Legacy of the Void® levels the playing-field!

Nathan 'StatiC' Anderson - one of SA's most 'capped' cyber-athletes!
The IeSF's 7th World championships to be held in Seoul from the 2nd to the 5th of November 2015 will be the first major championship in which StarCraft: Legacy of the Void® will be played.

The title Legacy of the Void® was only released in November 2015 by BLIZZARD.

Thus with the new tactics and stratagems that will need to be used to take the new units into account, MSSA is confident that even though the field at the IeSF's 7th World championships is full of some of the best gamers, MWEB Protea eSports Team member, Nathan Anderson should do well.

Championships, will again be present and will be just one of the players to beat. Silvui too is the only top international player who has visited South Africa. Silvui attended a test match in 2013 between Romania (Silvui 'NightEnd' Lazar) and South Africa (Robert 'PandaTank' Botha) in which Romania won two games to one!

This is the third time that Nathan will officially represent South Africa in international competition, and Nathan has a proven record of being able to adapt to new situations and perform under stress.

Nathan, like MSSA, feels that the new version has levelled the playing-field more than ever before.

Mind Sports South Africa is thus quite excited about Nathan's chances.

  1. Exciting! I think NightEnd has a very strong chance to win this year as he has been playing the beta a ton and doing well. But Serral, Has, Zanster, and Beastyqt are also the ones to look for.
