IESF's 12th Esports World Championship - Eilat now set to December 6th - 12th, 2020.


COVID-19 has affected every aspect of our existence. 

Even esports has felt the brunt of the pandemic with face-to-face events having to be cancelled and/or delayed in favour of online events. 

Even International Esports Federation (IESF) has had to take these new realities into account with its 12th World Championships. 

Cautiously, but correctly, IESF has opted to run its 12th World Championships very differently this year. 

Regional qualifiers shall be done online with the finals being done as a 'real' event in Eilat on December 6th - 12th, 2020. 

 Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is the only national federation to have participated in each and every IESF World Championships in every title offered since 2009, and the only national federation that has had female team members in all MSSA teams, since 2012, that have attended, and participated in such IESF World Championships. 

However, it should be noted that no-one if yet fully aware of what lies in store in terms of COVID-19, and as such, dates may be amended to meet the demands of changing circumstances. 

 As soon as the Regional tournament dates are announced, MSSA shall advise all members accordingly.

The road to Eilat

Amanda Pakade, MSSA President (second on the right), and Johan van Breda, MSSA Team Manager (on the extreme right) pose with Israeli Esports Federation's officials after the announcement of IESF's 2020 host.
Mind Sports South Africa's Esports Protea Team (sponsored by EnerGHack, NWU, Partnermedia, and ZAG Academy) was present at the closing speech at IESF's 11th World championships on 14 December 2019 when the host for IESF's 12th World Championships was announced.

The announcement caught many off-guard.

The 2012 host is none other than the resort town of Eilat in Israel.

Eilat is a southern Israeli port and resort town on the Red Sea, near Jordan. Its beaches are noted for their calm waters, like Dolphin Reef, where the aquatic mammals are often spotted. Known for snorkeling and diving, Coral Beach Nature Reserve has buoy-marked underwater trails among fish-filled reefs. Nearby Coral World Underwater Observatory Marine Park has a glass-enclosed observation center submerged offshore.

IESF officials have alreaddy inspected the venue, and are more than satisfied that Maccabiah in conjunction with Israeli Esports Federation will deliver the best-to-date World Championships.

Israel has already guaranteed that all are welcome and that all shall have safe entry.

Mind sports South Africa (MSSA) is already gearing itself to deliver a team to Eilat.

MSSA has always delivered a full team to every single World Championships, and there is no reason why 2020 will be any different.

Off course the game titles have not yet been announced, and MSSA is confident that it will be able to field a team in every game title selected.

Thus the race is on to Eilat. Who will make it into the team?

The chips  are down, and now it is up to the personal dedication, determination, and efforts of those who have the will to make it
