Alongside the trophy and bragging rights, the winner will also take home a $250,000 (£210,000) grand prize.
The tournament takes place over three days at the O2 in London, from 2-4 August, with 16 of the players on Playstation and 16 on Xbox. The best of each stream will meet in the final, for a two-legged match to decide the world champion.
Those taking part are the best of the best when it comes to Fifa, meaning any of the players has a legitimate chance of taking home the winner’s trophy.

This had looked to be an incredible upset. But the undefeated Msdossary looks set to keep that status, to take it 3-2 on aggregate.
20 minutes left for Msdossary to be just one more match away from making history.
GOAL. Msdossary scores to make it 4-2 overall.
There's just 10 minutes left for Rafsou to try and get this back.
Rafsou is doing as much as he can here. But it doesn't seem to be enough.
GOAL. RAFSOU SCORES. It's now 4-3 to Msdossary overall.
There's only half a minute left in the game. But could Rafsou bring it back?
Rafsou doesn't look very confident that he can bring this back. But of course anything can happen...
FULL TIME. Msdossary wins.
He's through to the final.
What a final it has been, though. This could easily have gone the other way – and he didn't lose so much as finally relenting to Msdossary's unparalleled confidence.
