Two of the three eSports teams that represent Indonesia, namely Island Of God and EVOS Roar, successfully played their best games and secured first and third places. For this win, Garena Free Fire Indonesia not only added itself to the list of world cups in the country, but also demonstrated that Indonesian esports are very strong and ready to achieve further successes.

Three Indonesian Representative Teams namely Island Of God, EVOS Roar and RRQ Poseidon were selected after finishing in the top three in the Free Fire Summer League 2021 tournament held last August. Island Of God consists of Fickri Aulia (IOG * Kids), Hendrick Kristanto (IOG * Hen’ST), Ahmad Syahrullah (IOG * RuL’s) and Muhammad Iqbal (IOG * Cavella).

The game of the Indonesian team for yesterday’s tournament victory was full of tension. Thonburi Esports from the Thai team won Booyah 2 times in a row in the first and second game. However, Thonburi failed to notice that the Indonesian team, Island of God, was always tailing them and slowly creeping up to the top 5 position. Island of God made it to Booyah in game four and fifth, who made it to the top of the table by the last game. Thonburi continued to press Island of God in the last game. Although Island of God was not left out in the last game, this team was able to collect a total of 2,345 points from the results of the kill calculation and the position of the team in the last game, 100 points ahead of Thonburi, who finished second with 2,245 points.

Followed by third place, EVOS Roar, who had lagged behind in the preliminary round, made it into the final with a final score of 1,765 points. Meanwhile, RRQ Poseidon had to be content with 10th place with 790 points in the final ranking. In addition to the series of successes, this international tournament was recognized by MURI Records for “The First Online Game Competition with Augmented Reality Technology”.

“The Free Fire Asia Invitational 2021, which took place on September 7th, 2021, proved that online gaming, or what we know about online gaming, can bring together different elements of society and ethnicity and should not be underestimated. Hopefully the second MURI Record Award can spur Garena’s enthusiasm for inspiring new innovations, “said Galuh Sasongko, manager of the Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI).

“With the 2021-2020 eSports tournament agenda, we are presenting more national and international tournaments as a forum for eSports athletes to turn their talents into success. Hopefully this can open up more opportunities for Indonesian teams to participate in international tournaments and even outperform.” said Christian Wihananto as Garena Free Fire Country Producer.
