This news has become new motivation for the teams competing in FFWS Indonesia 2024 Fall, who are struggling to maintain their hopes of qualifying as the fifth Indonesian representative in the Southeast Asia-scale international tournament with one week remaining in the Knockout Stage.

"The news that the FFWS SEA 2024 Fall Grand Finals will be present in Surabaya really adds motivation for not only me and Thorrad, but also for all the teams at FFWS ID 2024 Fall. As the host, Indonesia must win because we both adhere to the principles "Guests are not allowed to win here," said Thorrad's coach, Salman Alfa Risiy alias MANTED, in a statement received in Jakarta, Thursday.

The same thing was conveyed by Thorrad player Jonathan Cahyono alias JOJOOO15. According to him, this momentum must be utilized optimally to return Indonesia's name to the list of Free Fire international tournament champions.

"Basically, the FFWS SEA 2024 Fall in Surabaya, the Indonesian team must win. The last time Indonesia won when they were hosts (FFAI 2019). So, this time Indonesia must win too," said Jonathan.

FFWS ID 2024 Fall will soon enter Week 3 and the final week for the Knockout Stage. Teams that are able to finish in the top 12 of this round will qualify for the Point Rush and Grand Finals rounds which will be held in Sabuga, Bandung on 27-28 July 2024.

Not only for Thorrad, the Morph Team, which is currently ranked 11th in Overall Standing with a total of 210 points, also considers the presence of FFWS SEA 2024 Fall in Surabaya to be additional motivation in itself.

Morph Team Coach Laurentius Ade Putra alias LORENZ said Surabaya would be the right moment for him and his team to lift the trophy and make Indonesia proud.

"Hopefully the Morph Team is destined to win (at FFWS ID 2024 Fall) so they can play at FFWS SEA 2024 Fall as one of Indonesia's representatives," said Laurentius.

"The last time Morph Team took part in an international tournament, it was played in Indonesia but in a hybrid (Free Fire SEA Invitational 2023). I'm sure the euphoria in Surabaya will definitely be more lively, definitely bigger than the previous Surabaya for the FFWS ID 2024 Spring Grand Finals. "
