It’s never easy to get an email at work saying that due to the recent pandemic, it is unfortunate that the company will have to temporary halt operations. Which ultimately means, we had to go home, and wait. Wait until something somewhere can happen, for that nightmare to end. Just like many of you out there, who find themselves with a leave, and plenty of time on their hands, we tend to try and make something happen with whatever we have or take our very own hobby and try and take it more seriously. 

This is exactly what happened. Unfortunately, Fortnite is a tough game to navigate on a competitive level. It has been a hobby of mine for the past year, ever since my wife got me a PS4 (which since then I have stopped using and went back on my Keyboard & mouse days thanks to my early CS1.0 days) But nonetheless, a hobby that I can maybe work with?

Considering EPIC games’ addition of a Middle Eastern Server, a community has risen, a very talented one, with incredible organizations, teams, events, players and so much more, but it was missing one thing… It was missing an un-biased entity, that can speak about the ME server community, IN ENGLISH. Why in English? Because, we think, the ME server community needs global attention, it needs a global reach, and the only way to get it, is by showcasing its news on a global level, in a global language. So we decided, to launch FortniteMiddleEast.com, an un-biased, un-exclusive entity paired with a 5,000 Member discord server and a newly established twitch channel, all coming together to create an ecosystem of support to the community. And we promise to support this ecosystem anyway we can, inclusive of everyone by giving attention to everyone.

We will cover news, profile teams, players, do interviews, giveaway skins, battle passes, host tournaments and scrims, and we will do our best, to uphold the reputation of our community, because this is a community that I and we are proud to be part of, not as a players, but as entertained spectators.

Middle East, We love you.
