Team Captain, Karla Grewar, is upbeat about SA's chances in their match against Namibia.

South Africa's all female team takes to the field today, 14 June 2023, in IESF's African Regional Qualifiers against Namibia in the CSGO esports title.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is hopeful that the experienced 2023 team under the expert leadership of Karla Grewar has had the ability to lead South Africa to victory and to earn its place at IESF's 15th World Esports Championships in Lasi, Romania in August this year.

South Africa takes on Namibia in DotA.

 

Suhail Khan, Captain of MSSA's Protea DotA Esports Team is confident of SA's chances against Namibia.

South Africa takes to the field today, 11 June 2023, in IESF's African Regional Qualifiers against Namibia in the DotA 2 esports title.

South Africa has much to prove after its 2022 defeat to Algeria which ended SA's bid to participate in IESF's 14th World Esports Championships.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is hopeful that its stronger and more experienced 2023 team will be able to polish the silverware and relegate Namibia (NESA). Suhail Khan has had the experience of leading the National Student Team in Russia in September 2022, as well as captaining the South African Protea Team in IESF's 2022 African regional Championships.

Namibia defeats South Africa in Mobile Legends Bang Bang

The Protea MLBB Esports Team - (from left to right) Adriaan du Plessis, Dewald Greyling, Leonard Loftus, Joost Loftus, Leone Loftus (Captain).

The international match held by IESF between Namibia and South Africa on 7 June 2023 as part of IESF's African Regional Qualifiers in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) esports title proved to be very much a one-sided affair.

Namibia showed the South African team no quarter and took the series 3 - 0 which was reminiscent of the 2022 defeat.

Even though the team fielded by Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA)was stronger and more experienced than the 2023 team, the team crumbled in the face of the Namibian onslaught.

The National Protea EsportsTeam for the Mobile Legends Bang Bang esports title consists of: 

Game titleName of athleteClub
Mobile Legends: Bang, Bang - OpenLeone Loftus (Captain)Masters of Mind Sports
Joost LoftusMasters of Mind Sports
Leonard LoftusMasters of Mind Sports
Adriaan du PlessisMasters of Mind Sports
Dewald GreylingMasters of Mind Sports

Of course MSSA is disappointed by the results, and it is heartbreaking to MSSA President, Colin Webster, to see South Africa not able to send a MLBB team to the 15th IESF World Esports Championships in August this year.

It is also clear that there is much to be done in this title to improve the standard.

Colin Webster, President of MSSA, stated, "All member clubs should pay special attention to the promotion and development of athletes in the MLBB game title. With the game being played on mobiles (cell 'phones) there is probably a greater access to the community which allows a greater number of South Africans to participate in the MLBB game title".

Excitement is at an all time high for African Regional Championships.

IESF's African Regional Qualifiers will determine which teams will participate in Romania in August 2023.

With International Esports Federation's (IESF) 15th World Esports Championships (to be held in Lasi, Romania) fast approaching, African National Federations are to play their regional qualifiers in order to determine which teams will qualify for the spectacular 15th World Esports Championships to be held in Lasi, Romania.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is one of the few national federations to have participated in every single IESF World Championships. 

IESF has divided Africa into three regions in order to take into account the poor infrastructure in Africa in order to ensure the best possible results and experience.

MSSA's National Team Manager, Johan van Breda, is confident that MSSA is putting forward its strongest esports team in the history of MSSA.

Johan stated, "The team is more than prepared, and it is likely that 2023 will see MSSA send its biggest team ever to IESF's 15th World Esports Championships".
