NEW YORK, New York -- Bernardo MrEstrino Polvo-Romero will be advancing to EA Sports FIFA 17 Ultimate Team Regional Finals next March after winning the first ever eCOPA Coca-Cola Finals on Saturday, taking home a $5,000 scholarship. These tournaments are part of a year of EA-hosted FIFA 17 competitions with a total prize pool of $1.3 million.The eCOPA event featured four finalists who had qualified among hundreds of collegiate gamers from 74 schools. MrEstrino defeated Cody Bowman in the semifinals; then, without dropping a game, the Arizona State pre-med sophomore completely dominated the finals against Florida Atlantic senior Arthur Crouse.Playing a high-dribble possession game, MrEstrino made it difficult for Crouse to even get the ball. Not only that, he used the entire field to his advantage. I spread the ball throughout the whole field. That opened up the game and helped me create a lot of changes, MrEstrino told ESPN.The first game actually went into overtime, and thats always been a pain point for MrEstrino. Well I get a little bit nervous, but you have to keep composure just so that you dont really lose focus of the game, he admitted.And just like in soccer, the pressure to prevent a penalty kick situation is there. Yeah, so its a little bit that and then you dont want to continue. So its like you want to attack but youve got to stay focused on your defense, said MrEstrino.MrEstrino eked out the first game, but the second game was very one-sided. Im using 4-1-2-1-2 [formation] because, I guess for me, its the most dominant formation just because I like creating [goals] from the middle, he said.Now that MrEstrino has confirmed his spot for the regional finals, the pressure is on. I played a couple of people in the top five in the past month, and I mean theyre beatable, but its just so hard to compete against them, he noted.Being 19 and a pre-med student means that that he can only dedicate so much time to FIFA. He confirmed, School comes first, I cant let that go. And then FIFA comes second.Dropping out of school to play FIFA full time doesnt seem like an option either: So far from what I know, theres only one North American player thats signed to an esports team, and that would be [Giuseppe] Guastella, said MrEstrino.Guastella signed with Versus Sports on Sept. 19 in a first-of-its-kind contract for the NA FIFA scene.But if MrEstrino does get signed, his priorities may drastically change. The future will tell, he said. Ecco Shoes Clearance Sale . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.

Weve picked out five standout performers from February, including Arsenal loanee Yaya Sanogo after his hat-trick for Charlton at the weekend and Liverpools Sergi Canos, who has earned positive reviews at Brentford.Agree with our selection or have we missed someone? Leave your comments below or tweet us @SkySportsFL to have your say... Conor McAleny (Wigan - on loan from Everton) Conor McAleny is on loan with Wigan from Everton After joining Wigan on loan from Everton at the start of February, the 23-year-old has not taken long to make an impact. He netted on his debut in a 2-0 win at Sheffield United and then struck a brilliant long-range effort to set Wigan on their way to victory at Walsall.I was a bit shocked myself when I saw it go in. To be honest, I thought it was going over, said McAleny. But it dipped at the last minute and its one of the best Ive scored in a while. I have hit a few like that, and hopefully I can keep on doing it. Scoring any goal is nice, but when theyre like that, its always something a bit better.Sergi Canos (Brentford - on loan from Liverpool) Brentfords Sergi Canos scored against Wolves Brentford might have been on the slide in the Championship over the last month, but Liverpool youngster Canos has continued to impress.He was particularly influential in the 3-0 win over Wolves, scoring a goal and then setting up another for John Swift. Brentford boss Dean Smith thinks he can be a future Premier League star.Hes got to become more consistent and work on that side of his game, but in terms of where he can go, his performances have been very good, said Smith.Sergi trains really hard. He wants to get better and theres a future Premier League star there, thats for sure.Yaya Sanogo (Charlton - on loan from Arsenal) Yaya Sanogo scored a hat-trick against Reading After a disappointing loan spell with Ajax in the first half of the season, Arsenal forward Sanogo was on the move again on Deadline Day as he joined Charlton.And it did not take him long to end his year-long wait for a competitive goal as he netted a hat-trick to help the Addicks come from 3-1 down to llevel at 3-3 against Reading.dddddddddddd Even though the Royals scored a late goal to snatch victory, Charlton boss Jose Riga was impressed with the 23-year-old.I knew the story of Sanogo and Im happy for him that he can show his value today, he said. Of course, you have to show you can do it for more than one game but Im happy.I saw immediately during the training sessions the quality he has. When you arrive from France early as he did, at 19 to 20, to a big team like Arsenal, its quite difficult. My discussion with him was he can come here and take what he can from this challenge. Gaston Ramirez (Middlesbrough - on loan from Southampton) Gaston Ramirez has joined Middlesbrough from Southampton The Uruguayan sealed a loan move to Middlesbrough in January after hardly featuring for Southampton in the first half of the season. He bagged his first goal and won a penalty in the 3-1 victory over Cardiff and Boro boss Aitor Karanka thinks he could use the loan spell as a stepping stone.Hes a hungry player, he said. You could think its a step back but for him, its a step forward because he wants to keep going and keep improving his career.Its good for me having a player like him come here and help us. Adam Armstrong (Coventry - on loan from Newcastle) Adam Armstrong has continued to impress for Coventry The goals have continued to flow for League Ones joint-top scorer as he took his tally for the season to 19 with a brace against Bury.The 19-year-old recently came up against former Newcastle forward Shola Ameobi, who believes he has a bright future at St James Park.If he keeps developing and keeps building, keeps putting in the work, then I think he can be a top player at Newcastle, said Ameobi, now at Fleetwood.Hes very driven, and you need to be if you want to make it at the top level in this game; you need to have that determination and hes got that in spades.Adams been one of Coventrys standout players this season, so hopefully he can build on that confidence, go back to Tyneside next season and get a place in the team, which I believe he is more than capable of doing.Hit the video at the top of this article to watch Februarys loan stars in action.
