Shadow Esports has set a realistic target to maintain its competitive edge in Southeast Asia when it makes its debut in the Free Fire World Series South East Asia (FFWS SEA) 2026 Spring, which begins on Friday.
"The target is of course to win, but the most realistic goal is to avoid relegation or to remain in the FFWS SEA for both Spring and Fall," said Shadow Esports coach Janes Manao.
He explained that as debutants at the Southeast Asian level, the team believes the main challenge is not only the quality of the opponent's game, but also maintaining consistency when facing the pressure of regional competition.
According to Janes, the competition between Indonesian representatives was relatively balanced in terms of technical and strategic abilities.
He said the Indonesian teams' strengths are not significantly different, both in terms of micro and macro play. However, the potential for third-party attacks during territory battles or open battles during matches requires caution.
He further explained that discipline in executing strategy is a key focus that the team is continuously refining ahead of the opening match.
