Silence secured seven headstart points with their immaculate performances. They were followed by fan-favorite Navi, who took five headstart points.

1) Silence - 7 points

2) NAVI - 5 points

3) Trident - 5 points

4) NKS - 2 points

5) Beeline - 1 point

Trident Clan secured five points as a result of good performances on both days. Two points were raked in by the Algerian team Nakazaki E-sport, while one point was picked up by the CIS team Beeline.

The prelims were a testament to how difficult it is to beat NAVI and Silence. Another CIS squad, Trident Clan, gave them tough competition, but other teams will have to devise new strategies to get past them. The weak performance of European and MENA teams in the preliminaries sets a disappointing tone ahead of the finals.

The 200K USD prizepool Grand Finals will take begin on 27 November at 10:45 pm IST. The tournament will be streamed on the official Youtube channels of Free Fire Esports and Free Fire Europe.
