EA has revealed which esports organisations will have their colours represented in-game for FIFA 21 as it continues to grow its efforts to promote the competitive scene.
With the addition of esports team kits in FIFA 19, to last year's stadium tifos featuring pro players such as Donovan 'Tekkz' Hunt, to FIFA 21's Global Series viewership rewards system, the esports scene is now being pushed more and more in-game in an attempt to attract new eyes to tournaments. While FIFA's lineup of kits regularly include esports juggernauts like Complexity and Team Vitality, they also feature FIFA-centric organisations like FUTWIZ, giving them vital exposure among football crazy fans.
"This is our third year and the program as a whole has grown massively to the point where they've embraced us having our own partners and sponsors on our kits," FUTWIZ CEO Dan Bellis, one of Network N's partners, explains. "We've got Elgato on our kits now, and that's something EA have been really great at bringing in.
