Red Bull Strijders 2021 – FIFA 21 Format
The tournament will feature two separate qualifiers which are set to play on two different dates. Both qualifiers will feature the same exact format. 64 players are randomly placed into a double-elimination bracket where each game is a best of 1. The finals on the other hand will be played in a best of 3 format where the upper bracket player will have a 1 series point advantage.
The top 4 players from each qualifier will head on to the final stage. The Finals will consist of a single-elimination bracket played over two legs at GMR’s studio.
Important to bear in mind that the players themselves are responsible for inputting their own match scores on the GMR website, along with proof of the results once the match has concluded.
Prize
Red Bull and GMR have dedicated a huge amount of €700 for the Red Bull Strijders FIFA 21 event. The local FIFA community is one of the strongest communities locally, meaning that this amount of prizepool is perfect. This is how the prize will be distributed:
- 1st – €500
- 2nd – €200

Predictions
The Red Bull Strijders FIFA 21 tournament will feature some of the best FIFA talents on the island. In recent events we’ve seen players like Owen Galea, Turbuleense, and IsaacKyleGrima come out as one of the top players, and will definitely be the guys to look out for during the tournament. We might also see some BOV ePremier League stars like ChristianSpiteri or Brandsha take part. With FIFA events on halt for the time being, this is a perfect opportunity for a Cinderella story by an up and coming local talent!
