What started as a dream for the Flyff community has now become one of the biggest annual esports and community celebrations in the Philippines. The Flyff World Championship (FWC) has grown into a global stage where guilds fight for honor, rewards, and pride—not just in the game, but as part of a passionate worldwide community.
Last year’s FWC 2024 Grand Final at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall was a true testament to this passion. Thousands of Filipino fans lined up around the venue, cheering for their favorite guilds as Team Astral and other contenders clashed in unforgettable battles.
This year, the legacy continues. FWC 2025 is set to happen on October 18, 2025, at Ayala Malls By the Bay in Manila, with an even bigger stage, a prize pool of over US$110,000 (₱6.3 million), and a stronger lineup of competitors.
Just before the clash for glory begins, the stage will ignite with an electrifying performance by KAIA, setting the perfect hype for the ultimate showdown!
