3Crown won Garena's Free Fire Clash Cup Nigeria, taking home ₦4.4 million from a record prize pool of ₦8.2 million, marking the largest prize in Nigerian esports history. The tournament featured 128 teams, with only four advancing to the LAN finals held at Balmore Event Centre in Ikeja, Lagos.

The semifinals saw UnionX and Akatsuki face off, with UnionX defeating Akatsuki. In the finals, 3Crown swept UnionX 4-0 using strategic tactics to secure their victory.
