“Peace” was the main motto of the Metropol Party on Friday, on March 4, which was dedicated to the “Hippies” culture. J However, the next Monday made the biggest opponents even from the best friends. Welcome to the ESN FIFA 16 Tournament.

Almost 30 Erasmus students applied to participate on the tournament on Monday on March 7. The meeting point was at 8pm in front of the Shopping Centre Centrál on the Trnavské mýto. The ESN team picked up the group to the Klubovňa Metod, a small agreeable pub in a quiet surrounding. Because it is hard to find for the first time, we had to be sure everybody will find the place where three X-Boxes were waiting for the participants.

The game rules have been set up on six minutes for one match, so two periods of three minutes. Participants have been divided into six groups, each by four Erasmus students. The competition was hard, even nobody knew what the “secret price” was. After the groups have been finished, eight best players qualified for the quarter-finals. Short after 11pm, we had four names which could qualify for the finals, or the match for 3rd place.

The finals were decided really fast and after 6 minutes, we had the winner of the competition, even both finalists were receiving the same price. But what was the most stressful – the fight for the 3rd place. The match finished in the full time in a draw, so it had to be extended. Another 3 minutes of playing, waiting for the winner. Both players were very good, everybody was expecting to continue to penalty shots. But suddenly, just few seconds before the end of the match, a gooooal!!! It is decided, we have the winner. :)

Congratulations to all three winners. Everyone has received as a price two cinema tickets for any movie in the CinemaCity. There was no time for a rest, because on Friday, there was the Vienna Palace Party.

Our winners:

1. Francesco
