About
The Characters: The primary mode in the game is bomb plant and defusal, where attacking teams try to plant and detonate a bomb, while the defenders try to prevent the detonation of the bomb by whatever means necessary. In addition to weapons, all players can purchase a variety of tactical grenades, such as smokes and flashes to customize their character based on the team's chosen strat.
The Plot: Much like in other tactical shooters, CROSSFIRE emphasizes tactics and has a very fast time to kill, making your positioning on the map crucial to success.
The highest-level CROSSFIRE players have mastered both their aim and movement to always gain a mechanical advantage in their fights. Every match is focused on incredible mechanical skills and wild teamplays in an attempt to get the upper hand on the enemy.
Why: As one of the most popular FPS games in the world, the competition to reach the top is heated, and with a $2 million dollar prize pool on the line, the CROSSFIRE at 2025 Esports World Cup is taking that heat to another level. Watch the best-of-the-best outgun and outplay one another with a passionate crowd of gobal fans.
