Matthias Dhont (Paul Roos Gimnasium) leads the HearthStone rankings.

Hearthstone players at Paul Roos Gimnasium.

HearthStone is becoming more-and-more popular as a competitive esports.
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, as Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) uses a modified Swiss System. In such modified Swiss System, strength is always paired against strength in order to determine the final result.

With the effort that Paul Roos Gimnasium puts into esports, as it does with everything else that it does, it is expected that the school will continue to be a  major player in 2019.
