Garena Free Fire is set to make its Esports World Cup debut on July 14th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This tournament, a spin-off of the Gamers8 event, is part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious plan to become a global gaming hub. While the event is impressive, questions remain about its long-term success.
The tournament will unfold in three stages:
- Knockout Stage (July 10th-12th): Eighteen teams will compete, with the top twelve advancing.
- Points Rush Stage (July 13th): A chance for teams to gain an early advantage.
- Grand Finals (July 14th): The final showdown to determine the champion.
Free Fire's recent success, including its 7th-anniversary celebration and upcoming anime adaptation, has fueled anticipation for this tournament. However, the event's logistical challenges might hinder participation for some players.
