Is it legal to use modified hotkeys on Iccup ladder games?

No. Never in competitive play is that allowed.

I hear remapping capslock to ctrl through the OS works in Broodwar, so I imagine any remappings you want would also work.

Well, they do work; but the question is their legality on iccup.

Afaik, remapping keys is never legal in tournament situations and high level competitive play, and is most likely illegal on iccup too (or at least considered unfair/dishonorable if not outright banned).

key remapping was legal at all the WCGs I went to (including grand finals)

Koreans are cleearly not allowed to or all of them would do it. I assume that it isn't allowed, but there might not be any set rules yet that restrict hotkey reprogramming.

Of course, unless you played at a live event, no one could ever catch you so it would be easy to get away with.

It is extemely unsportsmanly to give oneself such an advatage, so in order to preserve integrity, I would not reccomend it.

EDIT: whoah it is legal? does anyone know any high level gamers that do it?
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

Its more of a convenience and play style then atv, SC2 will have it so why not be ready for it anyway?

How will anyone know if you remap your keys? If it can't be enforced, it's a meaningless rule.

Only at LANs can this sort of thing be checked.

It's more of an unspoken rule that people don't remap, but I wouldn't worry about it.

It should definitely be legal.

I play with customkeys for War3, and while it is a bitch to install at LAN events (need to paste a .txt file in to the root directory), it is totally legal.

speaking of, I wonder why nobody made a program to remap keys easily. I remember seeing how it was done years ago, but haven't seen anything since.

If it was more widespread, I don't see why it would be a problem.

Did anyone use it? I'm surprised, I know at most War3 tournaments it right in the rules that no remapping is allowed.
