Introducing the Fortnite Festival at Afresports
We are pretty excited to announce our Fortnite Festival at Afresports, and in doing so, we reveal that it will be the first custom lobby event for the title in Africa.
On 1 and 2 September 2018 at GrandWest in Cape Town, 64 PlayStation 4 competitors and 64 PC competitors will compete at once on their chosen platform for their share of R20,000 in cash.
This Fortnite Festival is possible thanks to MWEB and Internet Solutions who will be supplying the internet connection needed to ensure all players in attendance can enjoy their experience.
Cougar Gaming South Africa are also joining the action over the weekend with their peripherals, chairs and support helping make Afresports happen.
Over the two days of AfrEsports, we will be hosting both 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments on PlayStation 4 and PC. All the events will be bring-your-own and will feature a cash prize pool of R20,000. There is an entry fee being charged. Competitors can register for their spot at the event here:

This will be achieved via a number of secondary tournaments over the weekend aimed at those wanting to dip their toe into the competitive scene but who worry that only the ‘pros’ will be at the major tournaments.
A R50 Day Play Pass will be available at the door for those wanting to compete in a variety of smaller tournaments which will offer limited cash prize pools and products.
There is a free entry pass for those attendees only keen to spectate and support the event, its partners and vendors.
