Chris Holly has won the first-ever eChampions League in Madrid.

The Beast was one of eight FIFA players from around the world to qualify for the competition and he stormed the quarterfinals, semifinals and final to secure the trophy and win $100,000.

Holly's long battle to the finals began early in the day when he faced off against Vitality Rafsou, a gamer from France. After trailing for much of the QF, Chris forced 30 more minutes with a last gasp equaliser in normal time before he took the last eight match-up late in overtime to make it to the semis.
