Mind sport in eMalahleni
MSSA is entering the national MWEB Protea Team in the World Championships for CS:Go which will be hosted by E-Frag.net, together with hitbox.
The eSport Board of Control has decided to add Counterstrike: Go to the MWEB On-line Championships that will be played on April 18.
The 14th Mpumalanga Championships will be hosted on May 23 and 24 at Hoër Tegniese Skool (HTS)Witbank.
MSSA needs to submit all 10 players’ teams within a short period of time, all registered players from all over the country stand a chance for qualifying for National Team Trials. On May 23 a financial general meeting will be held at HTS. Any teams that are affiliated to a member club may participate in the MWEB CS: GO Online Provincial Championships, whether they are a school team of even the most competitive teams.
The National Team Trials will be done as usual as a LAN event in the province from where most of the teams will have qualified. The venue and date will be determined after play at the Gauteng Championships. The trials should prove to be an interesting mix of senior, student and school teams as they battle it out for a place in the National Protea Team.
Keeping in with the MSSA’s rules, all the championships for a full calendar year, that is from April 19, 2014 to April 1 this year, count towards the 2015 Team Trials. Thus players who were in teams that finished in the top three, or the top 20 percent at any of the 2014 Provincial and/or National Championships are able to compete in the 2015 National Team Trials.
Ryan Boyes, Chairman of the eSport Board of Control and Manager of the Protea eSports Team, is confident that the online championships will give every interested competitive gamer the time they need to get themselves ready for qualification for trials.
