The all new eCity Boys team got off to the best possible start in the FIFA eMFL 2022 league, when we thrashed both Penang and S Pahang in the opening matches of Match Day 1 on Tuesday night.
The team assembled by Kuala Lumpur City in partnership with Team Haq, for the FIFA eMFL 2022, a professional electronic sports (eSports) league organised by the Malaysian Football League (MFL), began the night with Draco edging his Penangite Lucy, 3-1 before Ismir turned it up for us, showing no mercy in the 5-0 annihilation of Aregogo.
A short break before the next match failed to dampen the destructive momentum of our two combatants, who carried on from where they left off earlier, with S Pahang shown no mercy at all, as Draco gathered inspiration from his teammate’s performance to hammer his opponent, Mofatah 5-1. It was followed by Ismir, who just could not stop scoring, and again hit five as he did in the earlier game, winning 5-2 against Izzat.
What a smashing way to introduce the City Boys’ arrival in the eSports scene by the our dynamic duo Draco and Ismir!
Here’s what they had to say :
Draco, the Nivea Man FIFA 21 champion : “Alhamdulillah. It is a very good start. This will boost and motivate us for the next matches. However, the league is long. Is(mir) and I will have to keep our focus and not be too comfortable as it may backfire.”
Ismir : “Alhamdulillah. Good way to start out journey in eMFL. I’m satisfied with my performance and I hope I can keep up the momentum for the next match.”
Up next for the electrifying boys of the city, is Match Day 2 on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 where they go against Kelantan Utd in the early kick-off’ at 10pm (2200hrs) before the midnight rendezvous with Johor DT (0000hrs). Both matches will be aired live on FIFA eMFL 2022’s Facebook page.
On their next challenge, our dynamic duo had this to share with us.
Draco : “against Kelantan U dan Johor DT, surely we want maximum points for each match. I’ve often met them previously (Johor DT’s Akmaljhd & Luqmanhzq, and Kelantan Utd’s Taz & Warrior), so I’ll use the experience gained to trounce them.”
Ismir : “These two teams they’ve been around, they’re not new. I am familiar with them. And I’ll use it that experience I have to get full points. I trust the tactics and tips from head coach Amtuah in my preparation.
Good luck for Match Day 2 to our eCity Boys, Faid “Draco” Said and Iskandar “Ismir” Mirza!
