2020 has been a pretty challenging year for esports due to the COVID pandemic. Social restrictions have caused a lot of tournaments to be either canceled, postponed, or turned into online events. Free Fire's biggest event of the year, the Free Fire World Championship, has to be cut into 3 smaller regional online series. Connection speed has always been the greatest barrier for online tournaments... and there is no way to host an international league between continents.
