              Saturday, 18 January 2025

              Esports titles selected for all MSSA's 2025 High School and Primary School Championships and leagues.

               

              Young Irene Banda (of Sunnyridge Primary School) is ecstatic that she now has reached age to play in official MSSA leagues and championships.

              The growth of esports starts at school level. Schools are the breeding ground where champions are fashioned by schools which have the interest of learners at heart.

              Thus it is not surprising to see that from time- to-time the entire Protea Esports Team, or even substantial parts thereof, that participate in international esports events consist of learners. One merely has to think of Avonique Van Rooyen a young learner at Hoërskool Oosterlig who is generally acknowledged to be one of the world's rising stars in the female CounterStrike 2 division. 

              Team selection underpins Mind Sports South Africa's faith in promoting learners into the upper echelons and giving as many players as possible the chance to excel at the highest levels.

              In 2024, the following learners represented South Africa as members of Protea Esports Teams:

              NameTitleWhere representedSchool
              Ryan CaoDotA2SochiCrawford College
              Howie ChenDotA2SochiCrawford College
              Reneilwe MaphasaTekken 8MoscowBenoni High School
              Aryan PillayDotA2SochiCrawford College
              Srivar PremjeethDotA2SochiCrawford College
              Avonique van RooyenCounter Strike 2Casablanca, RiyadhHoërskool Oosterlig

              MSSA's school championships and leagues too run strictly in adherence to the laws in South Africa and take into account the physical and mental health of the participants.

              Thus all games are played under acceptable supervision to prohibit unsavoury practices. As a  result, age restrictions are enforced much to the chagrin of a number of recreational gamers. It must always be remembered that games exist within society's norms.

              MSSA is thus totally committed to ensure the validity of the event, the results attained, and the colours awarded.

              The esports titles to be played in all MSSA's school championships and leagues are as follows:

              High School:
