The eight FC Pro Open finalists have now been confirmed following the qualification of Levi de Weerd and Obrun on Monday evening.
Saturday's Finals (February 3) in London will see the pair joined by Vejrgang, AbuMakkah, PHzin, Young, Emre Yilmaz and Umut.

While Levi sailed through Group D with games to spare, things were not quite as straight-forward for Obrun.
Having held off a late surge from Tekkz, the Italian had to beat Fouma 4-3 in a final match decider to earn his place in the Finals.
"I'm super happy, because I think that going forward in this group was hard, I'm so proud of myself," Obrun said at the end of the evening.

Nevertheless, things don't exactly get easier for Obrun, as he faces reigning eCL champion Emre Yilmaz in the Quarter-finals. As he stated on Monday, the clash will be their first at a major competition.
Obrun added: "I think we [me and Emre Yilmaz] never faced each other in a LAN tournament. It will be a great match for the viewers!"
The other three Quarter-finals are similarly star-studded and difficult to predict. They are as follows:

While no clear favourite emerged from the FC Pro Open Group Stages, it's fair to say Vejrgang laid down a significant marker in Group C by remaining unbeaten.
Set to play against AbuMakkah, the Dane could meet his RBLZ Gaming teammate Umut in the Semi-finals. Should he win that, a Grand Final would await, which would present him with a chance to win his first individual S-Tirer competition.
German star Umut has the unenviable task of facing Levi de Weerd in the last eight. The Dutchman set a record for the fewest goals conceded in the Group Stages (18), and having already beaten Tekkz, Obrun and Fouma, he comes into Saturday's Finals as a serious contender.
The same can be said of Ajax player PHzin. At the end of Match Week 2, the Brazilian was regarded by many as the strongest player in the competition.

A relatively poor Match Week 6 may have dented that reputation somewhat, but he'll go into his Quarter-final match with AbuMakkah as a heavy favourite - having scored the most goals in the Group Stages.
As a two-time eNations Cup winner, PHzin certainly knows how to get over the line in major competitions.
The same can be said of his close friend, and Brazilian teammate Young, whose nerveless performance in his last game of Group C saw him qualify for the finals on goal difference alone.
Young has it all to do against Vejrgang in the Quarters, but he's already thrived as the underdog in this competition - and he might just do so again.

As a reminder, all games in the FC Pro Open Finals are 1v1 matches, with extra-time and penalties both returning to settle tied games after 90 minutes.
In addition, each of the eight players are now just one game away from securing qualification to the FC Pro World Championships, meaning they no longer have to rely upon domestic Leagues tournaments to qualify.
The Finals get underway this Saturday (February 3) at 4pm, and you can watch all the action on YouTube and Twitch.
