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:
