Thailand's Team Falcon emerges victorious in Garena's inaugural Esports World Cup: Free Fire tournament, securing the championship title and a substantial $300,000 prize. This win also earns them the first confirmed spot in the FFWS Global Finals 2024, to be held in Brazil.
Following closely behind were EVOS Esports (Indonesia) in second place and Netshoes Miners (Brazil) in third. The tournament achieved remarkable viewership, setting a new record as the most-watched Free Fire esports event ever.
