Forged in battle - a Counter Strike story...

Shannon "aw3some" Corran, master and commander of the MSSA Protea Counter Strike Esports Team.

Late on the night of Sunday, 18 August 2024, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) officials, players and supporters sat waiting with baited breath as its open Protea Counter Strike Esports Team battled against Morocco.

This was the match that would seal the South African team's fate... Would they beat Morocco and get out of the group stage and enter the knock-out stage of IESF's AEC24, or would they  be packing their bags and waving goodbye to African Confederation of Digital Sports (ACDS) - the host -  and beautiful Casablanca?

The Moroccan home team put up a terrific fight, determined to represent themselves well in front of friends, family and supporters. 

Nevertheless, the South African onslaught proved to be too strong and Morocco's hopes and dreams of getting into the knock-out stage were shattered by the skillful and astute leadership of Shannon "aw3some" Corran.

Shannon "aw3some" Corran guided the MSSA Protea Counter Strike Esports Team to a masterful 13 - 2 and 13 - 4 victory over the beleaguered Moroccans.

With, now two victories under their belt (Mauritius and Morocco), the MSSA Protea Counter Strike Esports Team has moved int o the knock-out section to face mighty Egypt on 19 August 2024 at 14H00 (Moroccan time).


Every South African's hopes and dreams now rest of the skill of the brave MSSA Protea Counter Strike Esports Team to triumph in the face of battle and to do them and South Africa proud.

The Protea Counter Strike team consists of:
