Rob ‘PandaTank’ Botha was able to take the StarCraft 2 Champions Cup in the third leg of the StarCraft 2 DGL which marks the second time he has won in 2012.

Interestingly enough, Botha faced off against a newcomer to the Champions Cup, Duncan ‘Skiblet’ Frickel who jumped into the First Division during the leg and made his way up to the finals. Frickel faced off against Magiel ‘enjoy’ de Lange in the semi-finals and was able to best him to make it to the final. Botha’s semi-final game was against Nicholas ‘strike’ Cheng who went above Travis ‘Shase’ Weedon after Weedon couldn’t play due to Internet problems.

The Do Gaming StarCraft 2 League is a 1vs1 event which puts players head to head against each other. Players are divided into divisions according to their previous DGL results. As the player improves, they move up through the ranks until they reach the Premier Division.

The culmination of the league is the Do Gaming League Championships, where players meet in person to compete for R50,000 in cash prizes sponsored by Logitech and three Alienware X51 PC's.

But this year promises to be a whole new kettle of fish with a myriad of new players to the DGL that have risen through the ranks while the more seasoned DGL players have picked up their game considerably.

Overall, prizes worth a half-million rand are at stake at the Telkom DGL 2012 Championships, the largest prize pool in the history of the DGL, with games including Battlefield 3, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Gran Turismo 5 and FIFA 12 on both Xbox 360 and PS3, in addition to Starcraft 2.
