Teaming up with the EWC Foundation, Free Fire aims to deliver an unparalleled esports experience to fans worldwide, leveraging its massive global presence and popularity as one of the most downloaded mobile battle royales.
Esports World Cup: Free Fire is set to take place between July 10th and 14th and will feature 18 elite teams vying for the humongous $1,000,000 prize pool. Participants will be selected from five local Free Fire tournaments and ESL’s Free Fire Snapdragon Pro Series and will engage in heated Knock-out Stage battles for the first three days, before the top 12 squads advance to the grand finale.
