It still baffles me that this game is a Telkom DGL game, but Starcraft isn't

Would actually be interesting to see which has a higher player base.

Yeah I played it.... for about 2 hours. It's fun n all but in short bursts, I can't sit and play it for hours on end.

It is an issue of numbers..
You and I would say that each entry in a match should count as one 'head'. So 200 teams is 200 heads.
But Telkom reasons along another line..

Starcraft had 200+ players in SA when it was still a DGL game. But the beancounters argued that each player in a team matters. So where there were 300 teams for DOTA, all they saw was 1500 heads (300x5).

By that reasoning, no 1v1 game will ever compete to even the lowest of the team games.

That is just stupid rationality, but then again this is Telkom we talking about. Trust Telkom to mess anything up for the country.

Yeah, seeing as Starcraft is one of the games that made the DGL what it is today.
But here's the good news. A couple of groups have jumped at the opportunity to host their own Tournaments, knowing that the Starcraft Community will support them 100%. It is simply the seeds for a greater competitive space in SA

They swaped Trackmaina which was in DGL for Rocket League which are both car games i rate thats why also i think they changed it becouse RL requires a bit of team work and quite alot of skill when you playing at a higher rank.also its a hell of a lot of fun to play with mates
