The Free Fire World Cup 2025 Knockout stage reached a pivotal moment as Day 2 concluded on July 17, setting the stage for a decisive final day. With Group B completing all 12 of their matches, attention now shifts to Groups A and C, which have six matches remaining on July 18 to finalize their positions. The top 12 teams from the combined standings will advance to the next phase of the tournament.
Indonesia’s EVOS Esports emerged as the standout performer, leading the global scoreboard with 154 points and 87 eliminations across 12 matches. Their aggressive playstyle and tactical precision earned them one Booyah—a term denoting match victories in Free Fire—solidifying their reputation as title contenders. Thailand’s Core Memory trailed closely in second with 150 points, showcasing remarkable consistency despite securing only one Booyah. Indonesia’s Team Vitality rounded out the top three, climbing to third place with 125 points and two Booyahs, thanks to strategic late-game maneuvers.
Brazilian squad Fluxo Esports claimed fourth with 106 points, a notable achievement without securing a single Booyah, relying instead on 54 eliminations. Defending champions Team Falcons faced an uphill battle, securing sixth place with 98 points and two Booyahs in just six matches—half the games played by most rivals. Their performance leaves room for potential advancement as they complete their remaining matches.
Mid-table clashes saw Pakistan’s Hotshot Esports in seventh (87 points), while Rainbow7 and paiN Gaming followed with 83 and 77 points, respectively. Thailand’s Buriram United and Alfa34 remained locked at 68 points, though Alfa34’s 11th-place finish highlighted struggles in adapting to the tournament’s intensity.
Regional champions like ONIC Olympus, winners of the FFWS SEA 2025 Spring, faced unexpected challenges, landing 15th with 36 points. Lower-ranked teams, including Red Hawks (32 points) and Visionsystem SPA (16 points), face near-impossible odds for advancement.
The final day’s matches promise high stakes, particularly for Groups A and C, where teams like Team Falcons and Virtus.pro aim to climb into the safety of the top 12. With elimination thresholds tightening, adaptability and clutch performances will determine which squads survive to compete in the next stage of the global championship.
