Mortal Kombat rankings updated.

Joost Loftus (Masters of Mind Sports)

MSSA's 2018 Fezile Dabi Championships hosted by JCS Academy in Sasolburg on 27 January 2018 saw an increase in the number of participants in the Mortal Kombat XL esports title.

MSSA's 2018 Fezile Dabi Championships re-affirms MSSA's systems, as, even though Mortal Kombat XL is no longer played at Provincial and National Championships, it may still be played at Regional Championships.

With South Africa having 56 regions, it is thus possible for 56 Regional Championships to take place for such esports title - or for any game falling under MSSA for that matter.

Winners of Regional Championships are automatically awarded Regional Colours (based on the player's residency) and automatically earn a berth at National Team Trials should MSSA be looking at selecting a team for tsuch game.

Also, MSSA now allows any gamer, whether registered or not, to participate in a Regional Championships.

MSSA's 2018 Fezile Dabi Championships saw Joost Loftus climb to the top of SA's official rankings.

Joost is already a well known combatant and participates enthusiastically in MSSA's events.
