Gamers awarded SA colours
A group of local computer gamers will on Wednesday receive official South African Protea Colours for being part of the South African Protea Computer Gaming Team. The team is made up of Marc "Saidin" Bowes, Matthew “"SixiS" Hirst, Gottfried "Vivi" Roodt, Richard "DeMoNiK" Sjoberg, Heinz "Blizzy" Staschen and Christopher "Machine" van Riel. Team manager will be Ryan van den Bergh.
The team, regarded as the best DotA (Defense of the Ancients) players in the country, will take on Team SK from Sweden in an official test match on December 5.
The team will also take on all-comers in the DotA section of the African Continental Computer Championships which will be held on 6 and 7 December.
Teams from SK Gaming will also participate in the African Continental Championships as an opportunity for local gamers to learn from the best in Europe.
Since the Championships will be played over five rounds to the modified Swiss System, no less than five teams will get the chance to face off against the indomitable Swedes as they battle it out for the position of Champion of Africa.
