Seeding For FFCS
The top-seeded teams from each local-level tournament will earn direct entry into each series’ respective Grand Finals. The rest of the teams will earn their place in the Grand Finals by beating other teams in the region. India will be represented at the Asia Series by top seed Total Gaming Esports, the recently-crowned winners of the Free Fire India Championship 2020 Fall. The champions will be accompanied by Team CRX Elite and XTZ Esports (previously Stalwart Esports), who placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
