“I think the eEURO is a unique tournament and it’s a big stage for PES players to show what they’re made of,” commented esports athlete Yos Sonneveld. “This tournament makes it possible to represent your own country and to be one of the players representing the Netherlands is truly special.”

Turkish competitor Erman Gökdemir is equally excited about representing Turkey: “I think this tournament is the biggest and most important tournament in the history of PES.”

“It’s a great level of competition, while the game brings together good players from many countries. The eEURO gives us the pride and happiness to represent our country,” added Gökdemir

After announcing the new Nintendo Switch OLED edition yesterday, a member of Nintendo’s marketing team has said that players should “stick with the current Switch” if they aren’t interested in the new screen.
