Sebastián Fernández is one of the pioneers in the creation of virtual football content in Argentina. His beginnings in the EA title date back to 2013-2014, when the host fell in love with the game after purchasing the PlayStation 4 console. In turn, Sebastián considers himself a great football fan. This passion led him to want to generate content, sharing free kick or penalty kick tutorials. In this way, he creates a channel on YouTube, with the idea of ​​giving advice to viewers and providing solutions to certain things.

Currently, his YouTube channel has almost 900,000 followers and in the beginning, according to him, he never believed that he could achieve such a milestone. By dedicating time, desire and passion, Sebastián managed to become one of the most recognized YouTubers in virtual football. However, due to the pandemic and the new formats of the platform, Sebastián turned to streaming, where he currently feels more comfortable. “At some point I’m going to resume my YouTube channel, so I can reach the million mark,” Sebastián commented.

The growth of his channel fills him with pride, since it is the largest specialized in the EA title on YouTube Latin America. This success is attributed to his way of relating humor and entertainment to the game, without relying exclusively on its “content.” At the same time, Sebastián believes that the competitive scene has been growing and more and more users are joining. However, he is very critical of the current state of the game, since he feels that “it has little room for new developments,” which generates “little hype” in the community. For this reason he hopes that this will change in the future, with new game modes that attract and retain the player for longer.
