Baber Abbas wins MSSA's Tekken 7 Online Provincial Championships.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has sent esports athletes for the Tekken esports title to four (4) IESF World Championships. The championships to which MSSA had sent esports athletes to officially represent South Africa were held in Cheonan (2012),  Bucharest (2013), Baku (2014) and Busan (2017).

In all such world championships, South Africa did well, and it could be argued that it is in the esports title of Tekken that South Africa has the best chance of earning a medal.

Thus the standard of Tekken as played in South Africa is of a particularly high standard. 

Nevertheless, Baber powered his way through his opposition to win with a perfect score. As a result thereof, Baber has once again earned provincial colours and a place at MSSA's National Team Trials to be held on 2 & 3 June 2018.

The results of the top three players in the Tekken 7 esports title are:
