Free Fire took this initiative to penetrate higher education institutions across the country, which had a lot of untapped potentials. NGES once again independently managed all the operations for the tournament, which involved executing qualifiers in nine universities across the five cities. The qualified teams then flew to Karachi for the event’s Grand Final, which took place on the 20th of March at Ramada Plaza. The event had an attendance of 1000+ people.
