Alex “Exraa” Gonzalez, Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s official eSports gamer, made a run to the semifinals in his first official eMLS competition Friday in Philadelphia.
After going 9W-2L-1D in the qualifying rounds of eMLS League Series One on Thursday, finishing second out of 25 gamers across the league, Exraa continued his hot streak on Friday with a 2-1 win over LAFC in the quarterfinals.
Exraa, the second youngest player in the competition at 18 years old, then fell on penalties to the eventual champion from FC Cincinnati in a wild semifinal.
