Free Fire has made quite a few headlines this past year. Indeed, by breaking the viewership record for esports, it’s on pace to become one of the top esports soon. Accordingly, let’s take a look at what to expect for Free Fire Esports 2022 in this episode of Esports Roadmap!
Free Fire Esports 2022 – More World Series
Indeed, the Singapore Major from last year shocked the world by churning over 5,000,000 peak viewers. In response to this epic success, the main highlight for 2022 regarding Free Fire Esports is the introduction of the two World Series instead of one:
May 2022 – World Series
November 2022 – World Series

Bringing the best teams in the world across multiple stages of competition, we can’t wait to see it through. Besides these large premier events, we also look forward to the multiple regional leagues developing, with regions such as:
It’s been a fantastic year for esports. Accordingly, the majority of esports scenes managed to jump back from a difficult year in 2020. Indeed, we can show this off with another Top 5 – our very own Top 5 Viewed Esports Events 2021!
Before we proceed, let’s give a warm thanks to Esports Charts for making such viewership details public.
Starting strong, we have the highest prize pool in the history of esports. Accordingly, following last year’s cancellation, there was a lot riding on this.
Yet, after 2 years, the entire community loved the event and reminded us about why Dota 2 is one of the top esports in the world, with a surprise story thanks to Team Spirit which only made the event better.
Valve took as to an offline environment after two years of online Dota Pro Circuit action. Meeting expectations, it’s a great start to our top 5 list.

Peak Viewership – 2,748,434
Average Viewers – 593,061

Prize Pool: $2,000,000
Moving onto an event more viewed event, we’re climbing to 3,000,000 peak viewers. Specifically, as the largest CS:GO major all year long, the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 event was insane. With massive storylines and exciting matches, everyone realised that CS:GO was back after a tough time.
Crowning the veterans on Natus Vincere, the CS:GO community made a lot of noise and loved every second of it – the entire esports industry was impacted by this event.
#3 – PUBG Mobile Global Championship Season 0
Credits: Tencent
Peak Viewership – 3,801,998
Average Viewers – 528,822
Online/Offline
Prize Pool: $2,000,000
Moving onto the PUBG Mobile Global Championship, we can’t believe that the peak viewership keeps climbing. Taking us back to January 2021, the Grand Finals concluded the inaugural year of the event.
Accordingly, proving that PUBG Mobile is the world’s top mobile esport, the esport also showed it’s one of the top esports in general with the end of the season event. Almost reaching 4,000,000 peak viewership, the PMGC0 pushed the limits for competitive PUBG Mobile.
#2 – 2021 World Championship
Credits: Worlds 2021
Peak Viewership – 4,018,728
Average Viewers – 1,298,219

Prize Pool: $2,225,000
Coming in at number 2, the 2021 World Championship has earned a spot on our list. Specifically, with a record peak viewership of 4,000,000 viewers, thi s year had something special about it.
Although Worlds 2020 took place last year successfully, this year was even better. Uniting all the regions once again for some epic competition, this year we saw the rise of the LPL as EDward Gaming proved their skill, taking down former champions DWG KIA in an epic Grand Final.
#1 – Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore

Peak Viewership – 5,415,990
Average Viewers – 2,087,460

Prize Pool: $2,000,000
At the top of our list, we have the most jaw-dropping numbers of the year. Indeed, most didn’t see this coming, but the $2,000,000 Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore was insane.
Blowing the remainder of the industry out of the water, the peak viewership proved what we’ve been observing with competitive Free Fire all year long. Climaxing all the growth, a total of 5,415,990 peak viewers also writes a story to make Free Fire a strong competitor to PUBG Mobile.
One thing Free Fire has been lacking, is a consistent set of premier events. Accordingly, the first season of the Free Fire Pro Series NA had huge expectations. Indeed, the event delivered. Read on as we discuss this event and offer a recap!
Free Fire Pro Series NA Recap – A Superb Inaugural Season
Accordingly, the online event focused on the North American region, with $50,000 on the line. Running from 17th to 19th December, the 12 very best teams in the regions went at it.
Who you got for #FFPS Grand Finals champions this weekend? 💥🏆
Overall, it’s consistency that helped INVALIDOS take home the victory. Across all 3 days of competition, the team managed to stay on top through a balance of placement and frags.
To do so, the stellar team earned the most kills, the most first place finishes and the highest average placements. Yet, they weren’t always favoured. Specifically, in the Group Stage they only managed to place fourth in the Group Stage.
We're LIVE NOW with the FINAL day of #FFPS Grand Finals! 💥🏆
Last chance for teams to claim glory and take the inaugural NA championship home tonight!
With the year slowly concluding, we’re ready for some more discussion. Accordingly, over the past couple years, mobile esports has blown up exponentially and we’re all for it. Indeed, read on to find out our take on the Top 5 Mobile Esports 2021 to prepare ourselves for next year.
Top 5 Mobile Esports 2021 – Background
Prior to diving in, let’s set the stage. Specifically, the following list is entirely opinion-based, structured around some criteria such as events, viewership, structure, community activity and impact on the scene.
With that out of the way, it’s time to start the countdown.
#5 – Wild Rift: League of Legends
Credits: Riot Games
No, it’s not the biggest mobile esport out there. However, Wild Rift has impressed us this past year due to its immense growth recently.
Indeed, with the recently concluded Horizon Cup 2021, with $500,000, the esport celebrated one of its first Majors. Although viewership is still in its early days, it’s part of the process.
In the hands of Riot Games, one of the top industry names in esports, we’ll be keeping a close eye to observe much further expected growth as was the case for VALORANT.
With Wild Rift at number 5 due to its recent growth, who’s at number 4?
The number 4 spot was pretty tough – sitting between CoD: Mobile and Brawl Stars.
In this case, we simply had to go with CoD: Mobile due to the success the title has found this year. Most notably, this past year the Masters China Season 2 event saw a peak viewers of 1,985,208 which is incredibly impressive.
Indeed, the mobile esport is replicating the success of the PC title. Currently, the CoD Mobile World Championship (East and West) is taking place with a total of $2,000,000 on the line for competing teams.
Together with more consistent viewership, this esport is going places.
#3 – Arena of Valor/Kings of Glory
Credits: Tencent
At third place, we’re showing off one of our featured esports – Arena of Valor.
Once again this season, the esport impressed with its incredible international events – both the World Cup and International Championship. Beyond those events, the seasonal splits in Spring and Fall both receive a great amount of viewership, with an average of 500,000 per event.
It’s this consistency, paired with a strong hold on the Asian region which makes this title the most popular competitive MOBA title on mobile to this day.
#2 – Garena Free Fire
Credits; Garena
Moving on, this list is probably getting more predictable. Indeed, first and second was always going to be between Free Fire and PUBG Mobile.
As you can tell, we’re awarding second place to Free Fire. This past year has been simply nuts for the esport, with the Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore setting industry records – 5,415,990 peak viewers at one go!
Beyond that, the few premier events were also very successful in the multiple regions that showcased the esport. Accordingly, the only reason that PUBG Mobile still edges out the title is due to having a better global spread, more consistent viewership and more consistent Tier 1 events.
#1 – PUBG Mobile
Credits: Tencent
And we’ve arrived at our number 1 spot.
Here, PUBG Mobile has earned its spot for the past 2 years. With the ongoing PUBG Mobile Global Championship, it’s easy to see way.
Thanks to Tencent’s global approach, PUBG Mobile esports features a tonne of events – a lot to keep track of. Entertaining multiple regions, that only makes the international events that much more exciting.
Last year the PUBG Mobile Global Championship saw a peak viewership of almost 4,000,000 – we can’t wait to see what next year brings for the esport!
Since the Premier events at the beginning of the month, competitive Free Fire has slowed down a little. However, there are still some exciting events to look forward to before the year is up. Accordingly, the Free Fire North America Pro Series 2021 is here. Read on as we cover this event below with all the viewership details you need!
