Mind Sports South Africa’s (MSSA) 2023 Gauteng Online Championships held on 11 March 2023 showed sterling results.
The championship was a last chance for many esports athletes to qualify for MSSA’s National Team Trials to be held on 25 March 2023 at which the team will be selected to officially represent South Africa at the African Qualifiers which lead up to IESF’s 15th World Esports Championships to be held in Lasi, Romania in August 2023.
All Registered Players who have finished in the top three places, or the top 20% – whichever is greater, are entitled to enter trials.
However, it must be remembered that all players must have a valid passport at the date of entry.
It was indeed exciting to watch just how much all the female teams have improved.
White Rabbit Gaming Club’s (WRG) female team astounded all with their skill and sportsmanship. The team demolished all the female opposition and narrowly lost to the male team which ultimately won the premier event.
It is expected that the selection process for the esports title will be hotly contested.
Other female teams that excelled are:
- Roedean College – League of Legends, and
- Northcliff High School – Mobile Legends: Bang, Bang
The high standard of play saw a number of Registered Players being awarded Provincial Colours. Only Limpopo and Northern Cape did not have rRegistered Players who did not earn provincial colours.

The guests of the establishment have the opportunity to enjoy top-performing developments from EGT’s portfolio, including the well-known Premier Series slot cabinets P 24-24 Up, P 27-27 St Slim, P 42 V St Curved, as well as the G 27-27 St model of the General Series, for which this is the first installation in the country. The company’s rich gaming variety is represented by the multigame mixes of the Collection Series. In addition the players can hit even bigger winnings by trying their luck with the jackpots Premium Link, Lady’s Cards, as well as the absolute bestseller Bell Link. EGT’s casino management system Spider is also implemented to ensure that the organization of the daily activities on the casino floor will run smoothly.
“I am very happy that we have carried out this installation, which is the largest we have done so far in Congo,” said Lilia Georgieva, Director of EGT’s office in Tanzania. “I would like to thank Gaming IQ for once again placing their trust in us and accomplishing together another ambitious initiative that allows the gaming audience in Kinshasa to have access to state-of-the-art casino products with a proven reputation on a global level. I believe that we will quickly establish ourselves as leaders in the local market, given the excellent performance of our machines and games to date and especially the impressive results of Bell Link. By the end of the year, we plan to make installations in two more establishments of Gaming IQ in Uganda and Angola, and we will continue with more in 2025.”
Delcho Petrov from Gaming IQ also shared his positive evaluation regarding the collaboration with the Bulgarian company: “We are very happy that EGT has provided us with their top-notch gaming solutions for another of our establishments. I am confident that Caesars Casino will now unfold its enormous potential and become a preferred location for both the gaming audience in Congo and for players coming from other countries. Inspired by the magnificent outcome of our partnership to date, together we will continue to contribute to the modernization of the African gaming landscape and the transformation of local gambling facilities into world-class casino floors.”
