Registration for the Free Fire India Championship (FFIC) 2021 Fall, Garena’s premier tournament in India, will open to all players in India and Nepal today. Between the 16th and the 23rd of August, teams can join up using the Free Fire Cup (FFC) option in the game. As they fight for the lion’s share of the INR 75 lakh prize pool, the top FFC clubs will be joined by seeded teams from the recent Free Fire Pro League (FFPL) 2021 Summer. The best teams from the FFIC 2021 Fall will have the opportunity to represent the region at Free Fire’s upcoming international event, as well as directly qualify for the Free Fire Pro League 2021 Winter.
Free Fire India Championship (FFIC) 2021 Fall: Tournament Format
The route to become the FFIC 2021 Fall Champions will not be simple; teams will have to make their way through five difficult stages in order to win the tournament’s grand prize. The Battle Royale Squad mode will be used for all of the matches.
The event will begin with two qualifier stages, in which clubs will compete for a position in the FFIC Fall League Stage in 2021. Participants will compete in the Open Qualifiers first, using the Free Fire Cup (FFC) mode, with the top 42 teams progressing to the Closed Qualifiers. Six teams rated #7 to #12 in the last Free Fire Pro League (FFPL) 2021 Summer competition will join these 42 teams. The Closed Qualifiers, which will take place on September 1 and 2, will further narrow the field to the top 12 teams; these 12 teams, together with the top 6 seeded teams from the FFPL 2021 Summer, will compete in the FFIC 2021 Fall League Stage.
The FFIC 2021 Fall will continue with teams competing across a further three stages – the League Stage, Play-ins, and Grand Finals.
The League Stage will see the top 18 teams divided into 3 groups of 6 teams. Each group will play against each other round-robin style over the course of 9 league days, spanning a period of 3 weeks. This will be taking place from 17 September to 3 October.
The top 2 teams from each of the 3 groups will qualify directly for the Grand Finals. Thereafter, the remaining 12 teams will take part in the Play-Ins on 10 October, where they will battle it out for the remaining 6 Grand Final spots.
The FFIC 2021 Fall Grand Finals will see these 12 teams battle for a share of the INR 75 lakh prize pool on 17 October. However, the prize money will not be the only reward at stake. The top-performing teams at the FFIC 2021 Fall will get the coveted opportunity to represent the region at Free Fire’s upcoming international tournament. The top 12 from the tournament will also qualify directly for the next Free Fire Pro League 2021 Winter.
