Recently, Garena released details for a new event for the mobile esport of Free Fire. Indeed, if you haven’t heard about it, the Free Fire City Open is down the pipeline. Planning to make the most of popularity in India, read on to know why this open event should be on your radar!
Free Fire City Open – What Do We Know?
- Prize pool: ₹6,000,000 INR/$80,455
- Teams: 12 Free Fire Indian Teams, with 10 top teams from 8 states
- Date: to be determined
Overall, it’s a great idea. Namely, Free Fire City Open has given 8 states a shining opportunity to compete with their best players. Namely, the cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow and Visakhapatnam will all have representatives! In addition, 2 Wildcards will be joining in too.
Accordingly, applications are open for all competitors, closing on 30th April.
Significance – Taking Over PUBG Mobile
As we’ve discussed here at esportsguide, India is a power house for mobile esports. So much so, that Free Fire and PUBG Mobile have their origins here. Recently, with a ban of PUBG Mobile affecting the nation, this is significant. Accordingly, Free Fire is making the most of the absence of the other esport and trying to really increase its leverage in the region.
We’re excited to see how much success the event earns.
