Titles to be played in official school Championships and Ladders

The St Stithian's League of Legends Team

On 30 November 2016 I wrote an article about which games were proposed by MSSA's member clubs to be played in the Online Inter-School Championships as well as in the Inter-School Ladder.

The member clubs sat long and the deliberations were sometimes quite heated as members debated the pro's and con's of each game.

However, by the end of the evening, the dust had settled and MSSA's Council meeting had agreed to accept all the games that were proposed.

This is the first time that VainGlory shall be played as an official title in South Africa.

VainGlory is a free to play MOBA perfected for touch.

Players may outplay real opponents in this deep, uncompromising real-time MOBA. Fight with lightning-fast controls using powerful heroes. Destroy the enemy Vain crystal and claim glory! Watch the preview video now to see real gameplay of 3-vs-3 multiplayer battles.

VainGlory is compatible with:

The first event for Schools is the Online Inter-School Provincial Championships which shall be played on 11 February 2016.

Any affiliated school may play in the Online Inter-School Provincial Championships and such event counts towards Provincial Colours as well as qualifying for National Team Trials. The same National Team Trials shall be used to select the Protea eSports Team that shall attend IeSF's 9th World Championships.

Meet MSSA's Stars: Johan van Breda

Johan van Breda

Johan van Breda is a student at the University of Johannesburg.

Johan broke into competitive gaming circles earlier this year at the Gauteng Provincial Championship for League of Legends.

Throughout his life nurtured an ever growing passion for gaming - especially those in the FPS and MOBA genre.

Having a burning desire to get more involved in competitive gaming Johan has the firm belief that the IeSF World Championships in Jakarta will be the first of many great adventures in this pursuit.

Johan realises to represent his country officially is a great honour.

Not only did he represent the country well in the Protea eSports League of Legends team, he did it in style and made all South Africans proud!

Johan too is confident that he will do even better in 2017.
