With Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) 1st Gauteng Online Provincial Championships going to be played on 30 May 2020, MSSA has just released the latest rankings for Street Fighter V.

MSSA's 1st Gauteng Online Provincial Championships has the same status as all Provincial LAN Championships and shall be used in the Selection proces to select South Africa's official squads.

Having established his prowess at the game in MSSA's 2019 Online Schools' League, Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) has maintained his pole position by dominating the Street Fighter V esports scene.

The title will also be held in MSSA's 10th Online Schools' League which is still sponsored by NWU, and still has a bursary attached as first prize.

Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) was the winner of the MSSA's 9th Online Schools' League, winning the NWU bursary, and it almost looks like he is destined to win the bursary in 2020 - unless there is someone out there to stop him...
