MSSA's blog page is ranked 9th in South Africa!

Colin Webster, President of MSSA, initiated the creation of the blog page as a tool to highlight the achievements of MSSA's athletes.

MSSA started the blog page in August 2013, and since then the numbers have climbed from a few readers a day to a staggering record of 33,000 readers on a single day with readership climbing to over 80,000 per month.

Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) blog carries articles pertinent to competitive gaming in all its disciplines in South Africa being historical figure games (also known as wargames), Board games (such as Backgammon, Diplomacy, Checkers, Draughts, Morabaraba, Sport Stacking, etc), Card Gaming, Robotics, Phygital Gaming, and eSports (whether they are played on ‘cell phones, Sony® PSP’s, personal computers or similar). 

Of course it has taken dedication, consistency and accurate reporting of events to attract such numbers.

According to FeedSpot, Mind Sports South Africa's blog, Esports and other Games, is ranked ninth out of 100 listed blogs. There is no surprise to those at the top, but it is surprising that many of mainstream media are listed below MSSA's blog. Even a sport like Cricket, cant seem to compete with esports...

When looking at blog pages for esports on a worldwide basis, MSSA's blog page ranks 21st  out of 66.

Because the blog is run by MSSA, any and all member clubs are able to have articles published on the blog.

Thus all member clubs are invited to send in articles for the blog page, and are welcome to highlight their achievements, sponsorships, strategies, events, and/or top players.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the efforts of the Board Members who run the blog page on a voluntary basis.
