Telkom DoGaming<\/a> has announced that it will be launching a DOTA 2 Beta Cup for the DoGaming League 2012 season.<\/p>\n

According to DoGaming, there are enough local players already in possession of DotA 2 beta keys to justify hosting a beta tournament.<\/p>\n

The tournament will be designed to test the game\u2019s potential as a competitive title in anticipation for the full release later this year.<\/p>\n

DoGaming has also decided to allow international players to compete in the tournament as long as each team has at least one South African in it.<\/p>\n

Each team must consist of at least 5 players, and may have no more than 3 reserves. At least one player must also be allocated the title of team manager.<\/p>\n

The tournament itself will kick off on 7 March 2012 in a double elimination format.<\/p>\n
