esports

Going into the fifth Hearthstone matches for the ESL African Championship this weekend, one player Algeria and one player from South Africa are firmly in control of the leaderboard.

Having played four games each, Menlyn from South Africa and Xspiritsama from Algeria are the only players on the leaderboard with nine points each, while the rest of the pack are all three points behind.

South Africa's MackyBoi is the only player that is yet to score any points. Madagascar's Henrilys, and Algeria's Saliom and OverGame are tied in the standings in terms of points with South Africa's Sythe and Simplez - all having won two games and lost an equal amount.

After this weekend's games, it will signal the halfway mark in the Hearthstone tournament, so there is still time for players to pull up their socks.
