Battlefield 1 qualifies for Provincial and National Championships

Gamers at MSSA's 2016 SA National Championships.

As with every year, MSSA's  member clubs decide at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as to which games to include in the official line-up for Provincial and National Championships.

This does not mean that other games are excluded. On the contrary, any/all title may be offered at Regional Championship level. It is through such system that MSSA may gauge the popularity of any/all titles to see if such should be included at Provincial and National Championships.

The clubs deliberate long and hard, and all attend the AGM with directives  of their  members for which titles to vote.

At times the discussion got quite heated, and at other times, Council spoke with one voice.

The voting was done, and after the votes were tallied, the following games had been selected for MSSA Provincial and National Championships:

Period/genre	Title	Platform	Players
FPS	CS GO	PC	5 v 5
	Battlefield 1	PC	8 v 8
Sport	FIFA '17	Console	1 v 1
	PES 2017	Console	1 v 1
RTS	StarCraft II	PC	1 v 1
AOS	Dota 2	PC	5 v 5
