Jessica Eleez Greeff is excited after the all-women Protea Counter Strike 2 Esports team qualified for the African Esports Championships in Casablanca, Morocco, in August, 2024. 

The 20-year-old Greeff captained Team SA also including Avonique van Rooyen, Megan van der Westhuizen, Kayhla Rose Calder and Christin Brazier, and the Protea team came up tops in the online qualifiers held in June. 

Team SA saw off stiff competition when Greeff led them to a flawless victory over both Kenya and Namibia, and the win means that Team SA have booked their place at AEC in Morocco this August. 

“After putting in so much hard work individually and as a team, we all are truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in Casablanca, and are excited to exceed expectations and put South Africa on the map,” Greeff told gsport after their big win.

The African Championships as hosted by the African Confederation of Digital Sports will see the South African women’s team battle against the best that Africa has to offer in their bid to secure a place at the International Esport Federation’s 16th World Esports Championships which shall be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, later this year.

Meanwhile, well-known online gamer Je’nielle Cavanagh and her all-women’s Protea Mobile Legends Bang Bang Esports Team were not able to join Greeff and her players, as they failed to qualify for the continental tournament. 

Nevertheless, there is redemption on the cards for the team, as they have a chance to qualify for the Global Esports Games to be held in China later this year.
