        Kyle Vorster earns SA National Primary School Colours for Esports.

        Kyle Vorster (Monument Primary School) is the current SA Champion for the Primary School section for the HearthStone esports title.

        Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is of the firm opinion that, in order for esports to take its rightful place among the other established sports, the code of esports must be promoted at all school levels.

        It is with this in mind that MSSA holds championships for Primary School learners in those game titles which are age appropriate. 

        The titles that  are played at school level are:

        Period/genreTitlePlatformAge restrictionPlayers

        Kyle Vorster (Monument Primary School) has participated in official school events since 2019, and in order to maintain his standard and position of pre-eminence in the game is a member f the prestigious ZAG Academy.

        Thus it has come with no surprise that Kyle Vorster won the primary school section for the HearthStone esports title in MSSA's 2021 SA National Online Schools Championships which was held on 26 June 2021.

        Having won all his games in his section, Kyle has thus earned himself SA National Primary School Colours for esports.

        Kyle has cemented his place as one of South Africa's rising stars in esports.
