Zaid Williams to represent South Africa in Clash Royale - Saturday, 7 February 2026

Zaid Williams (Dimension Gaming) is ready to do battle in the Protea Esports Team for the Clash Royale esports title.

Further to the article 'Clash Royale esports athletes may win a trip to Mumbai....', in which it was stated that Mind Sports South Africa had submitted its entry to Mumbai 2025 Global Esports Games (GEG25).

With the GEG25 World Finals to be held in Mumbai, India, from 26 February to 1 March 2026, first regional championships will be held to see who will go through to GEG25 in Mumbai.

Obviously there is not a great deal of time on our side.

Zaid begins his campaign with his first game at 17H00 against the player from Burkino Faso. Should he win, Zaid will go through to play against the player from Benin.

However, should he lose, he will drop down to the loser's bracket.

Either way, his second game will be at 18H00.

Should Zain win both his games on Saturday, 7 February 2026, he will return to do battle on Sunday, 8 February 2026.

Obviously the entire South African community stands behind Zaid and is, with one voice, cheering Zaid onwards.

 

Zaid's matches will be streamed by member club, Waylander Gaming on: https://youtube.com/@waylander_gaming
