| A jubilant Shannon "aw3some" Corran gives the thumbs up after South Africa's victory over Egypt! |
The clash between Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) Protea Counter Strike Esports Team and the Egyptian team was momentous and left not only the South African Team exhausted after the match, but all of the spectators as well.
The first game of the match was closely contested!
Neither side gave quarter and the match proved to be close, too close. Back and forth the teams tussled for supremacy. First Egypt lead, then South Africa would wrench the lead from the Egyptians, and so it would go on for the whole game.
Eventually, the score stood at 12 - 12. South Africa pulled it out of the hat by taking one more game forcing overtime. The last game had everyone on the edge of their seats. The score was 15 - 14 in South Africa's favour. It came down to four South Africans versus only one Egyptian. One-by-one the defiant Egyptian levelled the score, until only one South African remained. The final shot saw the Egyptian fall and South Africa take the game to claim a 16 - 14 victory!
The next game was far more clear-cut. The first game seems to have broken the spirit of the Egyptian team and MSSA's Protea Counter Strike Esports Team romped home to a comfortable 13 - 4 victory.
The victory has now placed South Africa in the final where the South Africans will once again meet up against the Tunisians.
South Africa played against Tunisia in the first round of IESF's AEC24 Esports Championship. In the first round match, Tunisia beat South Africa 2 - 1, and South Africa has the distinction of being the only team in IESF's AEC24 to take a game off against Tunisia. Tunisia beat all its other opponents 2 - 0.
Thus the final seems as though it will be a real humdinger...
Tunisia has everything to prove, and South Africa is looking for revenge...
The finals will be played on 21 August 2024 at 14H00.
