Garena Free Fire is set to make its Esports World Cup debut on Wednesday, July 14th, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This tournament, a spin-off of the Gamers8 event, is part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious plan to become a global gaming hub. While the event is impressive, questions remain about its long-term success.

The tournament will unfold in three stages:

• Knockout Stage (July 10th-12th): Eighteen teams will compete, with the top twelve advancing.
• Points Rush Stage (July 13th): A chance for teams to gain an advantage.
• Grand Finals (July 14th): The final showdown to determine the champion.

Free Fire's recent success, including its 7th-anniversary celebrations and upcoming anime adaptation, has fueled anticipation for this World Cup. However, the tournament's logistical challenges may hinder participation for some.
