The possibility of African Overwatch severs
Hi I’m an Overwatch player and live in southern African. I don’t know if im the only one but I have a hard time having fun playing overwatch due to bad connection. I have to play on EU servers as it’s the closest to where I live and all my games are around 200 ping . It’s not unplayable but I’m just trying to find out how come there aren’t any african secrets ?
Big games like call of duty, counter strike and Other FPS games all hare dedicated servers for souther African and there is a significant community who play those games . So I’m just kinda look to hear if getting support for souther Africa is a possibility if we bring enough attention to it .

We talk a lot about our infrastructure and want to continue to make it better. Recently we’ve been looking at additional locations in South America and Beijing, but we absolutely see threads about other regions like this one for South Africa.
Setting up a new location, particularly with a partner we haven’t used in the past, is a huge effort. We don’t have anything to announce now but will be sure to reach out to the community in the future if we do.
Cheers.
