With the announcement by International Esports Federation (IESF) that DotA 2 shall be played at its 12th World Championships - Eilat - in November 2020, it is expected that there will be frantic activity in the game title as players jostle for position in order to be selected for MSSA's Protea Team.

It should be noted that all MSSA Regional, Provincial, and National Championships, as well as online championships and online leagues count towards selection to the national team.

Being selected to represent South Africa at IESF's World Championships is the highest honour that an esports athlete in South Africa can earn.
