against Egypt and Finland
in two IeSF Test Matches, the team has learnt many valuable
lessons and has been able to sort out many of the weaknesses
that they may have had.

It was clear right from the onset that the South African
team had the upper hand, although the Namibian team captain,
Johan Otto, proved to be no slouch and lead one defiant
attack after another.

However, the South African team brushed off the attacks
and slowly and deliberately built up their attack. By the
time that South Africa was ready, Timothy van Reenen
Mostert was almost unassailable on the field of play. With
Timothy working in close co-operation with Dylan
Henderson, there was little that the hapless Namibians
could do to stop the rampant South African team. As a
result, South Africa won both games to take a 2 - 0
victory.South Africa won the first game 37 -14 and won
the second game 48 - 30.

Not only that, but the game held at MWEB's MCave saw each
of the five South African player's earn their sixth cap.

The awarding of the sixth cap means that this team is
without doubt the most internationally tested Dota 2 team
that will depart South Africa for the IeSF's 6th eSport
World Championships in Baku.

Thanks to the governing Sports Body, Minds Sports South
Africa (MSSA) and the support given by MWEB Gaming , the
South African participation in such test matches is
becoming a regular occurrence.

With eSports now recognised as a fully recognised sport by
both SASCOC and the government, gaming is now taken more
seriously than ever before. Already gaming has been
included into the Asian Games by the Asian Olympic
Committee.
