This week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the much awaited Esports World Cup: Free Fire will take the stage! The victor will receive the largest portion of the USD $1,000,000 prize fund in addition to a ticket to the Free Fire World Series (FFWS) Global Finals 2024 in Brazil later this year, thus the stakes are high for all 18 teams.
There will be three stages for the Esports World Cup: Free Fire. Teams will be divided into three groups of six for the Knock-out Stage, which runs from July 10 to July 12. Two groups will compete each day. After accumulating points over the course of three days, the top 12 teams will move on to the Point-Rush Stage on July 13. Here, teams will compete to obtain headstart points that will advance them to the Grand Final. All scores will be reset. Not to mention, the teams will compete in a race to the top starting on July 14 when the Grand Final gets underway.
