'Ice Trolls Gaming' has affiliated to MSSA.

With Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) having announced that it shall be hosting Call of Duty Mobile (CODM), a number of clans have taken on more formal organisational structures in order to affiliate to MSSA.

One such club is the Port Elizabeth based Ice Trolls Gaming. Under the chairmansip of Werner Human, the club has every intention of being crowned as the SA National Champions.

The lure of earning Provincial, National, and Protea Colours has seemingly captured the minds of their athletes.

Gods of War esport affiliates to MSSA.

 

The Port Elizabeth Gods of War esports club started as a mixed martials arts gym in 2009 and has since grown to be one of the biggest amateur events in the Eastern Cape. Due to COVID-19 the club was forced to shut down and all involved had to rethink what they were doing with their brand and their following. Gods of War has been on the forefront of social media marketing through the company 'Media Fanatics'. With a deep love for online gaming the club has wholeheartedly thown itself into esports in order to bring the same standard and commitment to esports. Gods of War has been instrumental in promoting Call of Duty Mobile as an official accredited sport. Ms. Amanda Pakade (MSSA President) stated upon the Board accepting the club into membership, "MSSA together with Gods of War will see CODM grow from strength-to-strength".

MSSA's Eastern Cape Provincial Director - Jeffrey Armstrong

Jeffrey Armstrong

MSSA's structure allows for a Provincial Director per province.

Such Provincial Director is the Tournament Director for MSSA's Provincial and National Championships held within the Province.

The Provincial Director is also the Provincial Team Manager for the official Provincial Teams and is responsible for the selecting of such teams.

Thus the position is a vital one, and needs to be filled by a person who is energetic and passionate about gaming.

Thus MSSA has co-opted Jeffrey Armstrong to fill the position. 

Born in Port Elizabeth and raised in Queenstown, Jeffrey knows the lie-of-the land. 

Having started gaming at a young age, Jeffrey remains enthusiastic about the benefits of gaming. 

Jeffrey spends some of his spare time as a cartoonist in my spare time but most of his free time goes to gaming and spending time with his son.

Jeffrey has already stated that his main goal as provincial Director for the Eastern Cape will  be to get more schools involved with Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA).

To get more schools involved, Jeffrey intends to help schools form new clubs and then to affiliate to MSSA. Already MSSA is the largest member based organisation for  gaming in South Africa and already has over 70 member clubs. 

Jeffrey too intends to be an integral part of MSSA's gaming channel which is soon to be launched.

MSSA has every confidence in Jeffrey. The Eastern Cape is in good hands.
