Esports World Cup: Garena Free Fire Debuts Soon

Garena Free Fire's Esports World Cup debut is fast approaching! The three-stage tournament kicks off July 10th, showcasing Saudi Arabia's ambitious bid to become a global gaming hub. While the event is impressive, its long-term success remains to be seen.

The tournament, a Gamers8 spin-off, will be held in Riyadh. Eighteen teams will compete, with a knockout stage (July 10th-12th) reducing the field to twelve. A Points Rush Stage on July 13th precedes the Grand Finals on July 14th.

Free Fire's recent success, including its 7th anniversary and anime adaptation, has fueled anticipation for this World Cup. However, the event's logistical challenges may hinder participation for many.
