While Free Fire enjoys tremendous popularity in regions like South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Brazil, the game doesn’t have a huge playerbase in other places. The FFPS was the first official tournament by Garena in North America and could be indicative of a higher commitment to the region in 2022. 

The tournament had a total prize pool of $50,000. It featured open qualifiers leading to a three-week group stage last month. Finally, the best 12 teams competed in the grand finals for the title of champions.
