It's rare that you see a Seattle native sporting the colors of the Portland Timbers.
But that's precisely what happened on March 2 when Nick Mars, 22, represented the Portland Timbers in the MLS March to Soccer Challenge in New York City.
The event, a FIFA 17 tournament that was broadcast live on EA's Twitch channel, pitted eight FIFA gamers against one another in a highly competitive single-elimination competition that saw Mars dispatch each of his opponents in quick succession.
When Mars won, he held up his winner's plaque, a Timbers scarf hanging prominently around his neck.
