Telkom DoGaming will this year be running a league for console games. Telkom already sponsors the country’s most established leagues for PC gamers, and is now looking to include a variety of console titles in its line up.
The console leagues will kick off in April and the following games will be played:
• Modern Warfare 2 (PS3 & Xbox 360)
• FIFA 10 (PS3 & Xbox 360)
• Forza 3 Motorsport (Xbox 360)
• Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox 360)
According to Telkom DoGaming Modern Warfare 2 will be played as a team tournament, Forza 3 will be played in 8 player races and Fifa 10 and Guitar Hero 5 will be played as single player events.
The leagues will adopt a round-robin structure with groups and pools.
Since games will be played online, a minimum 512k ADSL line is recommended to ensure that LAG does not damage the quality of gameplay. Players will also need a legitimate version of the game they wish to play in order to compete, as well as an active Xbox Live Gold account in order to play online.
Telkom DoGaming will release the official rule set for the leagues sometime before registrations are opened. League matches will then commence on April 5 2010.
It remains to be seen if Telkom’s console leagues will be as well supported as their PC leagues have. South Africa does have an active online console gaming community, making the leagues a promising affair.
