High School rankings for DotA 2 are out...

Oakhill in game mode.

With the results of Mind Sports South Africa's NWU 9th Online Inter-School League having been processed, new rankings for DotA 2 for High Schools have been determined.

In order to protect the health and mental wellbeing of the learners, school teams all play from school, or at least another accredited venue, with an Educator (or accredited umpire) present. Such rules enforces good conduct and substantially reduces the risk of cheating. At the same time, the school is able to further promote its own ethos.

SAHETI retains top position, with Paul Roos Gimnasium and Oakhill College being in second and third position.
Paul Roos Gimnasium can be proud of their achievement in having two teams ranked in the top five. 

The rankings for High School teams for the DotA 2 esports title are:

Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) shoots into second place.

Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) has moved up the rankings to challenge Unathi Nsimande's (Empangeni High School) grip of pole position.

With the completion of Mind Sports South Africa's NWU 9th Online Inter-School League the rankings for the esports title of StreetFighter V have changed substantially.

Newcomer, Theunis van der Merwe of Hoërskool Klerksdorp, who was previously unseeded, managed to win every single round to earn his provincial colours and walk away with the title of  MSSA's Theunis van der Merwe (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) champion for the StreetFighter V esports title.

Theunis' win places him fractionally behind Unathi Nsimande (Empangeni High School) whop still heads the rankings. It will indeed be interesting to see a face-to-face match between these two juggernauts.
