3 - Which are the strongest teams in the FFIC 2021 Fall League Stage?
The previous season, the Spring Split, was won by Galaxy Racer Esports. They have done pretty well since, taking the 4th spot in the recent Free Fire City Open Nationals. It is highly likely that the defending champion will be a big contender for the grand prize.
Last season's runner up team Chaos and third place team Elite are also here as well. They were also doing really well in earlier tournaments and will be a force to be reckoned with.
Outside of these 3, famous names like Total Gaming (FFPL Champion), 4 Unknown, TSM and Titanium Army are likely to perform well in this tournament. Blind and Head Hunters are also veterans from the recent FFCO. This League Stage is going to be stacked, with most of the teams are experienced squads from previous tournaments.
