As a gamer, I’ve got some rules here: To join my team, everyone needs to be at least Diamond 1 rank and level 40. If we want to switch up our roster, the entire squad has to disband. Once we’ve started a match, there’s no going back. Also, players can only represent one team at a time.
Participating Teams
During the event, there’ll be a registration period first. Once all preliminary steps are completed, the top 48 teams will progress to online qualifiers. Each team will play a maximum of 12 games during this phase. The scores from these games will decide which 8 teams advance to the next stage. We’ll update the article as soon as the participating teams are finalized.
Prize Pool
The monetary reward for this competition is immense, offering a fresh start to the winning teams. In total, an impressive ₹1 crore prize pool will be distributed among the participating teams. At present, the specifics such as the distribution of funds are yet to be disclosed by the organizers. Once these details are made available, we eagerly await each piece of information and will share it with you promptly.
Final Thoughts
Free Fire, a highly-ranked esports game, has consistently shown strong performance in recent years within the mobile gaming sector. However, in the year 2022, the government imposed a ban on it due to safety concerns. As a result, the game was removed from various digital marketplaces alongside 11 other titles.
Ever since then, the competitive landscape for esports in India has faced challenges, causing the community to explore different games instead. But with the upswing in India’s esports industry and the lifting of the ban on this particular game, a fresh opportunity has emerged, leading to its official announcement.
