"The reason why the MSSA opted to host in South Africa rather than to send a team to another event is two-fold. So many times a South African team is sent overseas to compete and to find that through insufficient support and funding, such team performs poorly and diminishes the reputation of gaming in South Africa. Also the teams that are often sent to campaign overseas do not share their knowledge upon their return to South Africa, mistakenly believing that the knowledge attained by them while playing in top level competition is to be horded and not shared.

In order to ensure an improvement of the average standard of gaming in South Africa, the MSSA encouraged team SK of Sweden to participate in the 2008 African Continental Computer Championships.

SK Gaming, although consisting of the top players in e-sports gaming, are renown for their efforts in nurturing upcoming talent and making them into the stars of today."
