Muhtasari
- Africa is home to 54 countries, hundreds of cities, thousands of communities and one of the youngest populations in the world.
- Carry1st’s Call of Duty: Mobile tournaments in Lagos have shown that when competitions are designed around local communities, they attract players, spectators, creators and brands simultaneously.
- Before Africa consistently produces world champions, it must first build thriving local ecosystems capable of supporting players, organisations, tournament operators, game developers, content creators and commercial.
- The African esports industry should embrace regionalisation as a growth strategy rather than treating localisation as a secondary objective.
- But Africa’s esports future will almost certainly be built locally.
