LAFF 2025 Liga Ascensão de Free Fire Is Back and Ready to Shape Brazil’s Next Pros
All the Free Fire lovers who are keeping an eye on FF(Free Fire) esports in 2025 might have heard about both the Free Fire World Series Latin America and the Liga Ascensão de Free Fire. But here’s something important to know right away they’re not the same thing. These are two totally separate leagues, built for different regions and different levels of competition.
The LAFF 2025 is the official Tier 2 league in Brazil, while FFWS LATAM 2025 covers the top level competition in the rest of Latin America. Brazil runs its own system with FFWS Brazil as the main Tier 1 league. The LAFF acts as the stepping stone for amateur and semi pro Brazilian teams who are looking to break into the highest level.
What Is LAFF?
The Liga Ascensão de Free Fire, also known as LAFF, is basically Brazil’s return of what used to be called Série B. After taking a break for a bit, Garena brought it back, this time in partnership with Gamers Club. It’s now the official second tier league for Brazil. This league plays two key roles:
1. Scouting New Talent
LAFF gives rising players and lesser-known teams a place to shine. It’s where you go to prove that you’ve got what it takes to go pro.
2. Path to the Top League
The top teams in LAFF don’t just get prize money they earn a shot at moving up to FFWS Brazil, which is the elite Tier 1 league in the country.
How LAFF 2025 Is Structured
- Official Name: Liga Ascensão de Free Fire (LAFF)
- Region: Brazil
- Tier Level: Tier 2
- Organizers: Garena and Gamers Club
- Who Can Join: Amateur and semi-pro teams from Brazil
- Signups Open: Usually starts around August
- Main Goal: Qualify for the FFWS Brazil (Tier 1)

The Road From LAFF to Pro Status
The beauty of LAFF is that it creates a real connection between the amateur Free Fire scene in Brazil and the top professional circuit.
Here’s how it usually works:
Open Qualifiers
Any eligible Brazilian team can register. The open qualifiers are where the journey begins, and thousands of teams usually jump in.
LAFF Main Tournament
The top squads from the qualifiers earn their spot in the main LAFF event. This part of the tournament is structured like a proper league, and every match matters.
Promotion to FFWS Brazil
The biggest reward is not just about prize pools. The best teams at LAFF 2025 will either move directly into FFWS Brazil or play in a promotion relegation match against the bottom teams from the top league and this way the top tier scene stays fresh with new talent getting real opportunities.
LAFF vs FFWS LATAM
| League | Region | Tier | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAFF (Liga Ascensão) | Brazil | Tier 2 | Promote teams to FFWS Brazil |
| FFWS LATAM | Latin America (excluding Brazil) | Tier 1 | Qualify for FFWS Global Finals |
So while FFWS LATAM 2025 is focused on crowning regional champions and sending them to the Free Fire World Series Global Finals, LAFF 2025 is all about helping Brazilian teams rise through the ranks within their own system.
