Regional competitions and the Free Fire World Series are included in the 2023 esports plan revealed by Garena for the game. The company has made changes to the format of international tournaments. In some nations, regional competitions have already started in February.
The game developer announced a new Free Fire SEA Invitational (FFSI) competition. The FFSI will open to the top 18 MCPS, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Europe, Taiwan, MEA, and Pakistan squads. This competition is scheduled for May this year and will span three weekends.
All about Free Fire Esports in 2023
Free Fire Esports 2023 Roadmap
- Local pro leagues Spring Season held from February through April
- SEA Invitational (FFSI) held in May
- Local pro leagues Fall Season, held June – October
- Free Fire World Series (FFWS) held in November
From February to April, Spring Season Pro Leagues will occur in various regions of the world. These include LATAM, MEA, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Pakistan, to name a few regions.
On the other hand, the Free Fire SEA Invitational offers a three-week competition for all fans of the title. This event takes place in May.
Starting in June, the Fall Season Pro Leagues will feature teams fighting for a spot in the World Series at regional events (FFWS). The FFWS will feature a total of 18 teams from all competitive regions.
Only one World Series is being held this year, unlike last year when two competitions, each with two million in prize money, were held; in May on Sentosa Island and in November in Bangkok.
International competitions with a new format
For its international competitions, Garena has created a new format consisting of two stages:
- The Group Phase
- The Grand Finals
An international competition will feature 18 teams over nine days (three weekends).
For the group phase, Garena divided 18 teams into three groups of six. Two groups must then compete against each other on a given day in a round-robin system. This competition phase lasts six days (two weekends), with twelve teams advancing to the next round.
The three-day Grand Final, on the other hand, will include 12 teams competing for honors and a substantial prize purse.
In the past, Free Fire held international competitions over two days, with Play-Ins and Grand Finals on different days. In addition, teams now have 18 matches to prove themselves in the Grand Finals, as opposed to the six matches they used to have previously. Garena claimed these modifications would boost the global competitive scene.
