Buriram United Esports were crowned Free Fire world champions at the FFWS Global Finals 2025 on November 15 at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta. The Thai squad beat 11 other finalists in the Battle Royale grand final, winning across seven matches on consistent placements. Per Garena's official recap, BRU.Wassana took both the Grand Finals MVP and the Predator award, contributing 22 eliminations and 13 assists.
Thailand completed a clean sweep at the event: in the Clash Squad grand final on November 14, All Gamers Global took the title, a day before Buriram United's Battle Royale win. The tournament also set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest mobile team-based esports tournament, part of a 2025 season that Garena says featured 618,778 players in official events worldwide.
Why it matters: the Jakarta finals closed a cycle of growth — international slots were expanded from 18 to 24 for 2026 and the global finals moved to Bangkok — while Buriram United's title confirmed Southeast Asia's strength at the top of the game. The event also teased the Free Fire × Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration that launched in January 2026, connecting the esports calendar with the game's content roadmap.
