"Ra-fi-fa" was the name they chanted in Miami, following his triumph at the 2017 Season 1 Americas Regional Final. The crowd knew then that this guy was special. The Brazilian defeated his countryman Lucas “LucasRep98” Costa in that Miami grand final, securing his place at the Ultimate Team Championship Series Final in Berlin.
And now, Rafael "Rafifa13" Fortes has signed with Paris Saint-Germain eSports. The French giants liked what they saw in Miami, and Rafifa13 will wear the “Rouge et Bleu” when playing EA SPORTS FIFA on the biggest stages around the world.
"I would like to thank all those who support my career and contribute to FIFA's growth in the esports scene," Fortes told the club's official website in an interview shortly after he put ink to paper.
"This achievement is a great moment for me and for all South Americans and just a kickoff for a whole scenario of achievements of mine and all of us. Believe in your dreams and allez Paris!"
He joins a loaded Paris Saint-Germain FIFA roster, which already includes Denmark's August "Agge" Rosenmeier and France's Lucas "Daxe" Cuillerier.
Find out who will join Rafifa13 in Berlin when Season 2 of the 2017 Ultimate Team Championship Series kicks off in Vancouver on April 21, right here on FUTChampions.com.
