IESF's African Regional Championships - FINAL RESULTS - Tuesday, 29 July 2025.

Richard Henry (Captain) lead the South African Protea Esports Team for the PUBGM title to a very credible fourth place finish. The  final day of play can be seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQq6ZuoouYU

Even though Egypt lead from star to finish and triumphed over all, the South African Protea Esports Team for the PUBGM title battled on determined to give their best and uphold the honour of South Africa in this tough international championship. Seventeen African countries participated in total.

However, the standard of play of Egypt, Algeria and Morocco is just on a different level. Even though the three countries were disadvantaged by bad latency (ping), the skills that the three countries have honed by being able to effectively play on European servers meant that the three countries are almost untouchable by the rest of Africa.

Game 10 results!
Nevertheless, South Africa finished in a very credible 4th place.

The South African Protea Esports Team for the PUBGM title team managed to win game 10 in a championship where the majority of the 12 games were won by Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco. Winning game 10 was thus no small feat!

South Africa winning game 10, and finishing 4th overall, establishes South Africa  as the strongest African team barring the juggernaughts of  Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco.

The South African Protea Esports Team for the PUBGM title has thus improved on its 2024 position where it finished in fifth position.

There is obviously a lot more work that South African PUBGM athletes and coaches must do in order to raise their standard of play to equal, or hopefully better, the standard of play of Egypt, Morocco and Algeria.

The full South African Protea Esports Team for PUBGM is:

Anubis to represent Egypt.

Officially team Egypt! Proud of all the team and their amazing coaching staff! It's an honour for Anubis to become Egypt's first League of Legends team to make it to the World championships!
After overcoming a year of obstacles that was nevertheless filled with endless persistence, passion and perseverance, Anubis Gaming have won the Egyptian Qualifiers to the IeSF World Championship and as such will be the official League of Legends esports team representing Egypt. This would not have been made possible without the support of Anubis' sponsors Saib Bank and QDS.

Confederation of African eSports -CAeS

The Confederation of African eSports (CAeS) was founded in 2013.

Under the  Presidency of  Mohammed Saad (of Egypt), the confederation has grown from just three countries to represent six countries.

The six countries are Egypt, Ghana, Namibia,  South Africa, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.

There are also none other than another three countries in the process of applying for affiliation.

But what is the purpose of having such a confederation?

The most  important feature is that  the confederation is a non-profit association, so as such, it could one  day be admitted  into membership of ANOC.

More than that, as a non-profit association, it  is not owned by anyone. Thus what it does is for the benefit of the sport and not for any one person's profit.

The confederation too is able  to mobilise support for esports throughout the African continent, and develop Africa's vast untapped potential.

Ghana has an eSports federation!

First there was South Africa, then Namibia, which was quickly followed by Egypt, Zimbabwe, and Tunisia that created National eSports Federations.

However, now there is Ghana under the leadership of the ever energetic Ebenezer Kwesi Hayford.

The Ghanaian eSports Association, which is only one-year old and based in the city of Accra, has already successfully applied for membership of the Confederation of African eSports (CAeS) and is hoping to be accepted into membership of the International eSports Federation (IeSF) later this year.

With the inclusion of Ghana into CAeS, eSports takes another  step forward to be included in the All African Games and further helps create a greater awareness of  eSports as a fully accredited sport among African states.

The addition of yet another African State will also further help Africa compete on a wider international level.

Results table: Day 4: E-FRAG.NET African Qualifying Rounds

Day 4: An uphill struggle!

Day 4 of the E-FRAG.NET African Qualifying Rounds started well.

Despite the MSSA only being informed by the organisers of the fixtures on Friday, 7 August 2015, the MSSA had everything in place bto award the team its Protea Colours at the Old Edwardian Society on the morning of Thursday, 13 August 2015.

To even get to this point there had been a lot of negotiations between E-FRAG and the MSSA apropos the servers.

The MSSA always knew that the 'ping' would be a problem and was requesting at least a 'best of two' where one game would be played on the designated server in Europe and the other on a designated server in Africa. Although not perfect, by any means, the organisers of E-FRAG came back and stated that half the game could be done on the designated server in Europe and the other on a designated server in Africa as E-FRAG did not want to move away from the 'Best of One' for the African Rounds.

The SA team was fairly satisfied with this.

However, with the final presentation of the fixtures, the E-FRAG organisers did a 'volte-face' and advised the South Africa team that it would all be done on the European server.

On hearing this decision, the MSSA considered sending the team down to Cape Town to play from the MWEB MCAVE (at a cost of tens of thousands) to get approximately 30 ping less. The committee felt that such move would not really warrant the expenditure as the ping would still be quite disadvantageous to the team. The Committee even considered sending the team to London in the UK, but various factors – more precisely the lack of lead time given – prevented such decision from being effected.

Even the Tunisian team complained that such decision was not fair to the South African team.

Nevertheless, the MWEB Protea eSports Team for CounterStrike: GO behaved like absolute troopers.

Not one complained against an obviously biased decision and sat down to the business at hand.

Obviously the first game against Egypt did not go well despite the team 'sticking in' and giving it their all. For older readers, it was like rewatching Tobruk. Nothing that the South Africans could do could work as they battled against both the Egyptians and a ping of 200.

With ping of 200, the South Africans were firing at opponents who were no longer there, and to viewers it appeared as though the South Africans were just standing around. 

Needless to say, the South Africans lost the game 16 – 3.

After the match against Egypt, South Africa went into play against the front-runners, Tunisia.

Tunisia took every advantage of the awful ping being experienced by the South Africans and worked it like the stars they are.

The South Africans battled on, but were again severely hampered by the ping of 200.

The triumphant Tunisians thus romped home to a 16 – 1 victory!
Although bitterly disappointed, the South Africans, at their post mortem, under the guidance of Johan Heymans, expressed their determination to soldier on.

The mistakes were reviewed and the team put in some last minute practice for Day 5 when the team will face Morocco (13H00), Algeria (14H00), and Lybia (15H00).

The MSSA Committee to has looked very carefully at this type of competition, and has already put steps in place that should South Africa participate in an African Qualifying event again, to send the team to Europe so that at least the team will have a level playing field.

Until then, it is all uphill!

AFRICAN QUALIFIER SET TO START



The MWEB Team eSports South Africa has its work cut out for itself when the qualifier rounds for the spot to represent Africa at the 2015 World Championships for CounterStrike: GO begins on 10 August 2015.
Egypt, Morocco, Lybia, Algeria, Tunisia and South Africa are all located in the same group where they will play each other in a best-of-one format while after each team play five group stage matches only one will qualify for Global Finals in Belgrade, Serbia. Travel and accommodation costs are covered by E-FRAG.NET. 
Although the qualifying rounds for Africa begin on 10 August 2015, it is not until 13 August 2015 that South Africa will take to the field.
Thus South Africa will play all four of its matches on only two days!
Thus while some may argue that the MWEB Team eSports SA have an advantage in that they can see how the other four countries play, there is a great deal of concern in the South African camp apropos the effects of fatigue among the team members.
