Despite their last-place finish, Bangladesh’s Red Hawks sparked significant regional interest, contributing to the tournament’s record-setting Bengali peak.

The short, high-intensity format and million-dollar stakes helped generate massive hype, solidifying EWC 2025 as the top-performing Free Fire event of the year so far.

The tournament also marked a milestone for Indonesian esports, with EVOS Divine, RRQ Kazu, and Vitality filling all three podium spots.

Attention now shifts to the next phases of the 2025 Esports World Cup, which continues with the likes of the MLBB Mid Season Cup and PUBG Mobile being played over Week 3 of the event.
