The tournament is open for all Indian residents older than 12 years of age and the only other criteria is that players will need to have a Garena Free Fire account that is above level 10 to be eligible.

With this, Garena Free Fire’s massive audience has widened the avenues for content creation and esports related to the title.

The top 10 performances in the 15 matches will advance to the next stage. A total of 648 teams will progress to the playoffs and to decide the total squad kills for each team, survival time and accuracy will be taken into consideration.
