  • Determined to fight through to the Madden Bowl finals, Joke is one of three players this year to make every EA Major event. Seeing he’s the 3-time defending Cleveland Browns Club Champion and this will be his 11th EA Major Appearance of his career – Joke will be hungry for the final MCS belt.

  • Young Kiv has been one of the most dominant players on the MCS circuit for 4 years straight.
