Esports continues despite COVID-19.

Under Amanda Pakade's presidency, MSSA has adapted to the continuing pandemic.
Sadly Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has learnt today that even rAge EXPO has been affected by the virulent COVID-19 pandemic.

With all sport, and face-to-face, events in turmoil, MSSA continues to adapt to existing conditions. Already MSSA has held seven (7) online events to show the resilience and versatility of esports in these dark days.

MSSA has also decided to hold KwaZulu Natal, North West, and Eastern Cape online championships. The online championships do not replace the LAN championships, they are merely held as an auxillary championship to allow Registered Players continue with the process of qualifying for provincial colours and national team selection.
The new additions are:

  • 25 JULY 2020 - KWAZULU NATAL Championships
  • 8 AUGUST 2020 - NORTH WEST Championships
  • 5 SEPTEMBER 2020 - EASTERN CAPE Championships

Thus MSSA has released the following revised Calendar of events:
