Even as early as 1991, even though the sports moratorium was in place, MSSA tentavely started sending teams to international events. However, when the sports moratorium was lifted in 1994, MSSA started to aggressively send teams overseas for wargames, checkers, draughts, and morabaraba.
However, it was not until 2005 that MSSA started to send eSports teams overseas as the following schedule will demonstrate:

The sheer amount of man-hours committed to making these events work is mind-boggling.
Full credit must be given to those MSSA volunteers who have made all these events happen.
Based on the above, 2016 will be an interesting year.
WOnderful tournement,.
