Garena, the publisher of the popular battle royale game Free Fire, has recently revealed its plans to host the Free Fire Clash Squad SEA Cup (FF CS Cup) next month. This tournament will feature teams from four different regions, namely Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and MCPS (Malaysia, Cambodia, Philippines and Singapore). With a prize pool of US$50,000, the FF CS Cup promises to deliver an exciting and unique esports experience for Free Fire enthusiasts.

Scheduled to take place from 7–16 July, the tournament will span six match days, during which the 16 participating teams will compete fiercely for the coveted prize. The FF CS Cup aims to provide a fresh take on Free Fire esports following the recently concluded Free Fire SEA Invitational, allowing fans to witness their favorite teams engage in thrilling battles in the game’s first-ever multiregional professional CS Mode tournament.

Tournament Format

The FF CS Cup will adopt a two-weekend format. The initial weekend, from 7–9 July, will feature a Single Elimination bracket with matches played in a best-of-3 format. A draw show will be conducted prior to the tournament to determine the teams’ brackets. On the first two days, eight teams will vie for the top four slots, while the third day will witness the eight best teams from the previous matches competing for the remaining four slots in the next week.

The second weekend, spanning 14–16 July, will host the Double Elimination bracket in a best-of-5 format. The top four teams from the previous week will face off against each other, with the winners of the two matches advancing to the Upper Bracket and the losers competing in the Lower Bracket. The Lower Bracket will offer one last opportunity for teams to reach the Grand Final, while the Upper Bracket winners will battle it out for the championship title. The thrilling climax of the FF CS Cup is set to take place on 16 July, where Free Fire fans will witness the crowning of the tournament’s champion.
