Garena Free Fire's Esports World Cup debut is almost here! The tournament, a key part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious plan to become a global gaming hub, kicks off Wednesday, July 14th in Riyadh. This event, a Gamers8 spin-off, is attracting significant investment, but its long-term success remains to be seen.
The tournament unfolds in three phases:
- Knockout Stage (July 10th-12th): Eighteen teams compete, with only 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 crown the champion.
Free Fire's recent success, including its 7th-anniversary celebrations and anime adaptation, has fueled excitement for this World Cup. However, the event's logistical challenges might hinder broader participation.
