02Why Lagos

Distance is ping.

Light in glass fibre covers about 200 km every millisecond, there and back. That sets a floor no server, router or upgrade can beat. Pick where you play from.

Harmattan, Lagos Where West Africans usually play Bars drawn to scale

Floor = 2 × great-circle distance ÷ 200 km per ms. Real cables take longer paths and every hop adds time, so your ping will always be higher than this. What no cable can change is the distance.

Great-circle routes. Tap a city on the map to pick it.
03Maps

In rotation.

Tier 1–2: beginner to intermediate. If it runs on Source 2, ask and it can go in.

    CS2 update notes

    • Working means a person joined and played on the exact CS2 build that's running.
    • After every CS2 update the server is re-tested before it says Working again.
    • Lagos has power cuts. The server restarts by itself when the power is back.
