Free Fire\'s Esports World Cup champions crowned, with Thailand\'s Team Falcons taking the gold

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 09,2025

Thailand's Team Falcon emerges victorious in Garena's inaugural Esports World Cup: Free Fire tournament, securing the championship title and a substantial $300,000 prize. This win also guarantees Team Falcon a spot in the FFWS Global Finals 2024, to be held in Brazil.

EVOS Esports (Indonesia) and Netshoes Miners (Brazil) claimed second and third place, respectively. Remarkably, this Free Fire tournament achieved the distinction of being the most-watched esports event in the game's history, a significant milestone given the tournament's relatively new presence in a region not traditionally known for competitive gaming. This success strongly validates the game's growing esports scene.
