        Lenel Human makes history.

         

        The position of a Mind Sports South African Provincial Director is indeed an important one. 
         
        With Mind Sports South Afica's Constitution mirroring the South African Constitution in many respects, the roles and duties of MSSA's Provincial Directors are vital for ensuring growth and development within the various 

        For the first time ever, a female, Lenel Human (aka MamabearZA) from Pretoria and the Co-Founder of BooGames, has been elected to the position of Gauteng Provincial Director.    

        Lenel Human and Team BooImplode joined Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) in October 2019 with their sights set on developing the gaming community in South Africa. In 2020 Lenel Human too successfully completed MSSA's Level 1 Umpiring Course.

        There is a saying that in order to get a job done, give it to a busy person. The saying is particularly true in the case of Lenel. 

        Lenel, is a wife, a mom of two girls, a graphic designer at night, and a labour law admin assistant at day. When she finds time to relax, you'll find her in front of her computer, gaming the night away, organizing gaming tournaments and socializing with people from all over the world. Bringing South Africa's local youth gamers together and promoting potential future of gamers in the country, is what attracts Lenel to the world of gaming. 

        Lenel believes in the philosophy: "To create gaming legends you need to provide the right environment for them to grow, experiment and expand."

        Lenel looks forward to making sure that Gauteng grabs all the esports opportunities in 2021, and will be developing players from all types of games to ensure that South Africa is represented by the best talent there is available. 

        Amanda Pakade (MSSA President) was overjoyed with Lenel's election and enthusiastically exclaimed. "Lenel is proof of how MSSA can accommodate all its members and provide a nurturing environment for all its Registered Players".

        Amanda went on to say, "There is no doubt that Lenel will help provide much guidance and direction for the Gauteng Province."

        'BOO Implode' hold onto pole position.

        From unranked to ranked 4th, 'Weeabos' is having a meteoric rise.
        Despite 'Weeabos' (BOO Gaming) taking first place at Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) Gauteng Online Provincial Championships held on 30 May 2020, 'BOO Implode' has still managed to remain at the top of the log.

         'Weeabos' has made history as it is the first team to use consoles to beat a team using PC's. Paladins is a multi-platform game title in which players may either use PC's or consoles.  The victory by 'Weeabos' will no doubt further fuel the long-time debate between console and PC users.

         From being unranked 'Weeabos' has shot into 4th place to become a main contender. Should 'Weeabos' replicate its victory in another such MSSA championship, the team will be at the top of the rankings.

         The full rankings for the Paladins esports title are
