DotA and Quake 3 then the Tournament Entrance fee is R42.00 x 2 =

hosting the event and used to cover costs. It is a once off payment to
participate in the event. MSSA LAN Championships are the only officially recognised

DemiGod Pre-Lauch Demo at MegaRom |

On Friday 17th April 2009, MSSA Officials were invited to a
special pre-launch demonstration of the computer game DemiGod. MegaRom, the
importers of the game, kindly arranged the event which included a hands on
'test drive'. For those of you who have never heard of this game before,
DemiGod is a Real-Time Strategy game that is heavily influenced by the popular
Warcraft III map; Defense of the Ancients (DotA). David Vannucci, Chairman of
the Wits Wargames Club was in attendance and wrote the following review on the Wits
Wargames Club Website.
On behalf of MSSA I would like to thank
MegaRom for the invitation and their hospitality. This is truly a fantastic
game containing all the aspects required for competitive play, making it a
viable candidate for inclusion in official MSSA leagues in the
future. |
