African Esports Championships 24 (AEC24)

South Africa's Protea Female Counter Strike Team in the plush Sofitel Hotel in Casablanca.

Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) Protea Esports Team is safely in Casablanca, Morocco to do battle against the best in Africa to win berths in International Esports Federation's (IESF) World Esports Championships to be held in Riyadh later this year.

AEC24 kicked off with a grand opening ceremony on August 16th at the Complexe Sportif Mohammed V setting the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable event. Over 180 athletes from 17 countries are present to showcase their skills across three game titles in five competitions: CS2 Open, CS2 Women, MLBB Open, MLBB Women, and Dota 2.

Esports has been growing at an incredible pace worldwide, and now it’s Africa’s time to shine on the world stage. AEC24 marks a historic milestone as Africa’s first offline Esports championship, run by IESF as the first was run by CAES in 2008, which adds even more to the excitement. It will showcase the region's Esports growth, talent, and passion, offering a glimpse into the promising future of Esports on the continent. 

MSSA has sent 21 Protea Esports athletes to AEC24, and it is the biggest esports team to ever left South African shores to do do battle for South Africa, for honour, pride, and just a little bit of prize money....
