| Gamers in action at MSSA's 15th Free State Championships hosted by Fakkel School. |
Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has still a number of events to do.
The first of such events is the 14th Free State Championships to be hosted by Fakkel School, Sasolburg on 24 & 25 June 2017.
Readers might already know that Fakkel only took 8 athletes to MSSA's 16th Mpumulanga Championships, and with those 8 players earned 153 club points to shoot the school club into third (3rd) place overall.
Hosting the championships will give the school club a huge home-ground advantage.
