Forced onto the backfoot by poor ping and overseas servers, African gamers are getting creative in an attempt to play one of the biggest competitive games. In the second instalment of our gaming corner, we chat to some of the innovators.

Tristan van der Walt, one of South Africa’s finest Fortnite players, who represents multi-gaming organisation ATK, finished 19th on the Fortnite Champions Series back in August while playing on the Middle Eastern Server.

Van der Walt says: “In competitive Fortnite, you have to play very aggressively. The ping affects us in a way here because we are not able to close out fights quickly enough. Van der Walt and teammate Luke Vrdoljak have added a gamer from the Middle East to their team to balance the odds. This means they can lower their opponents’ health while their partner can run in on his low ping and close fights out. He can also help them to hold walls when their health has been compromised.
