The ICCup Crew and ICCup.Gen have been working on a project the past few weeks and now they're ready — ladies and gentlemen, prepare for a new series of show matches: the ICCup Attacks!
ICCup Attack is a copy of other show matches, first started by the Koreans, later being done by Teamliquid. Each show will last for several hours and is going to feature one of the best foreign players. This player, our hero, will meet up with random players from our server. You can simply join a channel and try to get a game with him. Since the hero is quite good, he'll have to face several handicaps. We're going to force him to play silly strategies, use his off race or face two opponents at once. While the show progresses our casters (who will be announced shortly before the show starts) will be interviewing him live on the stream. Even if you fail to get into a game you can still forward questions — an event for everyone involved.
Our crew will prepare a number of handicaps, but that doesn't mean we're not open for suggestions. You can send us some of your ideas, things you'd like to see. If you want to force our hero to use something really stupid, like scouts only, or want to see how a good player tries to beat his opponent while only being allowed to use two production facilities each — this is your chance. Just make a post in The according forum thread, the best suggestion will be rewarded with a chance to play our hero. However, keep in mind that not every idea might be useful, it needs to be realistic. Try to meet following cirterias:
— Try to not include things we can hardly check, e.g. «he is only allowed to build one scarab per reaver» or «has to kill ten workers every five minutes»
— Try to not make it an auto-lose build, e.g. he has to go ultralisks off one base only"
— please do not include self made custom maps nobody has ever played before
In addition to the handicaps, we'll also want you to help us to create some hype. You might've seen them if you ever watched a Korean ProLeague match or an OSL/MSL — we're speaking of cheerfuls. Big signs the fans hold up to cheer for their players, usually pictures drawn, crude or super fancy, to show how much they care. You'll find a template below (right click, save as) you can use. Post them in The according forum thread — we'll be showing some of the best cheerfuls during or before the event, and the hero is going to pick the creator of the cheerful he likes the most!
Just a sidenote — it goes without saying that you should be able to join the channels/games live if you participate in these competitions. Also, make sure you can join games with more than one player and have no big lag issues. If you have problems configurating your router or your internet connection, feel free to ask for help in iccup tech forums !

This week's hero comes from Poland, the country of the blue eyed pro-Gamer, one of the strongest nations since like ever. He is not a nobody, he has been around for quite some time already, been playing in the highest clan league divisions, like the World Gaming Tour Clan League, ICCup Clan League and so on and so forth, back when StarCraft II was nowhere close to being published. After the Beta our hero never participated much in most of the Defiler Tournaments or other events, but he did support his teams in various leagues — where he impressed us with an especially good knowledge of how to kill the swarm.
This alone, his victories over the overrated bullshit race, is reason alone to tune in. After all — who can seriously not like anybody threatening the imbalisk race? Ladies and Gentleman, bigger up for Mazur !

Your punishment has just been upgraded to playing with chopsticks in left hand and oven mitt in right. Scissors are an acceptable replacement for chop sticks xD

I would add that i picked a special map in order to test your chopsticks micro skill, be ready !
Just a suggestion, as other people said, it's really hard to see who's going to be the guest, you gotta make it more visible, and probably somewhere at the beginning of the post, preferably not just in the normal flow of the text.
