Meet MSSA's Selection Committee: Johan Uys

Johan Uys (Tuks Mind Sports) is without a doubt a most accomplished esports athlete.

In 2015, Johan earned his position as coach of the Protea Esports Team that attended IESF's 7th World Championships (Seoul) in 2015. Through Johan's expert guidance South Africa's Premier esports team finished in 12th place overall.

However, the lure of competition once again caught Johan's attention, and in 2016, Johan made it into the team as a player. The team performed well against some very stiff opposition, and at IESF's 8th World Championships (Jakarta) finished in 14th place.

Even though Johan is a highly competitive athlete, Johan is now on the Selection Committee in order to ensure that the highest of standards are maintained in South Africa's Protea Teams.
