Who could know FIFA esports better than a pro soccer player? Mike-Steven Bähre, who started his professional career at Hannover 96 in 2015 and currently plays for the English club FC Barnsley, is founding his own esports organization, MBC eSports.
Today’s young soccer stars are almost as familiar with the virtual turf of the FIFA series as they are with the real pitch. This is also proven by the former Hannover 96 professional Mike-Steven Bähre , who founded his own esports organization together with a former teammate. Introducing MBC eSports .
MBC eSports – Mike Bähre founds his own team
At the age of 14, Mike Bähre , who was born in Garbsen in Lower Saxony, moved to the club in the state capital, Hannover 96. On the 16th matchday of 2015/16, he made his Bundesliga debut against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim before the young Germans went to traditional English club FC Barnsley devious.
Always by his side during his time at Hannover 96: teammate Can Tuna , who has become a close friend over the years. But Bähre and Tuna not only share a love of sport, but also a passion for the FIFA series from EA Sports.
Regular matches between two friends quickly became more and so the idea arose to enter the eSports stage in FIFA together – the idea for MBC eSports was born.
The conditions for a successful start could hardly be better. After all, the eSports organization has team owner and CEO Mike Bähre , a long-standing, passionate FIFA fan and a professional agency with eSports Reputation behind it.
MBC eSports is launched
In addition to Bähre as CEO, MBC eSports draws on the many years of experience of Can “ cankos ” Tuna, whose passion for the FIFA series ignited in his youth at Hannover 96.
Can, who has gradually moved closer to esports over time, has already enjoyed considerable success in FIFA. Most recently, he was on the road for FC St. Pauli in the Bundesliga Home Challenge , and he is now a regular guest with his club in FUT20 at the Elite 1 rank of the Weekend League.
Can Tuna will act as team captain at MBC eSports and, through his close friendship with Bähre, forms the link between management and players.
From Hanover, for Hanover, all over the world with MBC eSports
The unveiling of the MBC|eSports team is scheduled to take place this Friday from 6:00 p.m. in an extensive live stream. Then Mike Bähre, Can Tuna and other guests will not only unveil the FIFA 20 squad, but also compete against each other and the community in show matches.
Of course, there is also a lot to win for the viewers: there will be regular competitions as part of the almost three-hour stream on the team’s Twitch channel .
However, MBC eSports wants to be much more than “just” an esports organization. Mike Bähre and the team want to give something back to Hanover and the region , which is why the team is promoting regional young talent . At the same time, other national and international talents are to be promoted.
But that’s not all: there are also well-known content creators who report regularly from the world of FIFA 20. In addition to classic esports matches, weekend league gameplay, pack openings, tutorials, coaching streams and many other formats are planned.
In the live stream on June 5th, Mike and Can talk about MBC eSports plans, present the squad and coach and provide further information about the team. A FIFA 20 tournament with big wins is also set to start shortly after the team’s unveiling.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
