What is CrossFire?

CrossFire is a tactical first-person shooter (FPS) game that shares some similarities with Counter-Strike 2. Both games feature realistic weapons and fast-paced gameplay. It’s especially popular in Asia, with Chinese and South Korean players dominating the professional CrossFire scene. Since it was released in 2007, it’s become one of the highest-grossing video games of all time, having generated more than $1.4 billion in gross income in 2019. This is despite the fact that the game is free, with most of the money coming through players purchasing content such as skins.

In CrossFire, matches are contested between 2 teams of 5 players. There are multiple game modes available, but in professional matches, the primary game mode is Search and Destroy. At the start of each round, one team will attack, trying to plant a bomb at one of the designated bomb sites, and the other will defend, either by preventing the plant or defusing the bomb. Either team can also win the round by eliminating all enemy players. At the end of the round, teams switch roles, and the first to win 10 rounds wins the match. If scores are level at 9-9, the match goes into overtime, and the first team to win 13 rounds wins.

History of Competitive CrossFire Esports

CrossFire was released by developer Smilegate Entertainment and publisher Tencent in 2007. As the game’s popularity grew, it was featured at the World Cyber Games between 2011 and 2013.
