Results - Western Cape Online Provincial Championships

 

Rafeeq Cariem (PES Society) of Cape Town

With Coronavirus (COVID -19) still holding South Africa in its pestilential grasp, Mind Sport South Africa (MSSA) is still unable to hold its LAN championships for all esports titles. As such the online option will remain the popular option until the member clubs have determined a suitable way forward.

The online provincial championship system ensures that its esports athletes are not compromised in terms of being able to qualify for provincial colours and for possible inclusion in South Africa's National Protea Team to attend International Esports Federation's 12th World Championships in November in Eilat later this year, MSSA created the Online Provincial Championships.

Esports athletes were able to play in the comfort and safety of their own homes and are still capable of competing on provincial, and even, a national level.

In such championships, Oakhill School continued to dominate most of the events consolidating the school club as the major force in esports in the Western Cape while PES Society has entrenched itself as the leading club in the country for Pro Evolution Soccer.

The winners of MSSA's 2021 Online Provincial Championships are as follows:

Title	Name of player/team	Club	Colours awarded
Clash Royale - Premier	Tom Seddon	Oakhill School
Clash Royale - High Schools	Ethan Bright	Oakhill School
Counter-Strike: GO	ZAG CSGO	ZAG Academy	Western Cape
FIFA - Premier	Jonas Lorse	Oakhill School	Western Cape
PES - Premier	Rafeeq Cariem	PES Society	Western Cape
Tekken 7 - Premier	Jonathan Brown	Team PlayBell	Western Cape
Sportsmanship Award	Rafeeq Cariem	PES Society

Gareth Heibner (PES Society) grabs pole position.

 

Naeem Thomas (PES Society) above dominated MSSA's 2020 SA National Championships.

Although Naeem Thomas (PES Society) won at MSSA's 2020 SA National Championships and took the titles of 2020 SA National Champion and that of 2020 SA Individual Honours, Naeem was pipped at the post by Gareth Heibner (PES Society) where the latter grabbed pole position in South Africa's official rankings.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has the distinction of having started its ranking systems back in 2008 long before any other national federation. Over the years the rankings have enabled MSSA to run efficient championships on a regular and consistent basis.
