Laban Pilipinas! KDM and VF Lead the Charge as CrossFire: Legends Championship SEA Regional Stage Kicks Off

January 9, 2026 2 Min Read

The
battle for tactical supremacy has officially moved to the regional stage! The CrossFire:
Legends Championship (CFLC) 2025–2026 is now in its Southeast Asia (SEA)
phase, where the Philippines’ very own KDM and VF will go
head-to-head against the best teams from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and
Vietnam.

At
stake is a massive total prize pool of USD 70,000 (~ PHP3.9 Million) and
the honor of being crowned the first-ever CrossFire: Legends Southeast Asian
Champion. The tournament will culminate in an explosive Grand Finals on
February 8, 2026.

Following
its massive regional launch last December, CrossFire: Legends, the mobile
adaptation of the legendary FPS title, has quickly established a high-stakes
esports ecosystem.

The
journey began in November 2025 with the CFLC Open Qualifiers. Open to teams
from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, the top four teams
from each country advanced to the National Qualifiers, competing alongside
invited professional teams for a total prize pool of USD 24,600 (~
PHP1.4 Million).

After
a grueling National Qualifier round last December 21, which drew over 56,000
concurrent viewers during the livestream, KDM and VF emerged
as the top two teams to represent the Philippines on the international stage.

The
regional phase continues with the CFLC Group Stages, running from January
7 to February 1, 2026. Other teams advancing from the National Qualifiers
are EVOS and PRMX from Indonesia, eArena and FullSense from Thailand, TXD and
O2 from Malaysia, and EVO and HF from Vietnam.

Matches
are played using a mix of Best of One (BO1), Best of Three (BO3),
and Best of Five (BO5) formats, with more than USD 45,500 (~ PHP2.6
Million) in prizes at stake and qualification spots for the finals on the
line.

The CFLC
Semi Finals will be held on February 7, 2026, followed by the CFLC
Grand Finals on February 8, 2026, where the first CrossFire:
Legends Championship Southeast Asia title will be awarded.

2025–2026 serves as a key platform for showcasing Southeast Asia’s mobile FPS
esports talent within a structured and competitive regional ecosystem. For more
