Esports titles selected for all MSSA’s 2023 Student Championships
In 2022 Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) held its fifth annual Provincial Online Student Championships. The Student Championships formed the basis for the selection of the Student Championships for the student team that MSSA sent to Russia in September 2022.
Any student of any South African tertiary institution (University, colleges, and TVET’s) may participate, regardless of whether the institution is MSSA affiliated, or regardless if the player is registered, or not. Thus every student is afforded the opportunity of qualifying for the National Protea Team.
It may interest readers to note that the majority of esports athletes that have represented South Africa as members of the official Protea Teams have done so while being students at a tertiary educational institution.
However, it should be noted that only official teams entered by University Clubs affiliated to MSSA or the Sports Councils may use the tertiary institution’s name. Also, only Registered Players qualify for the team selection process.
MSSA’s Student championships allow students from all over the country to test their mettle against each other in an official championship that has the following benefits:
- Enable students to earn Student Provincial Colours, and
- Qualify for selection for the National Squad, and
- Earn medals. The medals earned are awarded at MSSA’s LAN Championships.
All the titles to be played at such event are:

Europe’s Largest Lottery Remains the Responsibility of WestLotto
The largest lottery in Europe remains the responsibility of WestLotto. At the general meeting of the 19 Eurojackpot countries, the state lottery company of North Rhine-Westphalia in Bled, Slovenia, was confirmed in its administrative leadership role for another three years. In addition, WestLotto managing director Andreas Kötter was once again elected as chairman of the world’s most successful lottery launch in recent years.
“The Eurojackpot is a European success story. We are proud to be significantly involved and to be able to continue our work,” said Andreas Kötter.
Since the first Eurojackpot draw in 2012, the threads for the Eurojackpot have come together at WestLotto. At the company headquarters in Münster, the tips from all participating countries are recorded and the winnings and odds are evaluated. In Bled, the total of 34 state-licensed lottery companies confirmed WestLotto’s outstanding leadership role so far in the gaming offering, which reaches around 325 million people in Europe.
After starting with state-licensed lottery companies from seven countries, the Eurojackpot cooperation has now grown to 19 nations. Most recently, the Greek company OPAP joined the merger in March. Germany is involved with all 16 federal state companies from the German Lotto and Toto Block (DLTB). The draws are carried out every Tuesday and Friday. According to the formula 5 out of 50 and the Euro numbers 2 out of 12, a jackpot of between 10 and 120 million euros is played.
