Top 18 Teams going into FFPL 2021 Winter League Stage

We are barely a week into the new year, and the horizon is already lit up with upcoming Free Fire tournaments. We will be kicking off this year with the Free Fire Pro League 2021 Winter. This tournament will feature 12 teams that did well in the FFIC 2021 Fall, and they’ll be joined by 6 teams that fought their way through the FFC Mode Open Qualifiers. With only a few days left for the tournament to begin, let’s familiarise ourselves with the teams that will be participating in this tournament. 

The teams are divided into three groups, with each group consisting of six teams. 

Group A

• 1. ORANGUTAN ELITE

• 2. NIGMA GALAXY

• 3. TSM

• 4. TEAM CHAOS

• 5. ASSASSIN ARMY ESPORTS

• 6. ZERO DEGREE

This group looks absolutely stacked! Group A probably looks like the toughest group of them all. Five out of the six teams in there have been in the FFIC finals, and have competed in several top tier tournaments already. While Zero Degree might be a relatively new team in the circuit, this organisation has fielded several rosters for various titles in the past, so we cannot write them out just yet. However, this group has 2 teams that have already won FFIC in the past. Orangutan Elite, previously known as Team Elite - the winner of FFIC 2021 Fall. Nigma Galaxy, on the other hand is Galaxy Racer, the winner of FFIC 2021 Spring. However, we must point out that they have had a roster change since the last time they won a premier tournament. The new Nigma Galaxy roster was largely unproven up until a few months ago, but for the upcoming FFPL, they have had enough time to hone their skills, and are looking like a serious threat. 

While TSM and Team Chaos didn’t impress us all that much during the last premier tournaments, this could be their chance at redemption. 

Group B

• 1. PVS GAMING ESPORTS

• 2. GODLIKE ESPORTS

• 3. CHEMIN ESPORTS

• 4. AURA GAMING ESPORTS

• 5. KM BROTHERHOOD

• 6. SURYA BHAI GMNG ESPORTS

Here comes another group which has a majority of FFIC representatives. Four out of the six teams here have already proved their mettle before in premier tournaments. PVS Gaming Esports made history by turning their first FFIC tournament into a ticket to the Free Fire Asia Championship. Having fought the best teams in the continent, the FFPL might just be a piece of cake for them. Godlike Esports is full of amazing talent. Their demand was certainly high during the FFWI, because everyone wanted a Godlike player in their team. Team 4Unknown have now joined Chemin Esports and will be playing under this new banner. Aura Gaming Esports also impressed us by performing really well in FFIC 2021 Fall and surprised us with their dominant run. We look forward to seeing them pull off that incredible feat again. These talented teams will be joined by two young rosters - KM Brotherhood and Surya Bhai x GMNG Esports. These two teams qualified via the FFC mode open qualifiers, and hence they’re new to the competitive circuit. However, we are hoping that they give the old guard a run for their money. Everybody loves a good old underdog story!

Group C

• 1. TOTAL GAMING ESPORTS

• 2. DESI GAMERS ESPORTS

• 3. REVENANT ESPORTS

• 4. INSANE ESPORTS

• 5. TEAM TYCOONS

• 6. PHANTOM TROUPE

Total Gaming Esports recently bagged all the Free Fire 2021 awards under each category. Naturally, they are the team to beat in Group C. Desi Gamers Esports wore the tricolour and represented the country alongside Total Gaming Esports in the FFAC last year, however Desi Gamers Esports seemed a bit out of their depth in that tournament. Maybe a good run at the FFPL 2021 Winter will help them regain their confidence. The old roster of Head Hunters has joined Revenant Esports and will be playing under their banner for the foreseeable future. 

Insane Esports is a mix of fresh talent and an experienced captain. Team Tycoons and Phantom Troupe are new joinees who made their mark in the FFC mode and are now being summoned for a tougher challenge. Let’s see how they fare in a group which has two teams that have international experience. 

All these eighteen teams are locked and loaded! We can’t wait to get the tournament underway and watch them in action. Tune in to Free Fire Esports India, 8th January 2021 onwards every weekend at 6 PM IST, on our official Youtube channel.
