First in Battle, first in rankings.

Team FiB JNR remain in pole-position in the rankings.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) introduced the popular esports title, Paladins, into its official line-up for Provincial and National Championships due to its low age restriction.

The competition during 2019 proved to be fiercely contested with Monument Park High School winning much of the cutlery on offer, however, team 'BOO Implode' denied Team FiB JNR the honours at MSSA's South African National Championships.

BOO Implode are ranked in second place - but for how long?

Nevertheless, Team FiB JNR remain in pole-position in the rankings with a commanding lead.

With the gruelling 2020 season still to get underway, it will be interesting to see if Team FiB JNR will be able to maintain their position.

The current South African rankings for the Paladins esports title is as follows:

Pos	Name of Team	year	School	Points
