Top 5 Players You Can’t Miss in Week 5 of EWC 2025
Week 5 of the 2025 Esports World Cup spotlights some of the most promising esports talents across EA SPORTS FC Pro, Rainbow Six Siege X, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Here are five players primed to dominate the action this week:
1. Anders Vejrgang – RBLZ Gaming, FC Pro World Championship
Currently the No. 1 ranked FC pro, Anders is the reigning FC Pro champion and continues to showcase consistent dominance across S-tier tournaments. Having finished seventh last year, he’s aiming to claim the $250K prize and rise to the top this week.
2. Emre Yilmaz – Team Liquid, FC Pro World Championship
Emre brought Anders’s 2025 unbeaten streak to an end—and built his own highlight reel. After a late 2024 slump, he surged back with a tournament win and top finishes at LaLiga FC Pro and the eChampions League, including a landmark victory over Vejrgang.
3. João “jafonsogv” Vasconcelos, Al-Nassr Esports Mkers, FC Pro World Championship
Remarkably, the 2024 EWC champion had an epic run from the Last Chance Qualifier to the trophy lift. He’s returned this year with momentum—and even has an award named after him. A back-to-back title would cement his legend.
4. Troy “Canadian” Jaroslawski, Shopify Rebellion, Rainbow 6 Siege X
Frequently mentioned among Siege’s all-time greats, Canadian has earned titles and finals appearances since 2017. His wealth of experience and clutch performance under pressure make him one to watch as Rainbow 6 debuts at EWC.
5. Andrew “Biffle” Diaz, Team Falcons, Warzone
