Danish eSportsman Anders Weirgang made history in the FC (formerly FIFA) soccer simulation series by becoming the first player to break the $1 million mark in career prize money. The historic achievement was recorded after another success at the prestigious FC Pro Open tournament.

Weirgang, who represents the Saudi organization Falcons Esports, won the FC Pro Open for the second year in a row, one of the most important tournaments of the season in the professional FC scene. It was this title that allowed him to achieve a record amount of prize money and consolidate his status as one of the most successful players in the history of the discipline.

The stability of the results of the 20-year-old Dane at this tournament is also impressive. In the last three FC Pro Open events, he reached the finals each time: silver medalist in FC 24, champion in FC 25 and champion in FC 26. Weirgang thus made three finals in a row with two wins and one loss.

Another final of the FC Pro Open, in which Anders Weirgang met Emre Yilmaz from Team Liquid, is already being called one of the biggest in the history of the tournament. The Dane’s achievement only increased the debate about his status as the best player in the history of professional e-soccer.
