South Africa granted victory with Namibia being disqualified!

Jess Greeff, Captain of MSSA's Protea Female CS2 team, is determined to achieve better results at WEC25 than at WEC24.

On Saturday, 21 June 2025, Mind Sports South Africa’s Protea Female CS2 team, led by captain Jess Greeff turned out to take on Namibia at15H00 on 21 June 2025 in order to qualify for IESF's WEC25.

However it was not to be!

Although MSSA's Protea Female CS2 team was online on-time and ready to do battle at the appointed time Namibia was not ready, if fact they were not even all present.

However the IESF officials kept MSSA in the dark, and instead of immediately disqualifying the Namibian team at 14H45, at 15H19 such officials had the gall to ask the South African team if the SA team wanted Namibia to be disqualified, instead of following the rules and doing it immediately.

Part of being a sportsman is following the rules. It is the rules that  ensures no one has an unfair advantage. This allows victories to be earned through hard work, skill, and sportsmanship. Rules too maintain the respect and trust of fans, teammates, and opponents, preserving the sport’s reputation.

Without rules, there is no sport!

Whatever the reason for Namibia had to forfeit the game, (which recently showed a lot of swagger in a recent article), it leaves a lot to be desired.

Of course, it may be that MSSA's Protea Female CS2 team are the 2024 African Regional Championships and are very much a force with which to be reckoned.

MSSA is of the belief that the 2025 Female Protea Team for the Counter Strike 2 Esports Title is the strongest female Counter Strike 2 team to ever represent South Africa.

The full team that was represent South Africa against Namibia was:

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:
