Local eSports Wiki

Earlier this week a Wikipedia page was created for the South African eSports scene by Robert ‘iNFy’ Hart, league director of the Do Gaming League. This page was created as a community driven project that any one can contribute to.

The goal of the page is to create, document and maintain the entire history of all things eSports in South Africa. This page includes information on players, clans, events, organisations and games.

“I created the eSport Wiki as a way to record and document our countries eSport scene. Can you remember who won the 2008 Do Gaming Championships? I sure can’t. Does anyone have any information on the Arena77 days? Today if you tried finding it on the net, you wouldn’t be able to.

The fact that such important information is not documented anywhere on the net is extremely worrying to me, and that is why I’ve started this project. The eSport wiki means that someone living in the year 2020 will be able to easily find the 2008 Do Gaming Champions by simply typing a few keywords into Google. It’s a time capsule that will gain historical value as the years pass by.” says Hart.
