DotA 2 - Learners who have qualified for National Team Trials.

The Paul Roos Gimnasium team (Team Schoeman) that finished in 2nd place at MSSA's 8th Online Inter-School Championships.

Although Bishop's College won at MSSA's 8th Online Inter-School Championships held on 10 February 2018, teams from Paul Roos Gimnasium seem to be threatening the aspirations of every other school team in the country.

It was at MSSA's 8th Online Inter-School Championships that fifteen more Registered Players qualified to play at MSSA's National Team Trials.

Many more gamers will no doubt qualify for such Trials at MSSA's 36th Gauteng Championships to be held at Northcliff High School to be held on 24 and 25 February 2018.

The criteria to qualify for such trials all Registered Players that win a Regional Championship shall earn an invitation to National Team Trials.

Also, all Registered Players that score within the top 20% or top three places, whichever is greater, in a specific Period at a Provincial or National Championship shall earn an invitation to National Team Trials.

It should be remembered that members of the current Protea Squad automatically earn a berth at the National Team Trials (NTT) should they have met their obligations in terms of participation at MSSA events.
