Flamengo Esports clawed their way to the top of the Free Fire Emulator Cup finals after a shaky start in the group stage. The team, which narrowly avoided elimination earlier, now leads the pack—but rivals are closing in fast.
The first day of finals kicked off Thursday with 12 teams battling through 10 matches. Flamengo, who nearly faced relegation in the group phase, turned the tables by overtaking rivals Vasco Esports. Now, they hold a slim two-point lead over Antisocial Team, with Fluxo trailing just 22 points behind.
The competition’s far from over. Antisocial and Fluxo could still flip the standings when play resumes Friday at 7 PM local time. One bad round, and Flamengo’s hard-fought lead might vanish.
No one expected this comeback. After barely scraping through groups, Flamengo’s now the team to beat. But in esports, momentum shifts fast. Friday’s matches will decide who takes the trophy.
