With the announcement of a provisional return to play date in the Championship and start date in League One, the United Soccer League today announced the completion of the tournament. This brings an end to the month-long competition which pitted a number of Championship and League One clubs against each other as national teams in a unique promotion and relegation style divisional bracket.
El Paso Locomotive FC finished 10th overall in the tournament with 375 points. The first week saw Locomotive FC fall in the opening round before earning promotion in the second week to secure 150. While the third week relegation lost the team 150 points, the second place Division B finish in Week 4 secured Locomotive FC the 375 points to finish. Midfielder Alexy Bosetti and eSports Manager Edwin Moreno combined for 27 goals while conceding only 20 throughout the competition.
“We are extremely grateful to the participating clubs for their drive and commitment to making the tournament a success,” said USL SVP of Digital, Emerging Technology & Strategy Lizzie Seedhouse. “Both versions of the eCup were new ventures for us and our teams and now we are collectively looking forward to shifting our excitement and focus back on the 2020 seasons in the Championship and League One.”
