In its place, KONAMI will be holding a new, online tournament called the eFootball.Pro Cup.


The eFootball.Pro Cup retains the same CO-OP 3v3 format, with the online in-game settings mirroring those of the eFootball.Pro League. The new competition has a total prize pool of €250,000 that will be awarded to teams and players depending on their performance (including MVP and Best Goal prizes).
