Garena Free Fire's Esports World Cup debut is fast approaching! The three-stage tournament kicks off July 10th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking Saudi Arabia's latest bid to become a global gaming hub. While ambitious and impressive, the long-term success of this initiative remains to be seen.

The Free Fire competition itself will unfold in three phases. Eighteen teams will compete, with the top twelve advancing from the July 10th-12th knockout stage. A Points Rush Stage on July 13th will give teams a chance to gain an advantage before the Grand Finals on July 14th.

Free Fire's recent success, including its 7th-anniversary celebrations and upcoming anime adaptation, is undeniable. However, the Esports World Cup's accessibility for players outside the top tiers presents a significant logistical challenge.

Nevertheless, there's plenty to keep you entertained while you watch the competition. Check out our list of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 to discover exciting titles!
