Matthias Dhont (Paul Roos Gimnasium) takes pole position.

Good players often come from clubs with strong learning cultures.

The results of MSSA's 8th Online Inter-School Championships shook the tree and have produced new rankings for the HearthStone esports title.

The dominant position is now held by Matthias Dhont (Paul Roos Gimnasium), but has two learners from Grey High School (Geoffrey Tarbuck and Jason Mostert) yapping at his heels. 

Being the top ranked player does  not make life easier, on the contrary, it makes championships harder, but, as my father would say, it is all good for the character.

It will be interesting to see if Matthias can hold onto the number one spot as the year goes on.
