FFWS SEA Fall 2024 Finals to take place at Surabaya, Indonesia

The FFWS SEA Fall 2024 will happen from Oct. 11 to 13 in Surabaya, Indonesia. While the tournament has 18 teams, only 12 teams will be competing in the finals.

The complete format hasn’t been announced yet, although it will be similar to the Spring Season. The teams will compete across a long league stage encompassing six weeks. This stage will be played online, and four teams will be eliminated.

Garena has revealed that the slogan for the tournament is “Fight for Legacy.”

There will be a lot at stake in the FFWS SEA Fall 2024 Finals as the tournament will determine the SEA teams in the Global Finals. So far, Team Falcons, the defending FFWS SEA champions and the Esports World Cup winners, have qualified for the tournament.

An important competition for the future of Free Fire esports

Since its peak in 2020 and 2021, Free Fire’s esports scene has been on a downfall. While many esports’ games witnessed a reduction in esports interest in recent times primarily due to the inflated numbers amidst a global pandemic, Free Fire continued to fall.

As a result, Garena revamped the Free Fire esports ecosystem in 2024, putting all tournaments under the umbrella of the FFWS.

The FFWS SEA Spring 2024 peaked at 310,000 viewers while the Esports World Cup achieved 471,000 viewers, per Esports Charts. It seems Free Fire esports could be stabilizing and future growth prospects are on the horizon. Therefore, the FFWS SEA Fall 2024 needs to be a testament to do that stabilization.

Coupled with the fact that Free Fire India is set to be released soon, it remains to be seen what the future for the BR title holds.
