Southern5 takes a commanding lead.

Four of the five Southern5 team members with their provincial colours.

MSSA's 15th Free State Provincial Championships shall be held at Fakkel School of Skills, 20 Jan Smuts Ave., Sasolburg on 23 June 2018.

Such championships count towards qualifying for MSSA's 2019 National Team Trials.

The current rankings to be used at MSSA's 15th Free State Provincial Championships take into account all the provincial championships played to date in 2018 such as the Gauteng, North West and Mpumulanga Provincial Championships.

The rankings show Southern5 as having taken a commanding lead over every other team in South Africa having earned more seeding points (540 points) than any other team since the official rankings were first introduced.

However, team 'TcR CS:GO' (Taccor Gaming) is right behind Southern5, and it will be interesting to see if 'TcR CS:GO' can catch up to the seemingly invincible Southern5.

The rankings for the Counter-Strike: GO esports title are as follows:
