has the anticipated plus in the intercept plus.

[01:50:05]So, it might be interesting to have a bruiser like the the normal play style.

[01:50:09]And on the other hand, we do see that um Rosa also already has some interesting play style pluses. So, a normal play style as maybe uh we'll see in a second it will come up because those are quite nice nice stats. Don't forget they already get a plus two upgrade as well.

[01:50:24]So, add that on top of that.

[01:50:26]>> It's a shame the the two players that are in the the final in terms of the SBCs aren't attackers. That's my uh my only my only question.

[01:50:33]>> And we cannot always get attackers, Brandon. Sometimes >> we did have attackers. They just didn't go I mean, look, there's one there. He didn't go all the way to the grand final, did he?

[01:50:39]>> Indeed. But uh we already have so many attackers from the different leagues.

[01:50:43]Let's get us some defenders as well. You can make a full FC Pro item team. Maybe even that would be quite interesting.

[01:50:48]That's something I want to see.

[01:50:50]>> Someone can definitely do that. By the way, there's been enough there's been enough FC Pro SBC's and league live items that you could probably build a team. Maybe just not the goalkeeper.

[01:50:59]>> I don't think anyone's been given a goalkeeper pro. I mean, chat, has there been an FC Pro League live goalkeeper? I don't think there has. Right. Are we loading in to our grand final here?

[01:51:07]That's shots of the studio here.

[01:51:12]We can we can actually see some of the old faces again that played in the EDV.

[01:51:15]I don't know if you recognize some of them, Brandon, but uh I've seen if I'm not mistaken, there was uh um Mox um forgot his name, last name, but he used to play for one of the more darker sites as well in the EDV. Not the not the big spotlights. Um I saw also an ex player if I'm not mistaken from PSV with Dennis Vuven. Uh might have spot Bob Fonudin as well. So, uh, quite some interesting names. Also, so Danny Visser right now.

[01:51:44]So, like I said, >> protocaster.

[01:51:47]>> Exactly. He's also doing great with his content already. So, uh, I mean, not as great as you, but he's doing a great job.

[01:51:54]>> You're too kind. You're too kind. Well, we've heard the news. We are hopefully jumping into this live right now if we can. The game is teeing up for the final time today. This is your grand final coming up. who will be crowned Dutch champion for the final time here to round out the ninth season of the Capen EV. Let's just hope it delivers and gives us a great final. As we said, it's a full house in the arena. The foot accountant just confirms no goalkeepers.

[01:52:19]So, who knows for the next events we might get a goalkeeper if Anders goes for example with Ko. Why not?

[01:52:28]We are loading in.

[01:52:35]All right, the final final game. You can see Max is focused.

[01:52:40]Nickton Hammer behind him. Embraas with Colin in front of him.

[01:52:50]Well, I think they're just trying to sort the game code out by the looks of it from what we can see. We thought they're in the game. They're not yet.

[01:52:54]We're trying to get them in the uh to send the game code to send it across.

[01:52:57]But back to what you said there about the goalkeeper FC Pro items, I think to be fair to uh to the team working behind the scenes. I don't think you really want a goalkeeper, do you? But for the community that that are building into the SBC, he's known for the upgrades.

[01:53:09]>> Get like a wonderful Jean Butch goalkeeper from Ko with Anders might get some upgrades. Who knows?

[01:53:15]>> I was hoping it could have been um is it with I'm just thinking if they made it to the the final eight with UT >> I can't pronounce it that well. almost >> Kevin Gadella >> Gadella the goalkeeper the tall one >> six foot 11 goalkeeper imagine if he got a uh an FC pro league lives SBC it'd be a serious upgrade >> subc has some nice comments for us take your time you're 34 minutes away don't worry there could be extra time sorry there's no extra time here which makes it even more interesting it go straight to penalties if it is to be a draw here we are waiting for the game code to be sent for our final time today it is AC Alchemar against Ajax Esports are we loading in >> to our grand final here.

[01:53:54]>> I can feel it. We are loading in.

[01:53:56]Brandon, my small toe is saying that we're loading into the game.

[01:54:02]>> I can hear the game sound.

[01:54:15]Celebrations are there. It means that we're loading into the stadium and that they are ready to go. Here we go.

[01:54:22]your final.

[01:54:25]The best two clubs in the Netherlands and the best two players on form and as much as they've had both an incredible last couple of seasons. Oh wow, in seconds will lead this capita de grand final just as he did in the quarterfinal, the semifinal and now the final. But as I was saying for these two players that have had such a good career, they've both been to world championships.

[01:55:01]They've both won titles. That one trophy they haven't won is this one here. here and something tells them that Emra is on a mission to go and get it.

[01:55:11]>> Emry is doing Emry Ilma's things. Enrich finesse outside of the box. XG of 0.01.

[01:55:20]Quite interesting. But with Enrich, everything is possible. You can hit those finesses. You can win those games if you continue scoring these. And Chris Deur first attack immediately concedes but now needs to show that he can come back.

[01:55:37]Guerreras on the attack gets Mctomin with Vetinia and Enrich on the other side tries to do the same thing but Maldini with a great interception. This might be the big difference Nicki Vikans sorry against Maldini. The difference between those two.

[01:55:51]>> Tell you what, it might be in for another run race now. Brilliant ball over the top. Scott Mctomin to the up in five minutes.

[01:56:13]This is quite hard for Chris. Goes down quickly.

[01:56:18]Nothing he can do. Scott Mctomin once again low driven shot and just cannot get there.

[01:56:24]>> He just got the right side of the defender there. They didn't really matter who it was. Just the body type and the the frame of Scott McTominay.

[01:56:37]>> Two-0 already. Two attacks, two goals.

[01:56:40]GZ needs to answer.

[01:56:44]Needs to score otherwise Emra might be running off here with the win.

[01:56:54]Scott McTominay gets it to Guerreras.

[01:56:59]gets it to Endri. Enrich to Schweinsteager. Now there might be a run once again. End can get that ball. End.

[01:57:04]Oh, what a save by Won.

[01:57:08]Corner played on the fleet down on the half volley which is then hoofed long by Ramirez.

[01:57:19]People are asking how close is to the screen.

[01:57:22]>> He's almost in the screen.

[01:57:25]currently not working but it might later on. Let's see how Emir can go forward with Vinina getting to Sh and back to Ramirez. He's searching for that little gap right here with Indri once again.

[01:57:41]Tomminina just about does enough or does he? Ball just keeps on bouncing back to Al Marin 3-0.

[01:57:51]This is Emra Yumas's grand final.

[01:57:58]That is magnificent.

[01:58:05]3-0 already.

[01:58:07]As if it's nothing in the grand final in the final final of the cap and edzy vitinia inside of the box. You cannot give him that space. You cannot let him have that finesse right there. You know, >> I think the hard part in that, Hakee, is that the ball was just bounced back to Emro, didn't it? It was like he was a magnet.

[01:58:25]>> I think these these are uh these are Chris, his mother and brother, >> his parents watching on the sidelines, his uh his mother and brother.

[01:58:40]>> He already told me his mom would be there. And I think when she saw herself on the screen, she was like, "Not now, not now.

[01:58:46]>> Not the time. Not the time.

[01:58:51]Chris, it can't be heartbreak again, can it? Two years in a row. He's playing against his former club. It's an interesting story, Christo. He made the grand final last year with the Ed of Ezy. He was up against Gio Bundy who went a one. He's now back in a grand final again, but this time representing Alex playing against his former club.

[01:59:10]Not four. Should have been four.

[01:59:15]And as you said, he's losing against his former club. made that big switch to Ajax has nicked Hammer behind him but it's just not clicking for him as well. I don't think he's in that game. He needs to get his head in. Second pause already in the game trying to figure out what he can do, what he can change to hopefully find a goal back because right now with 3-0 down even before Halime against Emiras, honestly this is getting t this is getting harder and harder.

[01:59:45]maybe somebody else that we saw in the in in the stands. I don't know if you can see him right behind here. It's Dennis Ferhuven all the way at the back.

[01:59:52]And next time we see I think it's Kuiman also ex player for Venlo um and PSV obviously who won a trophy. So we can spot some EDVZ royalty. I say the Hall of Fame you could argue are all in town here tonight in Amsterdam. We also saw Kun Wayans but now back to reality. Emmerick in the box twisting find the back line.

[02:00:18]>> Four down isn't it? I mean if we have to look back on the chance of how's he not scored that Hakeim he got a fivestar week for need to fall back on it. It wasn't on his trusty left foot but still finesse plus play style. How's he not put that in and made it four goal to nil? I >> think you have to watch here. It was quite good defending from Verven. He he positions himself perfectly, but he has to watch out here because he tried to go into the attack. Lost a few or at least had the possibility to lose the ball a few times. Just did enough there.

[02:00:48]And now Schweinsteiger, but a great interception again from Ramirez and is just Emmett is just eating away from that clock. 20th minute and already 3-0 up. He doesn't need to go forward, but he will continue anyways. It's Embryas K Palmer gets it back to bronze and just look at the triangles he's making. Foutinia once again great opportunity here with Ramirez but a good interception.

[02:01:17]Corner play Mctomin on the volley.

[02:01:24]This is Embra's night >> by the looks of it.

[02:01:31]It's um's trophy.

[02:01:34]>> Makes it for already. A nice corner with the player lock as we've seen in multiple tournaments already. And then it bounces back to Mctomin. And if you give Mosas this opportunity to score inside of the box, you will regret it.

[02:01:48]4-nil already in the final of this Scapian EDVZ season.

[02:02:02]Brandon, you can almost already smell that uh added play style or base play style on the penetra cards, right?

[02:02:14]Close to it.

[02:02:22]Crisis just doesn't find his groove like we've seen.

[02:02:24]>> I just don't think Emraas is human.

[02:02:26]>> It's just not possible how he's human.

[02:02:30]What a save here doing.

[02:02:34]>> Zero reaction though. He's just looks so locked here on that left hand side of the screen.

[02:02:45]Indri is trying to find his way through but right now he has to watch out because a lot of spaces are left now.

[02:02:51]Palmer can get it into again.

[02:02:53]>> Oh, again he's getting all the angles offside.

[02:02:59]It won't count, but he's not far off a fifth goal, is he?

[02:03:03]>> I think we're closer to a 10-0 lead than a 5-5 at this point.

[02:03:09]If we're being critical, we could have been seven up at this point.

[02:03:16]Arula trying to unlock the defense of Emry and potentially the start of a comeback.

[02:03:27]This is the grand final if you have just tuned in. Akmar against Ajax >> Ramirez. Look at how calm Emir is playing that ball and how much Chris is dragging out those defenders.

[02:03:41]>> The runs that are being made as well.

[02:03:44]>> It's what we said with Max here earlier, right? The runs that Embra has. He can plays it to the left hand side to Gill and he can plays it to right to to Palm.

[02:03:53]And it's Enrich on the ball. And once again, space opens up. If he doesn't use those runners, there's still a player left to play that ball into. And it will just continue opening up spaces. And if you lose the ball this far, you will be in trouble.

[02:04:13]And this is the grand final. Brennan Patinho Mctomin.

[02:04:24]Well, look at who. This is the final match of the Capanzi in terms of the history of this league.

[02:04:34]He's trying to make us a final to remember and maybe the biggest score line that we've ever seen.

[02:04:41]He's 5-0 up and we're not even at the 35th minute of this game yet.

[02:04:50]We saw Emir go 9-0 against in the quarterfinal where he actually stopped playing.

[02:04:59]We'll have to see if he can pull something out of the hat. if Nick and Chris can find something to get uh ever a little to put him a little bit more in in in any troubles because uh right now it looks like he's in poor position to get that uh win on his name.

[02:05:23]I mean chat we can see you on YouTube and Twitch. Where do you see this one ended in terms of a score line at least?

[02:05:28]I mean mentally the biggest part of this which is so hard with the numbers watching this and friends and family in the room of how you pick yourself up at a 5-nil score line. When does it turn Hakee from being right I'm going to try and go for this game compared to I just want to keep this score line down.

[02:05:45]>> Honestly I don't think in a final you can ever say let's keep this score line down. I think you always have to go all in and at a certain point even if it's 15 nil you still continue trying to score that one goal.

[02:05:58]You have to find the little things you can celebrate.

[02:06:03]And that's good in Chris's play. He still tries to attack. He still tries to find that spaces now with Vitiniah. But look, he he always has like one, maybe two options. Whereas with Emra attacks, he actually has like two, three, four options. Once again, he has a runner right here. He controls Enrich. Get that pass to Palmer. Now Enrich in the middle again, waiting for that ball. Doesn't go there.

[02:06:23]>> Gets it to Vitinia. No, >> Vitinho. Six.

[02:06:29]6.

[02:06:34]This point watching the AFC or tennis that certainly would be game.

[02:06:45]This might be it. Yeah.

[02:06:51]And just for the people at home, Emir did play already against uh Chris multiple times throughout the year and like uh Brandon already mentioned earlier, there was a final of the first qualifier and the final of that qualifier was then Ajax against Azit. So this matchup was the same match for the final of qualifier one and there Chris did win that game.

[02:07:19]He won 5-4 against Emra, but now he will need a massive massive massive second half to try and get a few goals in and maybe get it going. But I just feel like Em is unplayable. He's just running at you. He's just getting his players into position and maybe here finally some space for Christo.

[02:07:40]>> There goes McDommin. One goal and now we finally can go to the family and actually see them celebrate a small goal.

[02:07:48]Regardless of the result that Chris finds himself in, no doubt his family there watching will be so proud of him.

[02:07:53]He's made it to another world championship. He's qualified for another E Champions League. But shown, as we said, the best 32 players in the world can even achieve that. But just the world of Mray Yads for a second Dory. I mean, all the eyes were on Anders Varang often in terms of him winning this and winning that and the fantastic player that he is. But who's he been beating in those finals? FC Pro open final. He beat Mray Yas. Euro final. He beat Emra Yulas. Feels like he's sort of second in the line at the moment.

[02:08:21]>> I mean, this might be the year where he wins it all. Starting with his domestic league, then running into the E Champions League, going for the third, and then let's see if he can make it also into the World Championships. Brandon, because the big prizes are still up for grabs, right? He didn't win the FCA Pro, FC Pro, but there were still so many different trophies to be won. And he can do what Manu has done, right?

[02:08:52]He can still go and win FC Pro. But look here, Palmer Enrich finds that goal 7-1.

[02:08:58]He just even has time to play around. He does a little player lock, goes left, right, finds that space onto the right hand side, and he can even have a little laugh with his coach Colin. A slight smile there from Emraas. A grimace as he finds himself se one up at Halime.

[02:09:14]By the way, I've seen fulltime results that were more, let's say, balanced than this one.

[02:09:25]7-1 at Halime only.

[02:09:28]A massive mountain for Chris to climb.

[02:09:39]You can see the side like of how how can I turn this around? What can I do against him? And if my lip reading is correct, I would say like Chris was saying to to his coach to to Nick like what can I do? Like I can't do anything.

[02:09:54]I can't do anything about it. You may have saw the bracket there. That's not the fulltime result by the way. It's only halfime in this game. I think you know to give Chris the Bore a little bit of leeway here. I think mentally at this point he sort of checked out the game to a degree. I think the score line wherever this ends as is not going to be a fair reflection. I know we've got nine and a halfs and there's a long time left to be played. I don't see Emra conceding six goals. It's a suffers work. It's like it's like fighting against something that is already destined for you. 71 at halftime. You know you have to come back six goal against Emir. But how can you do that? He's a player and honestly on his day he's unplayable. You cannot do anything about what Emir is doing. sending three players left, right, in the middle, and then you have to watch out that you not concede at the same time. So, you have to score so many times and not concede against Emir, it's almost impossible. The story of Emra is pretty bonkers, by the way. Before he signed with Team Hullet, now of course, Team Liquid apparently with Scowish just being an online seasons player. He played online seasons and in his first year, it's a great time from Andrew. Is that a goal back? It is. tidy finish at the near post from Crystal Ball.

[02:10:57]In his first season, he made the top four in the World Championships. I still remember talking to Emir back then and he was just a quiet kid. He didn't dare to speak up and then he just kept growing and the more results he kept getting, the more he opened up and actually dared to speak up and make some jokes, have some laughs. So he felt like this very quiet and like nice guy and he turned into one of the best in the world.

[02:11:24]>> This is his fifth season competing. He's 21 years old and after tonight he would have won over $650,000 in prize money >> in five seasons. That is still going to continue. By the way, he's going to the World Championships. He could go and win the Champions League again.

[02:11:41]>> I mean the best thing he ever did was move from online seasons to Ultimate.

[02:11:45]>> I think that changes career mode. Is it career mode?

[02:11:48]>> I think he was playing career mode. I still know that he sometimes in the offseason still plays career modes just for some fun and banters.

[02:11:56]>> Yeah. What a story.

[02:12:01]For people asking, they need five more goals. I think it's six. I think it's six. Offside trap play. There was always a risk, but it wouldn't work out.

[02:12:14]People in the chat were already saying we five more goals in extra time. NPK is dreaming a bit here. Now it's going to be six goals and there is no extra time after the game. We go straight into penalties if Chris manages to to score six. This off side trap just too late.

[02:12:30]No perfect execution and it's Fitinho once again scoring against Jiguam.

[02:12:38]It's a tough one for Chris to ball this.

[02:12:40]He's done such a good job of getting to the final. It just hasn't been a final performance from him, has it? I mean, you look across the rest of the season from him, the dominance he had out of the the first two qualifiers.

[02:13:01]I mean, depending on where they were in the bracket, I mean, are we expecting the mass to get to another E Champions League grand final? Maybe Anders Ven could be in the way. I mean, that's the trophy that Anders hasn't got yet. in the Champions League >> and Emirates just won his third he won his third trophy. Why not go for that?

[02:13:17]>> And also he hasn't won an E serial yet.

[02:13:19]He could go and do that next week. He's in action in Italy. Anders, everyone's been asking where he's playing this season. Not in Germany this year.

[02:13:26]Playing in Italy.

[02:13:30]And Palmer.

[02:13:34]We have Vegan Hope who's asking, "Please commentators, make the stream last 45 more minutes, please."

[02:13:41]Quite specific timing. That is >> I wonder why.

[02:13:47]>> There goes another pass. Good interception from Yakob Ramon. It's that intercept plus.

[02:13:54]And you can just see the way Emir is playing. It's A2 and he's still trying to attack. He's still trying to be dominant in this game.

[02:14:07]goes through to Enrich. Enrich on the left hand side. Five star skill moves as well. It helps so much in attack. You find those extra elasticos. Those croetas work a little bit better than a fourstar. And it's it's just that small differences that we see between those players that can make the difference.

[02:14:23]But now Ardu got intercepted again.

[02:14:30]Chris is just at a point. He just needs to look like what else can I do to beat him?

[02:14:36]>> Someone in the chat there saying Emraman's run up at the FC Pro run up at the Euros should be the winner of the ED tonight.

[02:14:46]Is this his season?

[02:14:48]>> With still so many trophies to be left and titles to be decided. I don't know if he if he will be able to do it, but it's definitely on the table. It might be a what can we say? It's not a quadruple anymore. or it will be even five trophies.

[02:15:07]Yakob Ramon gives it to bronze and now back in the attack for Chris Devour 60 third minutes and he needs six goals.

[02:15:19]Someone in the chat rightly spotting out as well. They are teammates aren't they outside of this. I mean, there'll be there'll be bigger props here of how the esports World Cup works and the club championship points.

[02:15:30]Outside of the football club representation and ecosystem, there is obviously extra bonuses that can be won.

[02:15:39]Tell you what, they they've placed quite well. Team Liquid.

[02:15:44]>> Also, people asking if DH Texas is in this one. I don't think Texas is playing in this one. He played well. X is not but he is on his way to an E Champions League though >> cuz he played in the E Premier League obviously >> final 25 minutes here >> late for leads if I'm not mistaken >> just missed out on the uh the world championships >> yeah with the menace of Banano and it's always difficult I think to get to get a few spots in there but >> especially in the form that they're in aren't they Three times they've won it in a row.

[02:16:24]Embraas looking for goal number nine.

[02:16:26]Scott Mctominina.

[02:16:30]He's on his way to double digits.

[02:16:36]And I'm looking through the archives right here of of grand finals in the Dutch ed. We've never seen a score line like this, have we?

[02:16:45]I think the most goals we saw in a game was Danny Vitzer against Brian Hessing.

[02:16:48]Seven goals in one match.

[02:16:54]>> 11 in one game here.

[02:16:59]Incredible stuff from Emiras. He just shows how much he's grown in the last couple of times.

[02:17:08]So just maybe to round it up, Brandon Emir qualified for the World Championships via the FC Pro. So he didn't need that spot right now. He doesn't want to qualify for the E Champions League, which he did. Chris Dur already qualified for the uh World Championship because he won his semi-final.

[02:17:26]And then obviously Luke um also qualifies because he was higher in the consistency ranking than uh Max of FC Volum. So those are the world championship spots done. Then E Champions League is pretty simple. It's all semi-finalist. So we have once again Em Luke and Max.

[02:17:44]>> Yeah, just to make that clear as we said it's Emry Yaz that already was at the World Championships from the FC Pro Open. His spot goes down to the next best consistent player in the final four. That wasn't Max Kulam. That was Luke of PSV Christo also earning the spot for making it to the grand final final of the capen ed. The top four players though are all on their way to the E Champions League for the group stage at least. The top eight will be of course going to Hungary.

[02:18:20]Someone in the chat they said what's my favorite type of cheese? Fun fact, I don't like cheese.

[02:18:25]And we'll leave it there.

[02:18:27]>> For me, honestly, uh couldn't care less.

[02:18:30]Not a big cheese fan.

[02:18:32]>> I'm glad we we agree on something.

[02:18:35]>> 15 minutes left. There are acts of a pause. I'm not sure what that would honestly change in the nicest way. Maybe give me a little burata. That would actually go in a little burata. Some Do you know the burata cheese? The one that they put like on a big salad kind of round.

[02:18:50]>> As soon as I hear the word, no thank you. clear. Uh we have got a pause here.

[02:18:56]If you are of course watching on the Dutch stream, they are all miked up.

[02:18:59]It's one thing that I love about this league compared to maybe some of the other leagues where all the players are miked up. So you hear the good, the bad, the ugly. You hear the conversations between the the coach and the player. I think at this point, of course, Chris knows he's very much game over and also looking at the fact that he's playing against Emra who's just in ridiculous form this season. the fact that he's at the same level of player that he is from Euros back in December.

[02:19:25]>> He can make it 10-1 here.

[02:19:27]>> Hang on. Surely not.

[02:19:28]>> Outside of the foot shell shaw.

[02:19:34]He's clever. He's cheeky. And it's temp for Ray.

[02:19:40]>> I mean, it's funny seeing Nick after that after that free kick. He's the one who did it to Danny back in the days, the red timed one. You could see that right here. He also conceded a free kick.

[02:19:54]It was quite good because most people they expect that there Shadow would go for the outside shot. We did as well.

[02:20:00]And I think EMT just cued it. If the pass wouldn't be possible, he would just go for the shot and then he see the pass and yeah, he has to laugh. He has life.

[02:20:08]He's like actually I might have expected that one like Yeah, >> I think I'll be honest, he sold me as well. I was just expecting a direct shot.

[02:20:17]Actually, somebody just said it. It was Gambitial. He just said another party in Alamar. They just won the cup and now the Grafe and now they get another trophy in Alamar.

[02:20:33]Those asking as well when will the next action be live on the FC Pro or the EFC channels I should be saying. It is the East Syria on the 30th of April and the 1st of May. And then we quickly switch from Italy to Brazil where we'll see the combo limited live for the weekend of May 2nd and May 3rd and after that all eyes will be on the E Champions League. Suazatal Kumar can celebrate Kup and an EDVZ champion and they they can't take this away from them anymore because this is the last edition. So they will remain forever and em will remain forever. The current between brackets ed champion.

[02:21:22]Agio tries to flick that around his fellow countryman of Buon.

[02:21:36]Emmer is actually trying to play the clock now. didn't expect this from him.

[02:21:40]Thought he was going to continue. He's he's having a laugh. They're both having a laugh. They know already what's happening. And I think this was a little thing with his coach as well. They're like looking at each other like, you see what I do?

[02:21:53]>> He's got a rare smile on his face then, Ray Maz. It's a trophy that he's been wanting for some time. As much as he has been a a top top player, one of the best in the world, he's never been a Dutch champion.

[02:22:04]Now he will be an official Dutch champion. It'll be in the Hall of Fame.

[02:22:09]It'll be in the history books of this historical competition in the Netherlands.

[02:22:16]The final part of the puzzle, the final champion.

[02:22:20]He almost had another one there. Good defending from Venderin.

[02:22:28]Fagen Hope is waiting for the YouTube shorts with the Emirate Tactics.

[02:22:34]You might have to ask Brandon for that one.

[02:22:37]>> You ask you deliver.

[02:22:38]>> I asked Yilas where his custom tactics are.

[02:22:42]>> I'm standing next to the Gap and EDC champion Emilas and I asked what his custom tactics are. Finesse. Great save.

[02:22:53]They already can't wait. By the way, the World Championships are looking so stat.

[02:22:56]Nicholas is already there. I might have to come over. Brandon Anders already there. Of course, Emra Yuma. So many of the top five names.

[02:23:08]>> I still remember being there when uh was it again Young did a little sue celebration against Anders.

[02:23:13]>> Yeah. And then what happened at the E Champions League? Anders let Young know about. He didn't forget about it, did he?

[02:23:19]>> Exactly.

[02:23:20]>> Well, add in time of three minutes.

[02:23:23]>> Three games in a row now.

[02:23:24]>> Handshake again.

[02:23:27]And there it is, the final moment.

[02:23:31]And the final part of the puzzle of the Capen Dezy Mray Yilmaz will be your champion for this year. What a moment for him. As much as he's been an E Champions League winner, he's always been crowned and spoken about as one of the best in the world.

[02:23:50]But this is his moment now. Colin is standing there. He's a little proud. He knows what will happen. Emir already has >> his trophy ready.

[02:24:04]>> Your ed champion.

[02:24:10]>> Not just an Champions League winner.

[02:24:12]Now, finally a Dutch winner. A Alchemar are your capier champions.

[02:24:24]And for the final time in Dutch history, Mr. Dory, >> that is the last time that trophy will be raised here in Amsterdam. And I'll tell you what, >> it was a final was it in terms of goal score at least.

[02:24:42]>> I'm listening to the interview and I will give you a live translation. He said, "I had a lot of stress, but I know what I can do." And actually this quarter final was quite good. In the semi-final, I just played my to my level and the final as well. and he's very proud of himself.

[02:25:07]I wanted to win the the EDC and he said this is the best way to do it. I couldn't do it.

[02:25:23]So he continues talking and he just says like uh working with Colin is actually great pleasure. He says, "Uh, we made it into the FC pro final. We lost it. So, we just wanted to win something." That's when we came here and actually they bring on the coach as well, Colin Deus, ex-player of Fen as we already said. And it's bossy that you can always expect something from him, the interviewer. And he's just asking him how does it feel and how are you feeling about this trophy and how is it to be the coach of Emra?

[02:25:55]Right.

[02:26:09]So he continues to talk about the tactics in like we just look at what Emra can do where he's better than an opponent and in the end he saw that Chris wasn't playing to his level and he was leaving out some stuff that he usually does and that's where Emra actually took action and and made sure that he could win this trophy.

[02:26:30]>> There we have it. Great to hear from the champion there and of course his coach Colin Dekas who will be with him no doubt alongside the E Champions League and the FC Pro world championships. In case you missed the grand final, we have got the highlights for you. I mean it's quite a long highlight package I think cuz there was I think 11 goals in the or sorry 12 goals in the grand final. But when you're in a grand final like this and your opponent starts as Enra Yas did, where on earth do you start Hakee?

[02:26:55]How on earth do you put together in your mind some sort of comeback?

[02:27:00]>> If it's 13 minutes and you're already 3-0 down, then you have to consider like this wasn't my game. I was never a game to start with here. Once again gets that ball. Mctomin three goals already has a hattick before the 25th minute and he just continues scoring. Another Mctomin goal gets it to Palmer. Nice little let's say run around in the box. Vitinia with a finish. So it was both Pitiniah and Mctomin scoring quite a bit of goals and um Kabura did come back but before Halime it was already 71 and you cannot come back from that Brandon so hard to come back from that.

[02:27:37]Six goals down it was a halime and as much as Chris Debor tried to come up with a plan he was aggressive there on the offside. This is a really clever free kick we saw as well from Ray Yman.

[02:27:47]It sold me it sold you and it sold all of us here. But look, what a moment for Mray Yas. As much as he has kind of skipped the process of winning a league and he went straight to the top four, straight to the World Championships, he hasn't missed the World Championship since he's been involved back in 2022.

[02:28:02]His fifth year competing and he's already made it to another championship again. I mean, for him, this was a special tournament. And what a way to end it as we I guess we close out a uh a big part of Dutch esports history really. I think we've seen like I said beautiful uh winners already people that came through the cap and edzy they were smaller names they didn't really have an international name so to say but I think a lot of people in the international scene are also looking at the cap and ed are like who are the next talents coming from the Netherlands and obviously with the with the with the likes of team vullet back in the days and now with liquid we can see that those talents are being picked up they are being trained and get even better get the right coaches next to them to try and perform at the at the at the international stage and at the best tournaments there are.

[02:28:47]So in the end I personally saw it as like a talent factory. This is a talent factory. It always has been for me and uh we've always seen names come true whether it was Danny Hahabuk even Danny Visser we had Ley Frederick Ley D. Uh you had Manuel Bach obviously two times world champion you have Embryas with a two times E Champions League winner. So talent is here. Talent was here I have to say and I think that's like the best summer from those last nine seasons we had.

[02:29:16]>> I think talent has always been here but it's in the last few years is really started to go forward. Look Man Bashoué a two-time world champion. Emra Yman a two-time E Champions League winner.

[02:29:24]These are winners in the last couple of seasons isn't it? So as we said as a door closes here in the Netherlands with the cap. The question mark goes where will these players go next? They've got to play the AFC somewhere. for the final time. Let's have a look at the SBCs and our final upgrades. As we said, a plus to upgrade is guaranteed on the items of PSV and a Alkar. There will be a base play style upgrade on the way for that Portuguese center back, but the question is what will that be? All will be revealed in due course of course when it is released and it is upgraded in the game. And uh I I guess look if he did it, fair play to you. You uh you chose the right player. I mean, if you had to if you had to pick one and you have to bet on one of four, I think Embry Lumas was a was a fair pick for you. Embryos as your go-to to win this tournament. I think it was a fair bet to do. But uh we saw that the first game against Brent 9 stop playing because at the 8th minutes, then we saw the semi-finals once again stopped playing uh the opponents. And now in the final even then even though it was two minutes the opponent just stopped playing because he's just that good. And somebody said it if Emir is scoring that many times what can you do to stop him? You just got to try and outscore him somehow and only a handful of players can do that. One of them of course the line of Anders Var gang but that is the end the end of an era the end of an incredible tournament across nine years. The Dutch Capen Edis will not be returning next season. It is a hard moment of course for these players, but I want to say a massive thank you personally from Hakee and myself, Brandon, for all the hospitality, all the opportunities that we've had in this Dutch league. I mean, any final words from you as we uh we close the chapter here.

[02:31:06]>> As you said, you said it perfectly. It's uh it's always been a warm welcome here.

[02:31:10]We always came back here to to to enjoy and see talents at work and we saw some champions. We saw some winners and uh yeah, that was basically it for nine seasons. And I I'll just give you this.

[02:31:22]I hope it comes back later.

[02:31:24]>> Maybe one day. Maybe one day the the famous Dutch Ed will return. But that is it from here in Amsterdam. Emry Yomomas is your champion with the biggest score line we've ever seen in a grand final here in the Netherlands. He is finally a Dutch champion. Azmar are your champions for this season. And that is it for the Cap and I vis from myself, Baron Smith, and Hakee known as Mr. Dory. That is it from Amsterdam. Thank you to all of you that watched of course on YouTube and Twitch on the EA Sports FC channels.

[02:31:48]We'll be back next week in Italy for the E Syria. But until next time, it's good night from us and a massive well done once again to Enray Mas who will lift the trophy for the final time here in the Netherlands. Good night from us.

[02:32:00]We'll see you all very soon.
