The FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC) gets under way in New York City on Monday, and you can see it all across the Sky Sports platforms.
The tournament sees the world's 32 best FIFA gamers compete for the right to be called the FIWC world champion, but who should you keen an eye out for?
We got former FIWC vice champion David Bytheway to give us his players to watch…
"There's a few favourites this year," said Bytheway. "August Rosenmeier, who beat me in the 2014 Grand Final, is going to be there and a Swedish guy called Ivan Lapanje.
"He's a big name on the FIFA scene from the Virgin Gaming Challenge Series and I think one of those two will win it.
"August plays very fast and very controlled. What makes him so good is when he loses the ball, he wins it back so quickly. He presses very high and leaves you with no options, but he's not really a possession player.
"Ivan doesn't really have a distinct style of play, he's just very solid across the board. Most FIFA players are either very strong in defence and poor in attack, or the other way around. What makes these two so good is they are all-rounders.
"Then, you have the defending champion, Abdulaziz Alshehri from Saudi Arabia, but he's a very secretive player and keeps his cards close to his chest."
Much like the real World Cup, England have won the tournament just once, when Englishman Chris Bullard beat Hungarian opponent Gabor Mokos in 2005.
There will be plenty of home nation interest at this year's tournament too, with four players from England heading Stateside.
Dean Coombes, Demetri Anatasiou, Ty Walton and Oliver Chesses will be looking to go one better than Bytheway, who lost 3-1 to Danish player Rosenmeier in the 2014 Grand Final in Rio de Janeiro.
Bytheway fears a high-class field could have too much quality for the English players this year, but admits anything could happen on the big stage.
"They might want me to say they have a chance but I don't think they do! Obviously they all have the opportunity to win, and it comes down to how you play on the day," he added.
"But if you take out nerves and other external factors, and you go on pure ability, I don't think any of them have the chance to win it. Considering the nerves that people feel, though, anything could happen.
"The interesting thing is there's a few players that are well known on the pro scene, but this is their first time at FIWC. Every year debutants, even big pro names, come to the tournament and think it's just like any other.
"But they come to FIWC and get so nervous they end up bottling it. Last year there was a French player, and he was probably France's best competitor, and he got to FIWC and lost to two French colleagues that nine times out of 10 he would beat. He was that nervous and it could be the same this year.
"There's two very good German players, who could very easily win it on the day, but because it's their first tournament it will be interesting to see if they can handle the nerves."
The FIWC starts on Monday and you can watch the semi-finals and final live on Tuesday from 10pm on Sky Sports 1 HD and SkySports.com
