TELKOM has pushed
in a huge cash injection of one million Rands (R1,000,000.00)
into the Digital Gaming League for the game title of CounterStrike:
GO and DotA 2.
This is a huge development in gaming in South Africa as it further emphasises the growth and continuing popularity of eSports in South Africa.
The growth of eSports should be of no surprise to anyone. eSports is probably one of the most accessible sports to the public, and in spite of the initial cost of hardware, still one of the most cost effective sports in which a person can partake.
Thus the growth of eSports in South Africa can clearly be seen at school level, where Mind Sports SouthAfrica's official league is showing exponential growth as schools clamber to get on board.
The growing number of gamers, and the resulting increase in competitiveness, has meant that South Africa can hold its head high in international competition.
South Africa's current ranking by the International eSports Federation is at 12th place due to the MWEB Protea eSports team that participated in the IeSF's 7th World Championships - Seoul.
