This move marks a significant step forward in providing South African gamers with a seamless, low-latency gaming experience that’s been long-awaited.
But that’s not all; Carry1st plans to take this partnership to the streets, literally. The organisation is all set to run player engagement campaigns across various cities in South Africa as part of the campaign. They’re not just bringing VALORANT to the screens but also to the hearts of South Africans.
Hasan Colakoglu, Head of International at Riot Games, couldn’t contain his excitement about this partnership, stating, “Serving our global player base is a top priority for us at Riot, and this partnership with Carry1st will make meaningful improvements in bringing African players a first-class VALORANT experience.”
For South African gamers, the opportunities are boundless. Carry1st will be hosting VALORANT in-person activations at Comic Con Africa from September 22nd to 25th in Johannesburg. This convention promises an immersive experience for all attendees. Gamers can not only learn about VALORANT but also participate in thrilling tournaments, and who knows, you might just be one of the lucky few to walk away with exclusive giveaways.
The launch of VALORANT’s servers in South Africa isn’t the only international expansion the game has witnessed this year. On July 12th, VALORANT made its highly anticipated debut in China, garnering widespread domestic success and taking another step towards global dominance.
As the campaign gains momentum, it’s evident that the gaming landscape in South Africa is on the cusp of a revolution. Carry1st’s partnership with Riot Games brings not only a world-class gaming experience but also exclusive opportunities for South African gaming content creators to shine.
