We all know Vietnam recently got invited to the CrossFire Esports World Championship, the CFS 2021 Grand Finals. After a two-year absence, the Vietnamese team now has a real shot at winning a huge prize this year.
Although details about the CFS 2021 Grand Finals are still scarce since the event usually happens late in the year, there are plenty of reasons to believe this year’s tournament will be bigger than ever. Several signs point to this when looking at the current situation involving all parties. Let’s break it down!
CrossFire’s status is stronger than ever
Compared to 2019 and 2020, CrossFire’s position has grown a lot. It’s not just a long-standing global Esports title, but it was recently added as an official Esports event at SEA Games 31. Looking further ahead, the chance for CrossFire to be included in the 2022 Asian Games is wider than ever.
CrossFire chosen for SEA Games 31 Esports lineup
Because of this potential, Smilegate Entertainment is likely to make the CFS 2021 Grand Finals a landmark event showcasing CrossFire’s strength. This is the best way to boost the game’s global influence and image in the Esports scene.
The success of CFS 2021 Grand Finals, combined with CrossFire’s SEA Games 31 debut, will be a huge boost to push for its inclusion in the 2022 Asian Games and other major sports events. This is an opportunity that’s hard to miss!
COVID-19 is easing, and vaccine passports could help CFS 2021
As we all know, COVID-19 hit hard last year, shaking the world and limiting travel. The CFS 2020 Grand Finals was affected too, with only 6 teams participating instead of 12 like in 2019. Still, the prize pool remained huge at $820,000.
In 2021, Smilegate Entertainment is definitely planning to hold the CFS 2021 Grand Finals. The tournament format might change depending on the COVID-19 situation.
Travel opportunities for Esports teams have opened up much more compared to 2020, increasing the chances for more teams to join CFS 2021 Grand Finals. This is a great sign for Smilegate to organize a bigger, more spectacular tournament to make up for last year’s limitations.
Since the event usually takes place late in the year, CFS 2021 Grand Finals could benefit greatly from vaccine passport policies.
Global Esports growth is booming
The global Esports market is still growing fast, with Asia becoming a rising star. Market research firms have confirmed this through various studies. Despite COVID-19, global Esports revenue hit $1 billion in 2020 and is expected to jump to $1.5 billion by 2023.
CrossFire has a solid Esports foundation and is clearly positioned to boost its influence. No one would turn down a slice of that billion-dollar pie. 2021 is the perfect time for Smilegate Entertainment to invest in CrossFire’s reputation and impact in Esports. Nothing would be better than hosting a grand global CFS 2021 Grand Finals.
Vietnam has a real shot at a massive prize
Vietnam’s team came very close to winning the world title at the CFS 2017 Grand Finals, proving they can reach even higher. The recent revival of CrossFire Esports in Vietnam, especially with the CFVN Championship 2020 held late last year, shows promising signs.
We’ve seen veterans who once lifted the world runner-up trophy in the champion lineup of CFVN Championship 2020. Alongside them are fresh faces who took second place. This mix of experienced pros and rising stars promises a new powerhouse for Vietnam’s CrossFire on the global stage.
Clan VUA brings fresh young talent
We’ll continue to see new talents and shining moments from Vietnam’s CrossFire community in upcoming tournaments this year. 2021 could be the year strong Vietnamese teams travel abroad and grab major titles.
