Garena, a leading game developer and publisher, will soon hold the Free Fire World Series Southeast Asia (FFWS SEA) 2025 Spring from April 25 to June 14. This tournament will bring together 18 of the best teams from the Southeast Asia region, including the five strongest coktoto teams from Indonesia who are ready to bring home the trophy and a total prize of US$375,000.
As the highest Free Fire esports tournament in Southeast Asia, FFWS SEA 2025 Spring will bring together 18 teams from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. This tournament will be present with a hybrid Knockout round on April 25-June 1, 2025, and continue to the Final round on June 13-14, 2025. After the previous edition was held in Surabaya, Indonesia, the FFWS SEA 2025 Spring Final round will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam.
New Format and Challenges in FFWS SEA 2025 Spring
As in the previous season, the Knockout round of FFWS SEA this time will be a qualifying round to select the 12 best teams to advance to the Final round. The difference is, this time Garena introduces a new challenge by dividing this round into two phases. In the First Phase on April 25-May 11, 18 teams will compete to win the top 12 positions to qualify for Phase 2.
Those who qualify for Phase 2 will not immediately qualify for the Final round. In Phase 2, they will compete again for 2 weeks, on May 16-25, 2025, with 12 teams per day. The team at the top of the standings on each match day will automatically get a ticket to the Final round. So, from 6 matches throughout 2 weeks, there will be 6 teams that qualify for the Final round. To maintain the composition of 12 teams each day, there will be one additional team from the 13th-18th rankings of Phase 1 to fill the empty spots.
The remaining teams will compete again for 3 days on May 30-June 1, 2025 with a qualification format determined based on Overall Standing. The teams in the top 6 will follow 6 other teams to qualify for the Final round. They will compete at the National Convention Center, Hanoi, Vietnam on June 14, 2025.
Clash Squad Mode Present at FFWS SEA 2025 Spring
For the first time, FFWS SEA will also hold a Clash Squad mode match in addition to the Battle Royale mode that has been competed so far. This Clash Squad mode will come with a total Prize Pool of US$75,000, so the total Prize Pool of FFWS SEA 2025 Spring will be US$375,000.
This CS match between elite Free Fire Southeast Asia teams will be participated by eight teams ranked at the top in Phase 1 of the Knockout round. This CS tournament will use the Swiss Bracket with the top ranked team facing the bottom ranked team in the top 8.
Bringing Spirit from Pre-Season, Indonesia is Ready to Win at FFWS SEA 2025 Spring
Indonesia will be represented by five teams at FFWS SEA 2025 Spring, namely RRQ Kazu, ONIC Olympus, EVOS Divine, Bigetron Esports–who qualified from FFWS SEA 2024 Fall, and Vesakha Esports–who qualified from FFNS 2025 Spring last March. They will compete against other strong teams from Southeast Asia, such as Buriram United Esports (Thailand) and Team Falcons (Thailand), to WAG (Vietnam).
Indonesia, which has long yearned for an international trophy to return to its homeland, this time has quite high hopes. RRQ Kazu, one of the mainstay teams with the red and white passport, just won the FFWS SEA 2025 Pre-Season last month. Although it was only a warm-up match, this victory is a big capital to repeat the same story in FFWS SEA 2025 Spring.
Free Fire also announced that Red Bull has officially joined as the Official Energy Drink Partner for FFWS SEA in the Spring and Fall 2025 seasons. This collaboration marks an exciting start, bringing more energy and excitement to Free Fire players and fans across Southeast Asia. Players can look forward to exclusive Free Fire x Red Bull collaboration content in-game, as well as limited edition prizes that will be available in the Fall season.
Red Bull is the latest official partner of Free Fire to join the FFWS SEA series. Previously, another global brand, Samsung, also joined as an official partner of FFWS SEA since the 2024 Fall season.
