eFootball's Ambitions
The tournament's success underscores Konami and FIFA's ambition to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, the question remains whether this high-profile, extravagant event will appeal to the average gamer. History shows that large-scale organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to challenges.
