The duo will be joined in the eChampions League by OL eSports players Dylo and Leks for finishing as runners-up. The total prize money for this year’s eLigue 1 was a whopping €60,000.

This is the fourth consecutive eLigue 1 title that Fouma has won, cementing his place as the best in France. With the drama seen throughout the season, we come to the conclusion that the eLigue 1 has some of the top players right now of all the top FC Pro leagues.

More Still To Come

There has been plenty of action on the esports scene in the past few days as all the remaining major leagues crowned their champions, from eSerie A to WOW Virtual Bundesliga to E-League to LaLiga. But there is still more to come before the season ends.

All eyes will now be shifting to the eChampions League which will start next month as all the top leagues now have representatives. This year’s eChampions League will have more participants and will be a one-month tourney.
