I’m excited to see who will be a nose ahead of the rest this year.” When the best FIWC players are in the same room it’s only a matter of time before they go head to head on the virtual pitch. Visitors to FIFA.com/FIWC can expect coverage of the four FIWC veterans participating in an informal mini-tournament to see who has the early lead on mastering FIFA 13! Meeting the makers In addition to testing the highly anticipated game, the champions will also spend some time in Vancouver with the FIFA 13 developers. Two-time champion Alfonso Ramos is especially looking forward to the opportunity. “Over the course of one season you spend so much unbelievably intensive time with a game and get to know all its tricks. Being able to sit down and talk with the people who created that game will be an indescribable feeling,” says Ramos. Jamie McKinlay, EA Sports Senior Global Marketing Director, is also looking forward to the champions’ visit. “It is going to be wonderful having four FIWC champions here at the same time.
