Getting his favorite player for Ultimate Team in EA FC 24 is sometimes not that easy, especially when he belongs to one of the rarest cards ever. A well-known streamer let this luxury cost him several million coins, but only seconds later, nothing was left of his very expensive purchase. He blamed it on his dog.
What is it about? The American streamer IshowSpeed has gained great fame and is even known in football circles for his enormous fan love for the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
For the Team-of-the-Year event, he even received a really strong card with heavy upgrades. After ‘Speed’ couldn’t pull him through various pack openings, the streamer gathered his courage and decided to buy his idol on the transfer market.
To welcome his favorite in a proper manner, he had a special guest on board during a livestream along with his community, who was to be honored in a special way. His dog was supposed to open the pack, which he did with the help of his owner. After the purchase was completed and the initial cheer over the absolute favorite player had subsided, however, came the big disillusionment.
As quickly as TOTY Ronaldo came, he left again
What happened? When IShowSpeed finalized the purchase, he joyfully celebrated with his dog. Unfortunately, he seemingly completely ignored his controller. Under the scream of the streamer, it can be seen how he pushes TOTY Ronaldo into the Quick-Sell column and confirms this action. Even afterwards, wildly more windows open.
Instead of having his hero in his ranks, he unintentionally sold him for a fraction of the purchase price without realizing it. At that time, the streamer was not only without a TOTY Ronaldo but also 13 million coins poorer.
After he had calmed down somewhat, he initially searched in vain for a TOTY Ronaldo in his club. When he watched the replay of his own stream after unsuccessful attempts, he realized what HE had done.
Or, if one is to believe ‘Speed’s’ statements, one should actually say: … what HIS DOG had done. He stared at him with a serious face and accused him of selling his Ronaldo, repeatedly saying the name of the four-legged friend in a serious tone.
Not only was the poor little guy shaken up during the exuberant cheer and probably did not find his owner’s noise so great, but on top of that, he was also blamed for his owner’s recklessness.
Happy ending for all involved: Web app makes it possible
What happened next? Fortunately for ‘Speed’, there is an option through the web app or the companion app for EA FC 24 to recover a certain number of discarded players. After he collected his thoughts after the initial shock, the streamer took this chance and looked for his sorted-out superstar on the web app. In the end, he was able to make up for the mishap and add TOTY Ronaldo back to his club.
Thus, the brief scare moment still ended well for everyone involved. IShowSpeed might be a bit more thoughtful in the future, which should also be better received by his little companion.
Even before the release of EA FC 24, we had previously reported about the streamer in connection with Cristiano Ronaldo. Back then, he was so upset about the new ratings of the superstar that it nearly choked him.
