SK's own FIFA pro is going to compete in the EA Sports $400.000 challenge this weekend in Las Vegas.

This weekend, one of the most important FIFA tourneys this year will take place in the capital city of fun and enjoyment: Las Vegas, Nevarda, US. Every FIFA player in the world had the chance to qualify for the EA Sports Challenge Series by Virgin Gaming and one of them was SK`s FIFA pro Bruce 'Spank' Grannec. Bruce, who recently extracted his contract with SK Gaming, will represent them in Las Vegas and fight for a prize pool of $400.000.

In January he had to play the semi-final of the qualification, where he had no problems to qualify himself for the Live Finals, which will take this evening. The event will start around 6 p.m. CET and will take around 6 hours to find the new FIFA champion. The current ESWC champion Bruce 'Spank' Grannec will go as one of the top favourites into this tournament, but it is a long way till he can fight for the $140.000, which he will get if he wins the grand-final. 256 FIFA players will compete in the Live Finals and so he has to take care of the well known favorites like "Dawid Krzyżanek", but also new players, who will give their best to become a professional FIFA player.
