Thailand's Team Falcon emerges victorious in Garena's inaugural Esports World Cup: Free Fire tournament, securing the championship title and a $300,000 prize. This win also guarantees them a spot in the FFWS Global Finals 2024, to be held in Brazil.
Team Falcon's triumph was closely followed by Indonesia's EVOS Esports (second place) and Brazil's Netshoes Miners (third place). Remarkably, the Esports World Cup also achieved the distinction of being Free Fire's most-watched esports event ever. This significant viewership underscores the growing legitimacy of competitive Free Fire, particularly in a region not traditionally known for its esports scene.
