With the partnership, Flamengo will compete in Series A of the Brazilian Free Fire League (LBFF), the main competition in the country, which will have its second split played from next Saturday. The red-black squad will be formed by Kauelok, Reei, Modesty, DeadGOD, Minuzzi and coach Machado.
Last weekend, the team won the championship organized by DJ Alok and took home R$25,000 (US$4,550).
In Brazil, Free Fire has been experiencing great growth in recent years. Teams like Corinthians and Santos decided to invest in the sport, attracting fans of football and other sports. In 2019, LOUD, another Brazilian team, was runner-up in the Pro League, participated in the World Cup and became champion of the Copa America in 2020.
More accessible than rivals Fortnite and PUBG, Free Fire works well on any intermediate mobile device and does not consume a lot of data when connecting to the internet. It is a shooting game, of the “battle royale” type, in which dozens of players are dropped on an island full of weapons and other items. The last survivor wins.
