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.
Silviu 'NightEnd' Lazar, of
Romania, who consistently finishes in the medals at the World
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.

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.
