DotA 2 - Registered Players who qualified at 'Gauteng' for National Team Trials.

Northcliff Educator - Noelene du Toit - awarding school awards to Northcliff esports players.

It is always nice to  see Northcliff High School do well in any event.
Northcliff High School affiliated to MSSA in 2009 and has been a very loyal member ever since.

The school has produced two members of previous Protea Teams (Robert Botha, and Ian Pillay)  and has always helped out whenever and wherever called upon to do so.

MSSA's 36th Gauteng Provincial Championships were hosted by Northcliff High School on 24 & 25 February 2018.

The Gauteng Provincial Championships have always been viewed as one of the most important championships leading up to MSSA's National Team Trials with the championships being the fourth last championship in which players may qualify for such Trials.

Five players in MSSA's 36th Gauteng Provincial Championships all earned their berths in MSSA's 2018 National Team Trials. 

The criteria to qualify for such trials all Registered Players that win a Regional Championship shall earn an invitation to National Team Trials.

Also, all Registered Players that score within the top 20% or top three places, whichever is greater, in a specific Period at a Provincial or National Championship shall earn an invitation to National Team Trials.

It should be remembered that members of the current Protea Squad automatically earn a berth at the National Team Trials (NTT) should they have met their obligations in terms of participation at MSSA events.
