Types of eSports events run by MSSA

Gamers in action at MSSA's 2016 SA National Championships.

There is no other esports organisation in the world that does as many types of championships for its members.

MSSA works extremely hard in trying to develop its players so that the players may represent South Africa with pride.

It is through such hard work that South Africa has attained the international ranking of 14th position in the world, according to the IeSF. Being ranked 14th is no mean feat, and MSSA is determined to get even higher up.

Thus the school events remain MSSA's foundation as without a comprehensive policy at school level, the standard of South African gaming will never improve.

MSSA thus runs the following types of events for eSports:
