Published February 1, 2016

Wondering how your school did in the MSSA Online Inter-school Provincial Championships? Well here are the results.

MSSA’s 6th Annual Online Schools Championships took place on the 20th of February seeing schools from seven provinces battle it out for virtual supremacy. While there are some surprising choices in games, these results are no less interesting and provide a little bit of insight into how eSports are represented in schools.

On 20 February 2016 MSSA held its 6th Annual Online Schools Championships.

The championships involved schools from seven provinces, and many of the top private and public schools were represented.

Every year more-and more schools affiliate to MSSA, and many predict that within the next five years, the school online league shall involve more schools than any other sport.

Players were able to participate in CounterStrike: GO, DotA 2, FIFA ’16, HearthStone, League of Legends, StarCraft II, and Tekken Tag Tournament II.

The Online Schools Championships is the breeding ground for the National Protea Teams, and the schools championships allows players to qualify for the coveted National Team Trials which are to be held on 4 June 2016.

MSSA believes that the winning teams and players will go on to rattle the cages off the older teams, and thus provide the competition needed for South African gaming to improve upon its current standards.
