Top Esports Teams That Failed to Qualify for FFMIC 2025

Let’s now talk about the shockers, teams with massive fanbases and proven competitive records, yet disqualified from this year’s tournament.

These 12 Major Teams Failed to Qualify:

1. OG Elite (featuring Pahadi Bhai)
2. Jod One
3. Wipro Gaming
4. FX Esports
5. Team Shaka
6. Jijaji Ka Hotel
7. Team Max
8. Neon Ninja
9. Triple Two Esports
10. 4 Rushers
11. Gods of Elements
12. CS Gods

The biggest shock was OG Elite, previously ranked around #24, now missing from the final list. Other well-known teams like Team Shaka and FX Esports also failed to qualify, causing massive uproar in the community.

Why Were These Teams Disqualified?

Garena hasn’t provided an official explanation yet, but based on insider sources and community chatter, here are some of the likely reasons behind these disqualifications:

Possible Reasons:

• Smurfing – Players using multiple accounts to play from the same device.
• Age verification issues
• Teaming and unfair gameplay
• Documentation errors during verification
• Not receiving official verification emails from Garena

OG Elite, in particular, is believed to have faced accusations of Smurfing, a serious offense in competitive Esports, where players use alternate accounts to gain unfair advantage.

What Players Are Saying:

Many players and teams claim they never received any verification email or video call, a crucial step for qualification. If true, this could point to a major communication gap or system failure from Garena’s side.

Final Thoughts

The final list of FFMIC 2025 teams is exciting, especially with underdog teams stepping up. But at the same time, the lack of transparency and disqualification of reputed squads has left the community frustrated.

Garena must clarify why these 12 teams were removed and ensure fairness for future competitions. Otherwise, Free Fire’s competitive credibility might take a hit.

Should OG Elite have been part of FFMIC 2025? Do you think Garena owes an official clarification to the disqualified teams? Share your views in the comments and send this article to your Free Fire squad!
