Man City are the team to beat following sensational comeback against West Ham
Man City are now at the top of the market to be crowned the Ultimate Quaranteam Cup winners, with their odds cut into as short as 9/2.
This is due to 27% of all bets in the market being placed on City for the tournament over the last week.
Their representative Shellzz is currently ranked at 63rd on FIFA Global Series rankings and has battled his way into the third round of the tournament.
He beat West Ham’s player in a thriller on Wednesday night, winning 3-2 in a replay, coming from behind twice to eventually win it.
The immediate reaction following the game was that we may have just seen the tournament winner.
The victory laid down his credentials for the world to see and fans were quick to get their money down after what they saw.
Now in the last 32, Man City will face PSV this evening and it looks a relatively smooth passage to the semi-finals for Shellzz.
Shellzz was part of the first UNILAD FIFA eSports team alongside previous world champion Gorilla, before making his move to Man City eSports in the December of 2018.
He has won roughly around $100,000 in prize money since he joined the competitive scene in 2017.
This could be the biggest moment in his career so far; there is a real sense he is the one to beat and now looks the justified favourite.
Middlesbrough are the best price of 11/2 and now find themselves second in the market. Whilst Angers have looked a decent outfit and are now as short as 5/1, but are still available at 8/1.
Wolves have been quietly going about their business and at a best price of 25/1, could be the dark horses as we get down to the business end of the tournament.
