“Looking forward to the League Series Two at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Dallas on Sunday. Leading up to the event I have been preparing by playing other top100 players. I hoping things click Sunday and I have a better performance. During eMLS League Series one I learned how different the gameplay is and I incorporated that into my gameplay. I feel good about the second series and getting more points for the eMLS Cup”.
RatedHugo was selected to join Atlanta United following a number of standout performances in various FIFA tournaments in the city. He first hit the club’s radar after reaching the finals and the semifinals in the two qualifiers for the eMLS All-Star Challenge held in Atlanta prior to the 2018 All-Star Game. Hugo solidified his spot as Atlanta’s first esports competitor with a strong showing during MLS’s FIFA 19 launch event in Atlanta in September, which provided a scouting opportunity for Atlanta United to find its first eMLS representative. RatedHugo recently represented Atlanta United at the eMLS Coca Cola Invitational versus Portland Timbers RctidThiago during MLS Cup, coming out on top in a best out of 3 competition to raise Atlanta United’s first ever gaming trophy.
