VfB eSports pro Deni Mutic will battle 31 top rivals for the German championship in FIFA 23 at the VBL Grand Final in Cologne. The 30-year-old from Fellbach represents his favourite club, VfB Stuttgart, on one of the most important stages.

He trains up to six hours a day and plays 20 to 30 matches against other qualifiers to prepare at the highest level. Mutic is sometimes referred to as a "Fifa pensioner" (which annoys him) and has been playing at pro level for seven years.
