“Cole,” a 29-year-old in his first Madden Championship Series event, upset Dwayne “Cleff The God” Wood 24-21 on Friday in the quarterfinals of the Madden Ultimate Wild Card tournament.
Cole clinched a spot in the Madden Bowl with his victory over Cleff The God, who is the third-ranked Madden player in the world.
In the semifinals on Thursday, Cole will oppose Henry “Henry” Leverette, who edged “Astro” 35-31 in the quarterfinals.
