After a PlayStation Network outage caused the postponement of the Madden Bowl during Super Bowl week in New Orleans, the rescheduled event is going overseas.
The Madden Bowl will be contested Monday, when Jonathan 'JonBeast' Marquez and Jacob 'Fancy' Worthington will face off in London.
'We're looking forward to bringing our community a new and exciting experience from London with our first international Madden NFL esports final,' EA's head of esports Monica Dinsmore said in a statement. 'It's a great chance for our finalists to get the Championship moment they deserve while also celebrating the growing passion for American football on the world stage.'
The Madden Bowl winner will earn $250,000 plus the coveted championship belt. The runner-up will get $150,000.
Fancy, a Frisco, Texas, resident who is the event's top seed, outscored 13th-seeded Taylor 'BigTay' Hodge of Atlanta 52-45 in the semifinals. Second-seeded JonBeast, from Hartford, Conn., got past third-seeded Abram 'Abram' Joseph of Houston 31-21 in his semifinal.
JonBeast owns three Madden Championship Series title belts, while Fancy has two.
