Incredible Connection Drop The MSSA… Like It’s Hot

The Mind Sports South Africa failure has just lost their Incredible Connection sponsorship. Trevor Henry, the guy that started the connection between the two organisations has said that the main reason behind the decision to drop the sponsorship was because IC are taking a more standard approach to gaming.

“Each event will be judged by its own merits and our involvement will be determined by a number of factors including exposure, participants and scale of the event,” he says.

Unfortunately, we feel that this comment is slightly untrue — however, we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Off the record: I feel that this is untrue as it’s becoming a “We’ll support CoD” cash-cow, where other games with the larger gaming base do not receive any rewards. No further comments. Sorry.

Furthermore, IC did learn, and value, the MSSA sponsorship. The MSSA sponsorship could however be seen as an easy way into the gaming market. This has all changed as IC are looking to start their own little gaming world with competitions.

Should be exciting, right?

Well unfortunately, the excitement will only benefit certain gamers.

Lastly, we’d like to ask — where does this leave the MSSA? They are dropping in numbers, games and players. What’s next?
