The One Year Rise of Doolsta

Below is a feature from the March 23rd edition of Inside the Net.

When then 17-year-old Cormac Dooley saw a post on Philadelphia Union’s website stating that the winner of the club’s FIFA video game tournament would become its official esports representative, he didn’t assume he would blow away the field. He simply figured this was a good chance to put his skills to the test. Arriving at YSC Sports in Wayne, Pa., his goal was to advance out of his group. Just one year later, one of the biggest stars in eMLS has 2019 League Series 1 and 2 trophies in his cabinet, and he is well-known throughout the esports world by his gaming name: Doolsta.
