Results of MSSA's NWU 13th Annual School League - 2022.


For 13 years, without fail, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has run its Online School League. While MSSA remains indebted to ASUS as the first sponsor of such league in 2010.

However, with MSSA's partnership with North West University (NWU), since 2019, the league has been elevated to new heights.

2022 also saw MSSA's NWU Annual School League become the richest school league in the country.

Not only can learners earn much needed funds for their school esports, but one such expert learner earns a fantastic bursary to the value of R30,000.00 to assist in his studies at the prestigious North West University.

Esports allows all schools to play on an equal playing ground as public and private schools battle it out against each other. With esports, gone are the days of wealthier schools dominating sports as esports provides a cost effective system for any school, whether in Cape Town or in Beit Bridge, to compete against each other without the huge travelling costs incurred by the more traditional sporting codes.

Of special note, is Dawnview High School which is the first school to enter a team comprising of both genders.

Such team took first place in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang esports title and all earned themselves Gauteng High School Provincial Colours in the process.

After fierce and gruelling competition between learners from around the country, the winners are:

Liam Moodley (Northcliff High School) hangs onto pole position.

 


The latest rankings produced by Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) for the Clash Royale esports title take into account all MSSA's 2021 Championships into account.

The rankings show just how dynamic esports as a sport is.

The 'Old Guard' is never able to rest on their laurels for long, as the younger, more hard-working, and dedicated athletes are quickly able to catch up, if not overtake, them.

With the ranking system based on the ELO system, all results are taken into account in official Derby, Regional, Provincial, and National Championships to give a comprehensive ranking which is then used in MSSA championships.

Such rankings will be used in MSSA's upcoming NWU Online School League to be played from 21 July 2021.

It is in MSSA's 2021 NWU Online School League that the winner will take home a whopping R30,000.00 study bursary for use by the winner at a NWU campus.

The current rankings are as follows:
