FIFA, the most popular football game in the world, offers great competition for professional players as well as normal players. In this context, many tournaments are organized in the game and prizes are distributed. One of the most prestigious events of FIFA, the FUT Champions Cup is known as a qualifying system that professionals from all over the world face to participate in the eWorld Cup. As FIFA players will know closely, FIFA 20 comes to the agenda with server problems from time to time. When this event, which became a common situation in normal times, occurred in the tournament on February 29, a rather absurd situation emerged. In the face of this problem while playing Stage 2, EA invited players to play stone / paper / scissors instead of postponing the tournament. Players who could not match each other in the qualifiers had to play stone / paper / scissors: “I cant believe! Since we couldn’t find each other on EA Licensed Qualifiers, we had to play stone / paper / scissors. No way! I’m absent any more.” The problem that occurred for the first time in a match between Shaun ‘Brandsha’ Galea and Hasan Eker continued throughout the weekend. In the Swiss qualifiers, the situation was 2-1, and both players had to win this match to move on to the next stage and stay on the last 16, but since the game’s servers were problematic, the pairing system was not working properly and the opponents could not send invitations to each other. In such a situation, many may think that the tournament will be delayed, but EA did not choose this method. Managers who wanted to postpone the tournament aside and speed up the qualifying stages, invited the two players to play stones / cards / scissors. As a matter of fact, the players also played this game to determine the winner and Hasan Eker managed to rise to the next round by eliminating his opponent. FIFA 20 servers have gone offline many times, including Stage 2 qualifiers last week. For the past four days, players have encountered this problem at least once a day. Not only normal FUT matches but also large-scale tournaments were affected by this problem.
