Both ATK Trogonz and ATK Syco spots for the Fortnite Championship Series Middle East Finals, and will now compete in two heats leading up to the FNCS grand finals.

ATK Arena announced the news of the players’ success on Twitter. As you can see in the image below, Syco ended 19th in the FNCS Middle East qualifiers, while Trogonz ended in a respectable 40th place. For placing 19th, Syco also earned $200.

These players will now compete in the heats leading up the FNCS Middle East grand finals. Hopefully, we will see them in the grand finals, making South Africans everywhere proud and showing Epic Games our community deserves South African servers. No pressure…

If these players make it to the FNCS MEA grand finals, they will stand a chance to win their share of the $80,000 prize pool, which is roughly R1.4 million.

The FNCS MEA grand finals will take place on 15 August 2020, which you will be able to watch on the Fortnite Twitch.tv and YouTube channels.

You can stay up to date with the players’ progress by following ATK Arena, Syco and Trogonz on Twitter.
