Withe Colin Webster having served on IOESF's Board from 2013 to 2020, the number of events specifically for females has grown in number. It was in 2018 that South Africa fielded the first all female Counter-Strike team at IESF's 10th World Championships - an act which many see as a forerunner of IESF implementing an all female Counter-Strike event at its 14th World Championships.<br /><br />It is therefore not surprising that MSSA has thus entered all IESF esports titles on offer at IESF's 16th World Championships - especially the female events.<br /><br />The esports titles entered by MSSA are:<br /></span><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Counter-Strike 2 (open)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Counter-Strike 2 (female)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">DOTA 2 (open) </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">eFootball (Open) </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (open)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (female)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">PUBG mobile (open)</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Colin Webster stated, "This is the largest entry that South Africa has ever made, and MSSA is confident that the 2024 Protea Team will be the strongest team ever to represent South Africa as the Protea Team'.</span></p><h3 align="left" class="western" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;

Schools are the breeding ground where champions are fashioned by schools that have the interest of learners at heart.</span></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white;"></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thus it is not surprising to see that many Protea Esports Teams that participated in International Esports events are learners.<br /><br />It is not unusual to find a portion of such teams to be learners. Team selection underpins Mind Sports South Africa's faith in promoting learners into the upper echelons and giving as many players as possible the chance to excel at the highest levels.<br /><br />2019 saw North West University (NWU) take a very active interest in esports due to the fact that only MSSA's school championships and leagues are official in nature in which players are able to earn provincial and national colours and has any form of official recognition.<br /><br />NWU's commitment has held firm over the years and has not wavered once.<br /><br />MSSA's school championships and the NWU High School League too have un strictly in adherence to the laws in South Africa and take into account the physical and mental health of the participants.<br /><br />Thus all games are played under acceptable supervision to prohibit unsavoury practices. As a result, age restrictions are enforced much to the chagrin of a number of recreational gamers. It must always be remembered that games exist within society's norms.<br /><br />MSSA is thus totally committed to ensure the validity of the event, the results attained, and the colours awarded.<br /><br />The esports titles to be played in all MSSA's school championships and leagues are as follows:</span></span></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" data-sheets-root="1" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Whereas the long running awards (like BAFTA) acknowledge the games themselves, MSSA's Management Board Awards acknowledge the contribution made by the very gamers/athletes themselves. <br /><br />MSSA's Management Board Awards were initiated in 2009 to reward excellence not specifically provided for in MSSA's Constitution.<br /><br />When reading through the names of those previously honored, the reader is quickly reminded of MSSA's rich history. The names are not just names, these are the men and women who have made an incredible contribution to the various mind sports in South Africa and even beyond South Africa's borders.<br /><br />The awards are now more representative of MSSA's membership, of the work being done, and of society as a whole.<br /><br />It should be noted by the reader that the categories for Writer<span style="background-attachment: initial;

Unlike traditional sports, esports doesn't require access to expensive equipment or facilities, making it more accessible to disadvantaged youth.
