Thailand's Team Falcons Win Free Fire Esports World Cup

In a thrilling conclusion to Garena's inaugural Esports World Cup tournament for Free Fire, Team Falcon from Thailand emerged victorious. The team not only claimed the championship title but also secured a substantial $300,000 prize, marking a historic moment in the game’s competitive scene.

Following closely behind were EVOS Esports from Indonesia and Netshoes Miners from Brazil, who finished in second and third place respectively. More importantly, Team Falcon’s win guarantees them the first confirmed spot in the upcoming FFWS Global Finals 2024, set to take place later this year in Brazil.

Beyond the competition itself, the event made waves as the most-watched esports tournament in Free Fire’s history. This level of engagement serves as a strong validation of the game's global appeal, especially considering the Esports World Cup's relatively new presence in the competitive gaming landscape.
