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.

Full time. 4-1.
At the end of the first leg, it's hard to imagine Nicolas turning this around – MoAuba is absolutely running rings around him. Of course, msdossary was in a similar (though less bad) position in the Xbox final. But there's a much bigger gap here, both in terms of the score and the gap between the quality of the two players.
MoAuba smashes the ball past Nicolas's goal. Could easily have been a fifth.
Nicolas is still looking very relaxed here, both in his manner and in his play. But now is probably not the time for relaxing, when you're three goals down and going into the second leg...

1-0 in this leg and 4-2 on aggregate. Is now the time that favourite Nicolas turns this around?
Nicolas trying some very nice looking stuff here, and he's finally giving himself some opportunities. MoAuba isn't keeping him quite so locked up anymore, and it's possible to se where those chances come from.
MoAuba scores. 5-2 on aggregate.
That came very much out of the blue. Nicolas seemed to be finding his flow and MoAuba was letting him do it. But a goal came on the counter-attack and here we are.
Half time. 5-2 on aggregate.
MoAuba is just six short minutes from going through to the grand final.
It doesn't look, from those first three halves, like this could turn around. But Nicolas doesn't seem to have given up.
Goal. nicolas99fc scores. 5-3 on aggregate.
A very messy, ugly goal there – a load of confusion in front of the keeper leads to a goal for Nicolas.
