Global Finals Qualification
The top 8 teams of the event standings will qualify for the FFWS Global Finals 2025. If one team has already qualified for the Global Finals from winning another event, such as EVOS Divine won the Esports World Cup, then the qualification will be given to the next ranked team.
The Champion Rush rule forces teams to play more aggressively and take risks, and that makes games more thrilling. There is big money and world championship spots on offer, too. Additionally, SEA viewership is growing significantly, so this tournament is turning out to be one of the big highlights for the Free Fire competitive scene this year.
