Delo vs Collo Gamer finally happened last evening at Phoenix. Surprisingly, what was supposed to be a close encounter between two FC 26 heavyweights ended in complete domination.
For weeks, there had been silent tension between the two players. While there were no loud TikTok videos or crazy callouts, each player believed they were better than the other.

The roots of this rivalry go back to March during the eLigue 1 qualifiers. That match still lives in the players’ heads.
The Match That Started the Beef
When the two met on March 7 during the qualifiers, Delo looked finished with the job early on. The Phoenix player was leading 2-0 and looked fully in control while Collo Gamer seemed headed to the losers bracket. In fact, Collo was already standing up and almost closing his controller before everything changed.
One careless pass at the back deep in stoppage time provided room for extra time as Collo had already pulled one goal back.
Even in extra time, Delo still found a way to go ahead. But somehow, once again, he couldn’t hold the lead. Another late collapse forced penalties. And there? Collo completed the comeback.

The history between the two explains why last evening’s money match felt at Phoenix felt massive.
The format was:
- Kick Off Classic teams
- First to 3 wins
- 3,000 KSh per set
The first set was competitive. Delo fought hard, but Collo edged it 3-2. At that point, fans still expected a long night. Instead, things got ugly.
Second set? 3-0 to Collo. No pressure. Just pure control. And by then, Delo looked mentally gone.
The final set ended 3-1, wrapping up a clean sweep for the Z Esports player. Three straight sets, 9K secured and statement delivered.
This wasn’t just about the money. This felt personal. Collo Gamer didn’t just beat Delo — he settled the argument, at least for now.
