Former ePremier League champion Donovan 'Fnatic Tekkz' Hunt is through to the Xbox quarter-finals, with Liverpool's representative facing Manchester United in the last eight.
Tekkz beat Wolverhampton Wanderers' Sean 'Sean Flossy' Bleakley 5-3 before edging past Leicester City's Jacob 'FUTWIZ NKSNB' Benskin 4-3 to set up a mouthwatering meeting with Man Utd's Sean 'SAF Dragon' Allen.
Xbox quarter-finals
1. Olle "Ollelito" Arbin (LEE) v Tom 'ELVNS Stokes' Stokes (TOT)
2. Joseph 'Healy' Healy (ARS) v Sean 'Sean Flossy' Bleakley
3. Diogo 'FalconsDiogo' Mendes (CHE) v Jas "Jas1875" Singh (WBA)
4. Donovan 'Fnatic Tekkz' Hunt (LIV) v Sean 'SAF Dragon' Allen (MUN)
While Bleakley lost his opening match, he recovered to win his following games and qualify for the quarter-finals, despite being the lowest-ranked Xbox player in the Finals.
Indeed, the No 20 seed progressed in style, scoring 13 goals in victories over Southampton representative Joseph 'Royal Funky' Crown and Leicester's Benskin.
Top seed Olle "Ollelito" Arbin had few troubles as he breezed through for Leeds United, beating Manchester City's Ryan 'MCFC Ryan' Pessoa and West Bromwich Albion's Jas "Jas1875" Singh.
Giant-killing
There was high drama in the elimination match between Sheffield United's Spencer 'HUGE G0RILLA' Ealing and Allen.
No 15 seed Ealing came close to blowing a 5-1 lead from the first leg before securing a 6-5 victory to upset the No 2 seed.
Chelsea's Diogo 'FalconsDiogo' Mendes, currently ranked in Europe's top 25, also sealed a quarter-final spot following wins against Burnley's Jasper 'Burnley Ashy' Ashworth and Everton player Jayden 'NFG Jayden' Groden.
