Street Fighter V rankings

Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) being interviewed by the media on receiving the R30,000.00 bursary from North West University (NWU) in 2019.

The rush is on to see just who will qualify for Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA's) 2020 National Team Trials.

As South Africa's oldest and largest membership based organization for esports, MSSA has been consistently delivering championships for the various esports titles.

As a result, many esports athletes have earned Regional, Provincial, National, and Protea Colours for many esports titles  especially for the Street Fighter V esports title.

Thus, even though the Street Fighter V esports title is not played at IESF's World Championships, MSSA shall still selects Protea Teams for the title, which, at worst, play in online test matches.

The competition during 2019 proved to be fiercely contested, and with the 2020 season already underway,  in the form of the Online School Championships, Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) made his mark by winning the championship. Already having won MSSA's 2019 Online Schools' League and a R30,000.00 bursary, provided by North West University (NWU), it seems as though Theunis is on track to again take the laurels in 2020.

The current South African rankings for the League of Legends esports title is as follows:
