Note: This is not a joke.
In the past couple of days, a number of important admins have left the ICCup team. These include myself, the head admin iCCup.nOoNe, and ladder super admin iCCup.yeszero. Tesla has also completely cut ties with ICCup, although she was already in a kind of ambiguous state as an admin. iCCup.09032010 and iCCup.astet have also left the team, but for different reasons than the rest of us.
There is no single cause of all this. There's been a lot of conflict and drama among the admins recently due to misunderstandings, differing values, and good old clashing of egos. Those of you who have been following my casts may even have seen some of what I'm talking about.
What this means for ICCup
The server will continue to run as usual. For regular players, you probably won't even notice much of a change besides slower response to ladder complaints, fewer tours, and possibly less help with things like changing passwords and such. Currently, a former head admin has returned to ICCup to pick up the pieces and try to re-organize the sections.
What this means for ISL
ISL will continue as planned. nOoNe and I will continue to do our ISL work, simply without the convenience of an admin tag/powers. ICCup as an organization wasn't actually contributing anything to the ISL besides providing the server to play our games on, so there's no real danger there. However, I was asked to stop using the ISL graphics created by iCCup.Geckoxp, so if there's anyone good with graphics out there who'd like to help out the ISL, please send a PM to me or Game 
I'm quite sad that it had to come to this. It was hard work, but I really enjoyed my time on the ICCup team. I really do hope that the people in charge can sort things out from here. If anyone has any other questions about what will happen with casting and such, I'll be happy to answer them here. I won't answer any questions about the details of what happened though.

a very sad day indeed... but bw is dieing and the same community is not there to support the admins.. so I did kinda expect it
|
I hate bad news relevant to BW.

I don't buy it, posting this on the shittiest day of the year, even if you don't seem the type to do this bad tomfoolery.
say it again tomorrow and i'll believe it then, and on the offchance you do, i'll not care much as long as you people keep casting and organizing stuff

That's 5 (/6) people gone. One already replaced it seems? Not to diminish these amazing admins' work by any means, but this should be fixable.
You should probably post this on iccup.com as well and link to that application form. I'll gladly help out if I can, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.
Other than that, thanks so much for your work to everybody mentioned! <3

This had to be posted on....April Fools?
I mean common if this was serious, you could have just waited one more day to ensure that people would take something absolutely serious and beyond all doubt.
I'm hoping its just a joke

I would have waited one more day, but I mentioned this on my stream yesterday and promised that I would blog about it for people who were curious. I also showed on the stream that my account was banned from ICCup as proof. Pretty bad timing I guess, but too late now :/

So, I guess iccup related shows are on halt?
Interesting(and sad) to see where this will lead.
|
I hope this is a bad joke D:
Live on iccup! Live on!

The only one that's in question is ICCup Clanleague. ISL will continue as I said, and no other events are really affiliated with ICCup.

I don't know what to think of it without any details, but I believe BW community will overcome any difficulties!

Is there any chance some of the admins will return?

F u. You come here in an already depressing blog and tell us that BW is dying. Have you no decency?
