Yes, I think there is a bigger skill gap than last FIFA and the game feels a lot more realistic in my opinion. However, there are issues that need fixing still such as the shooting glitches. If these issues get fixed then I think we are in for a great year gameplay wise. Who would be your Icon of choice? Prime Gullit would be the perfect allround option.

We won an event with Dubzje last year and had one player at the FeWC Grand Finals in Honey Badger. I think we have a great roster this season and are constantly looking to improve and do better year by year. What differentiates you from the others who stream?
