The Esports World Cup is back in 2025, and Free Fire is making a triumphant return! Following the successful 2024 tournament, the event continues to expand, with Garena's Free Fire joining the lineup.
Team Falcons, victors of the 2024 Free Fire Champions event, secured their place in the Free Fire World Series Global Finals in Rio de Janeiro. Their win highlights the competitive spirit and prestige of the Esports World Cup.
Free Fire will share the spotlight with Honor of Kings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a location chosen for its significant investment in the global esports scene. The Esports World Cup, a Gamers8 spin-off, offers substantial prizes and aims to establish Saudi Arabia as a leading esports destination.

The high production values of the Esports World Cup are undeniable, attracting top-tier games like Free Fire. However, while the event is undeniably glamorous, its status remains somewhat secondary to other major global esports competitions. Nevertheless, its return represents a significant step forward, especially considering the cancellation of the Free Fire World Series in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The future success of the Esports World Cup remains to be seen, but its resurgence is a welcome development for fans.
