The fourth FUT Champions Cup is coming up this weekend. It's off to Paris - and Haching's e-athlete Ramazan Elmas is there! The 32 best FIFA players in the world compete on the Playstation. It starts on Friday at 1 p.m.
Bonjour Ramazan, arrived safely in Paris?
Elmas: Yes, everything went great. Now I'm happy that the tournament will start soon.
You qualified for the FUT Champions Cup for the second time. What kind of a feeling is this?
Elmas: That feels amazing! It's crazy that I managed to be there for the second time. I really want to compete with the best players in the world on the console.
In Bucharest you made it into the round of 16. What is your goal now
Elmas: Back then it was really blatant, nobody expected it - least of all myself (laughs). Of course I would love to reach the quarter-finals now, of course more would be great. But that becomes damn difficult when I look at the opponents. But I don't want to hide!
Who is your favorite?
Elmas: For me, this is Umut Gültekin from Hamburger SV on the Playstation. He is in great shape.
Is it something special for you to be able to measure yourself against the big ones or has it already become everyday life?
Elmas: I now play against well-known names more often. But it is a very different thing when you play against these very good opponents in an important tournament where there is a lot going on. This is really something special. The Haching eSports team has only been around for six months.
Would you have expected success so quickly?
Elmas: I think we have to pinch ourselves every now and then (laughs). None of us expected that it would happen so quickly - even if one hopes, of course. That makes the successes all the more beautiful for us!
