Quaran-Team Tournament

**hibby rae** · 19-03-2020 09:53 AM

I believe Martin Boyle has stepped forward to represent Hibs in the Quaran-Team online FIFA tournament organised by Leyton Orient (although Rachael Boyle pointed out he can only play after he's put his daughter to bed

). The first round tie of Hibernian vs Millwall will take place this Sunday.

NB. The CCS will need to organise a virtual scrap through Street Fighter or Streets of Rage.

Sunday kick off? Fans first as usual.

**EdinMike** · 19-03-2020 10:45 AM

Absolutely be tuning into this ! And I haven’t properly played a FIFA game since France 98 on the Mega Drive I think ?!

I hope Martin is good at fifa as millwall have got some pro gamer in to represent them. Nothing like taking the fun out of it.....

streets of rage

aah the nostalgia 😁

**Orchard_Hibs** · 19-03-2020 11:44 AM

Is this being broadcast on YouTube?

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 19-03-2020 11:45 AM

Perhaps The Millwall Treatment will turn up with a virus cure!

**Pretty Boy** · 19-03-2020 11:47 AM

Hibs v Millwall. Could be tasty.

Boooooo

What a boring team to do that. The worst criticism I can aim at such a decision is to say that's exactly what I'd expect hearts to do.

I've seen a lot of people on Twitter complaining about this – given that it still seems to be in the stages of being put together, I guess there's a chance they'll change it, or at least handicap professionals with a weaker team or something.

(I don't want to know how much you'd need to weaken a team to give me a hope against a pro, if it's even possible…)

Hopefully they get a player to play. Would be more fun.

I used to play against some quite handy players years ago when online was relatively new (back when PES was the better game - talking 2006-08) - it was before you had "professionals" but some of these guys were ridiculous.

I'd have no doubts a pro would beat me with India if I was Barcelona.

I had been following this on Twitter from its conception and I honestly thought they were trying to get one Pro(player) and one fan from each team.
Things have obviously changed.

Should be trying to get a player from each club. Involving pros ruins it.

Listened to the guys at Orient who set this up on 5Live today, they’ve drawn Spartak Moscow who’ve lined up a top 64 player to represent them. Anything for a competitive advantage.

Commodore? 🤔

The first round of games starts at 7 pm tonight, but it's up to the individual clubs to arrange a time for each game so there's no official schedule.

Looks like Boyle will be playing on Monday at 12 noon: http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10594

Hibs also say they'll be streaming it.

**1875Sean** · 22-03-2020 09:57 PM

Boyle playing a youtuber, he will get hammered by a professional gamer, I thought the whole point of it was pro players playing each other

***cameronw-hfc*** · 23-03-2020 12:49 AM

Tbf the guy hes playing isnt a pro fifa player. Hes a youtuber that's played it and streamed it. Dont watch much fifa esports but I do know the guy isnt a competitive player, more someone who plays it and makes content. Clinging onto straws here in the hope of Boyle winning, with the lack of any sport I never thought I'd be so into a fifa tournament haha

Definitely not a pro player but hes not to bad at fifa so should be a tough game for Boyle.

***Carheenlea*** · 23-03-2020 06:28 AM

How many are Millwall bringing up?

It would be more interesting/fun if it was a Millwall player though. I imagine a lot of Millwall supporters would agree

**Hibee Mac** · 23-03-2020 08:16 AM

What's the point in having a youtuber do it? Thought the whole point was it was a way for us fitba fans to continue to get some kind of weekly fix from our club/players?

If I want to go on YouTube and watch some random streamer play FIFA I can (and won't)

***nonshinyfinish*** · 23-03-2020 08:59 AM

Looks like they did it properly in Spain: https://www.theguardian.com/football...iga-video-game

(Either that or Asensio schooled a load of esports pros…)
