as long as iccup still has cheloman on there giving off randomly retarded orders and holding grudges like a woman there's no hope for any reasonable solution "work things out" with iccup's crap lol

I love how there is a comparison being drawn to KeSPA, when in fact it isn't anything more than an enforcement body, all the other things are just separate bodies which are just under their umbrella.

However a foreigner ranking would be quite interesting again, if it was done in a similar fashion to the former gosugamers ranking and managed to be maintained.
As for maps, BW always had foreign mapmakers, hiding over at broodwarmaps.net, but despite them making a few good maps. I see no reason for us not to use the korean maps. The koreans spend the time to make and balance them, not to mention showing us high level games on them, squandering that seems like a waste. Along with that comes of course the fact that if we want to practice with koreans we need to keep using the newest maps (this is a jab at iCCup for failing to download them and stick their ICC logo onto them in a timely manner...)

On this and the already 2 previous negative points:
There was not enough interest in such a thing at BW's height because of a lack of organization and community. Everything was spread out, and all leagues, servers, and teams were very capitalistic, therefore nothing was centralized and or overall productive. It was very entertaining, but BW has hit a constant population and centralization, therefore this idea would be more feasible in our current situation. Yes SC2 is huge. Yes BW was cut in half in population. But, the people who have stayed are not only loyal, but have a very intricately united state.

With that said, the idea is far fetched because no one is willing to work nearly as hard as KESPA did. The formation of such a thing would take ages given the low amount of people willing to contribute. Gosugamers had the closest thing to a foreign KESPA, and everyone LOVED it, definitely with my inclusion. I mean I really loved Gosugamers attempt at it, they inspired me to do a lot of things that I have done managerially in the BW community. Regardless, far fetched.

My advice: Start small (ranking system documenting matches etc) and get a following, and then if after that 6-9 months you still have the motivation and motivated staff to do so, more power to you.

It's funny you talking about BW players unity, since your camp and ICCup are practically at war with each other. I appreciate what you're doing for foreign BW community at the moment, and I also appreciate what ICCup is doing for foreign BW community. But you both need to sort out your problems first, which I don't see happening due to an ego clashes of epic proportions.

If EVERYONE was united and centralized like you said, I agree, things like this would be much more feasible. But no matter how small the community is, there will always be two sides and pointless fighting and bickering between them... which sucks.


I like how you insinuate that I'm doing something wrong by being tread on by an entirely private server. iCCup is not a public domain, stop pretending it is. And for God's sake, everyone stop derailing any thread I post in with a valid opinion with iCCup drama jesus christ. If I don't care about them, why the f*** do you?
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

I'm an absolutely awful player, but I've been trying since 05.
I'd love to see something like a BW community brought into light.
If there's anything I can do at all to help this come along into fruition, please let me know.

I've been working on casting, playing, writing match reports, etc as well in my spare time for some while now.

If nothing I can bring is of use, I of course wish the best of luck in this endeavor.
