After competing in the European scene for several years, Jafonso took his talents to the U.S. where he delivered a spectacular performance for the New England Revolution, winning the eMLS Cup. His victory was nearly flawless, scoring 18 goals and conceding only three, with his standout moment coming with a 6-0 demolition of K1John in the eMLS Cup.

Despite a lengthy layoff between competitions, Jafonso maintained his momentum in the FC Pro World Championship. Although he lost his first match to Virgil, Jafonso fought back in the Loser Bracket, defeating isopowerr and FC Pro Open champion PHzin to secure a spot in the Knockout Stage.

Wins over Maxkoelemanjj and K1John—for a second time this season—carried him to the semi-finals. Though he eventually lost to finalist Yuval, Jafonso showed his resilience by coming back from a 2-1 deficit to win 4-2 against K1John.

His success in both those competitions meant that he came into the Esports World Cup with plenty of momentum. Luckily for him, he was able to turn that momentum into a career-defining win, lifting the Esports World Cup with a 6-2 win over Young.

Now he has the chance to add the FC Pro Open title to his trophy cabinet and further stake his claim as the best EA SPORTS player in the world.
