Champions of all of Africa – Protea Female Counter Strike 2 Esports Team wins AEC24

The sun rose on 20 August 2024 on a day much like any other, but it was not, it is a day that will be remembered well into the future.

On this day, Mind Sports South Africa’s (MSSA) Protea Female Counter Strike 2 Esports Team took to the field against Tunisia to battle it out to determine which team would represent Africa at IESF’s World Esports Championships (WEC24) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 11 to 19 November 2024.

South Africa went into the match with the enviable record of not having lost a single game the entire championship. The South African team had won every game 2 – 0. The team worked like a well oiled machine due to the fact that all the team members all hail from the same club – ATK.

The first game, the Tunisians chose the Dust 2 map, and saw the South African team battle to find its feet as the Protea Team played a little recklessly. Nevertheless, the Protea Team still maintained control of the game throughout and won comfortably 13 – 9. Christin Brazier, was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) with most impressive statistics.

In the second game, the Protea Team picked the Mirage map, and found their groove. No quarter was given as the Protea’s literally forced the Tunisians into submission with a stunning 13 – 2 victory.

Team captain, Jessica Eleez Greeff, was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP).

With the stunning victory, MSSA’s Protea Female Counter Strike 2 Esports Team, has qualified for IESF’s WEC24 and are now the official champions of Africa.
