The world’s top Free Fire teams will lock horns in the mobile battle royale game’s largest and most iconic esports tournament to date
The world’s top Free Fire talent will be on display this weekend. The Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore (FFWS 2021 SG) will begin on May 28 with the Play-Ins and conclude on May 30 with the Finals and will bring 18 teams from 11 regions to Singapore as they compete for a US$2,000,000 prize pool – Free Fire’s largest ever.
Organized by leading global online games developer and publisher Garena, the World Series is Free Fire’s largest and most iconic esports tournament – the inaugural Free Fire World Series 2019 Rio saw more than 2 million concurrent online viewers tune in at its peak, which was then the world record high for a mobile esports tournament.
The 2021 edition of the World Series will be held offline at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. This marks the first step for a return to normalcy for Free Fire international esports after tournaments in 2020 were held online. With the health and safety of all involved of utmost importance, Garena is working closely with the local authorities and has employed stringent screening and protection measures.
Fans can catch the Play-Ins from 9PM (SGT) on May 28 and the Finals from 9PM (SGT) on May 30. The Play-Ins stage of the FFWS 2021 SG will feature 9 teams who placed either first or second in their regional-level tournament:
| 1. LOUD (Brazil) 2. Singularity.Invincible (CIS) 3. vaiXourar (Europe) 4. First Raiders (Indonesia) 5. Gods Plan (Latin America) | 6. DEA (MENA) 7. NEWGANK (Singapore) 8. Attack All Around (Thailand) 9. HQ Esports (Vietnam) |
The top 3 teams from the Play-Ins will advance to the Finals, where they will compete alongside 9 other teams – who earned direct qualification by winning their regional-level tournament – for the world championship title and US$500,000. The finalists are:
| 1. Fluxo (Brazil) 2. Silence (CIS) 3. Evos Divine (Indonesia) 4. Team Aze (Latin America) 5. VIP E-sport (MENA) | 6. Geek Fam (MCP) 7. LGDS (Taiwan) 8. Phoenix Force (Thailand) 9. Burst the Sky (Vietnam) |
Both the Play-Ins and Finals will follow the same competitive format. Teams will battle to be the last one standing over 6 rounds, across all 3 maps – Bermuda, Purgatory, and Kalahari – with points awarded based on round ranking and the number of kills.
All of the matches will be broadcast on YouTube, Facebook, and BOOYAH! and accompanied by commentary in 12 languages – Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Bengali, English, Hindi, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese.
