An avid -- and lucky -- gamer just walked away with a cash prize of Dh50,000 in the UAE. The award was given by Majid Al Futtaim for winning the Fifa Live event.
Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Deira and City Centre Mirdif hosted the online game in the GCC, EA Sports Fifa 17, live on PlayStation 4, exclusively during Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS).
Over the two-day final playoffs held at City Centre Mirdif, 511 games were played with Nasr Haddadin taking the grand cash prize of Dh50,000 home.
Over 3,000 participants played the game during DSS, each of them vying to take the top spot and win the grand cash prize in the 1vs1 game. The malls have hosted a staggering 1,800 Fifa Live games, totalling 20,000 minutes played!
The runner up in the 1vs1 competition won Dh15,000, while in the 2vs2 competitions 1st place took home Dh4,000 and 2nd place won Dh1,000.
Players battled it out to win some incredible prizes.
