Sporting Kansas City midfielder Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal has carved out a following of sorts in the eSports world, especially with the the 2020 MLS season suspended.
Now, his skills will be put to the test Sunday night when facing Minnesota United goalkeeper Tyler Miller in the eMLS Tournament Special. While FIFA 20 will be the game of choice when their matchup is broadcast on FS1 and FOX Deportes, Kuzain's roots lie elsewhere. He used to be an avid Pro Evolution Soccer player, back when it was known as Winning Eleven.
“One day my brother just brought it back home,” Kuzain recalled in a conference call Tuesday.
