Seventeen-year-old Omar Jaleel has secured the fifth spot in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final after winning a live qualifier event in his home town of Mumbai, India.
And he's only been playing the game for a month. Cheeky.
Knocking out last year's Indian FIWC champion, Sachith Reddy, on the way, Omar defeated runner-up Zahim Vishnu from Bangalore in an exciting final after they both fought their way past 250 other would-be FIFA stars.
The young newcomer took the honours on a day packed with atmosphere and cool activities. Check out a full report over at FIFA's official site HERE.
The next live qualifier event isn't scheduled until the New Year now, but there's no stopping the competition online.
Be sure to join in. Competition for 13 Grand Final places will continue unabated online until the Grand Final next spring.
Well done, Omar.
