Demon reigns supreme at the eligue 1 tour

Masters of Mayhem FIFA gamer Eric Demon produced an assured performance at the eLigue1Tour Kenyan finals to emerge victorious and book himself a ticket to France where he shall represent Kenya at the Global eLigue1tour finals.

Demon, who came into the finals as the most experienced gamer, lived up to his billing demonstrating a combination of skill and experience to ease past his opponents.

He sent a message of intent in the Quarter Finals, proving too good for Camzy as he dispatched him 3-1 in a game that he dominated from start to finish played with his favored Angers SCO.

In the semis, he weathered the storm of a stiff challenge from teenage sensation Harry Kappa in a tense and closely contested match that ended 2-2 over two legs forcing a penalty shoot-out where Demon kept his composure to score all three in the process of saving all three to emerge with a 3-0 victory.

The final match, a best of three series also produced a great spectacle as Demon found a way around the stubborn Dennis Mbemba.

He won the first of the three ties 1-0 despite playing with a red card for a better part of the second half. 

In the second tie, Mbemba caused a scare after staging a two-goal comeback in a match that appeared to have been out of his reach when he was trailing 2-0 at half time, setting the arena into a frenzy.

It is in extra time that Demon made his experience count as he scored deep in the second half to win 3-2.

Demon shall now represent Kenya in Paris, France on May 13th 2023, where he shall face champions from other regions in a battle for the €8000 Euros prize money.
