South Africa eclipsed by Algeria

Suhail Khan, MSSA DotA 2 Team Captain, inspired his team to give their all during the gruelling match against Algeria.

Mind Sports South Africa's Team Esports South Africa's victory over Namibia put South Africa through to the finals of  IESF's African Regional Championships held on 29 October 2022.

Team Esports South Africa faced off against Algeria in the final round to see which country would  win the spot for the DotA 2 esports title at IESF's 14th World Championships to be held in Bali.

Algeria proved to be a very differet team compared to Namibia, and the South African DotA 2 Team under the able leadership of  Suhail Khan gave it their all. Team Esports South africa played harder than they had ever played before and fought over every point with true spirit.

Nevertheless, the Algerian onslaught proved to be to strong, and Algeria eclipsed Team Esports South Africa to win 3 - 0.

While obviously disappointed, Team Captain, Suhail Khan stated, " the Algerian team is a remarkable team, their timing was perfect, and they proved to be the better team." Suhail went on to say, " Team Esports South Africa salutes Team Algeria and wishes them all the best for IESF's 14th World Championships to be held in Bali."

South Africa demolishes Namibia in DotA 2

MSSA's Team Esports South Africa for the DotA 2 title.

With IESF's African Regional Championships having been plagued with issues, the actual off-line event to have been held in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) from 28 to 30 October 2022 having to be cancelled, IESF has had to fall back to holding the event online.

This of course poses many problems due to the size of Africa, which is depicted incorrectly on all standard world maps, the poor infrastructure, the high latency, and the dearth of servers in South Africa.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) had initially entered its Counter-Strike: GO team and Tekken 7 player directly into International Esports Federation's 14th World Championships to be held in Bali later this year.

This means that the other teams entered by MSSA being, PUBGM, DotA 2, and Mobile Legends Bang Bang, had to qualify for Bali through IESF's online African Regional Championships.

The match between South Africa and Namibia saw South Africa take control of both games from the very beginning. At no stage did the Protea team let up and Namibia struggled to inflict any real damage on South Africa.

The South African victory against Namibia saw South Africa move through to the finals to battle against Algeria for a spot at IESF's 14th World Championships to be held in Bali.

MSSA's official Protea DotA 2 Team is:

Colin Webster, MSSA President, enthused about the team saying, "South africa's team under the expert leadership of Suhail Khan is arguably the best DotA 2 team ever fielded by South Africa in an IESF event."

Webster went on to say, "MSSA is very proud of its team, and wishes it all the very best against Algeria".
