Hello guys,
If you are interested to play Cash Tournaments - ICCUP is the right place!
We are going to implement a new feature which allows you to register one of these Tours for 5$ or 10$, depending on the Event.
The prize pool will be the sum of the registered players fee, obviously more the players bigger the prizes!
Such prizes will be given in a fixed percent, to guarantee winners getting always the fair amount of moneys in relation of the number of players:
- Winner: 60%
- Runner up: 30%
- iCCup: 10% (Administration will keep a little percentage of the money in its online-banking account for further events without registration fee)
Register, vote and post your feedback on our forum News: Cash Tours with registration fee
Best Regards
|
I don't think it is a good idea for Iccup admins to be able to keep 10% for whatever reason.
|
i fully support this all the way! awesome idea

It says that they'll be using it for other tournaments that don't require a fee. Seems alright if people are willing to pay a fee to earn some money if they win.
As long as people want an incentive like money to stay motivated and keep playing, seems like a not-a-bad idea to me.

Great idea! I hope this grows.

So you want people to fund your tournament and as a thank you to them you'll retain 10% of the price pool so people can have the honor of playing on iccup's laggy server?
Why doesn't iccup take some of the money they are making from this http://iccup.com/en/store/category/6.html and fund it for a huge brood war tournament... actually why doesn't SC:BW have a proper button on their website navigation?

I think I will pay for a player to enter and then if they win split the winnings. It will be like having my own champion gladiator!

Umm...no offense but...At this day and age, if a person has the $$ to even host BW foreign tournaments, they will be hosting them through there own, or another custom bracket site, since it really isn't difficult, and give the winners more $, or more $ distributed amongst maybe a larger place pool as in 1st - 3rd maybe, this just doesn't really seem like it will work, judging by the amount of cash tournaments that are even hosted in the first place....
Hate to be a negative nancy but....IMO , this won't really work out so well.

I'm curious what kind of thought process lead you to make this post.
Anyway, two things need to happen for this to be awesome.
1) People need to actually play them
2) ICCup's 10% cut needs to actually be spent on events 
Seems like a good effort though.

Guys it's a good idea, whether it will be used or not is a different story.

I don't trust those sneaky russians. They let you buy points, which is really bad and proves that ICCup has no integrity.
I like this idea, though. I just hope that the money goes to some one who goes on TL, like Xboi or Face. Some one we can trust.
Also, when Birdie's server finishes, I hope every one moves to that so that we don't have to play on a server on which you can buy yourself to A-. I also hope that we'll have an ELO system.

it's good but i wouldn't put more than one dollar per tournament. 32 players 32 dollars seems enough for me.

Agree, I think buying ladder points makes laddering insignificant. Also, I think that you should pay money for some sort of iccup money points and use those to enter tours (5$ should get you into 5-10 tours). Then they could make some other way to gain iccup money points, i.e if you laddered over 500 games you get points, etc. Further, I believe you should be able to get specialized icons ONLY from the iccup money points. This way people would see a cool channel icon and wonder how to get it, and when they find out they have to pay OR play X amount of games then it will generate some effort/interest into the cause.

some ppl sure want their long tedious grind
|
OK... This would be actually perfect if there will be ranked based tournaments.
I mean, I wouldent sign up for a tournament where A+ players are playing because ID know Ill lose the 5 dollars (I mean, I might still sign up and pay the money, but rather less probable if I know 100% that Im not going to win).
It might be tricky in a few ways thou. Once you start paying a fee for enter, the rules of the tournament must be rock solid, and fair.
Even if its only 5 dollars, if due to an unfair rule or decision by an Admin a player looses their 5 dollars, it could mean a disaster for ICC.

If your skill level is A-, it's not really a grind. 10 wins (8 on motw) and you advance a rank. You can get your rank to reflect your skill level very quickly. It's the learning that is a grind, as with anything else.
The first time I got to B I had like 500 games played. Nowadays I only need like 80.

ok ok this is a good idea but i dont have credit card to donate via paypal , i can do it via bank account , any have a bank account for iccup in peru¿

Sorry if you guys don't agree with buying ladder points but don't blame it on the StarCraft administration, it really wasn't our decision and it came as a surprise to us as well.

It's only laggy for you due to the nature of internet(it has to travel from Russia to wherever you're living).
The iCCup Store helps keep iCCup afloat on its bills, not make these great tournaments for players to have fun in.

I realized that it came from the russian Kremlin DotA administration. Which is why I want you to move to Birdie's server! We need good administrators like you, and we need you free from the shackles of the corrupt ICCup federal government.
I really appreciate your work, but I feel like foreign Brood War is funded by dirty DotA money - russians who bought ladder points  . Like a school for disabled kids being funded by drug trade.
Edit: What I mean is that we are piggybacking off of DotA. That game is the reason the ICCup server is up, not Brood War. We have great individuals who do a great job, but I don't think we benefit anything from the main ICCup body except for a server.

C'mon guys, don't be mean. Sziky needs this money.

good! just need players to sign in!

vOdToasT, first of all this Birdie's server needs to exist.

hope to see more tours from iccup

- Cash Tour Feature
- This feature has been created by the iCCup Starcraft Head Administrators and it's reserved to BW Tournaments.
- The money will be guaranteed and managed exclusively by the Starcraft Head Administrators: iCCup.s0ldi3r and iCCup.Face, in the most of cases only by iCCup.Face since he will host the Tours.
- The Tour will be announced via SC Calendar via iCCup server and via TeamLiquid in time.
- The kind of Tours (opened to all, restricted by rank, restricted by real skills) will be explicitly written in the Tour Page.
example of non-allowed accounts restrictions for low skilled tours: (applied to all the accounts of the player signed)
— no previous season records (new accounts)
— previous seasons recorded with less than 20 games
— previous season records 1v1 over C- ( > 3999)
— previous season records 2v2 over B- ( > 6999)
- SC Points Feature
The "buy ladder points" feature exists, but it's not only limited to A- like some of you think, it's also limited at top200 which means you can't buy any rank over top200 (it was around C at the end of last season, actually is D+ 2951)
*will be edited to top100 soon limiting the access to C/C+ in any case (it's less during the season)
It's good for high skilled players who want to save time and jump the low lvl boring games. remember the max rank you will get is #101 so it's not something makes laddering insignificant.
- Special Icon Feature
Exists, but it's not directly managed by Starcraft Administrators and unluckily iCCup developers are not supporting us very well.
We were ready to allow users to buy icons for cash giving 50% to ICCUP and to keep 50% for BW events, but we had to give up not having the right support (the main problem is to add custom icons shortly)
If there are ppl interested we can make a similar feature directly managed by Starcraft Head Administrators allowing you to buy non-customized icons (100% of the moneys will be used for BW events).
+ Show Spoiler [SPECIAL ICONS AVAILABLE] +
Players who hit A- 1v1 and/or A+ 2v2 have the rights to ask for permanent special icon.

So I can ask for a special icon with any ID over A- in the past if it's on my history? Also, in terms of buying icons, I was thinking if you guys added more or you could modify your own (i.e like the clan tag icons)

Now it seems like your fishing for $. Why not as a test tournament, ask the owners of iccup that focus so much on dota, to host a 1 thousand dollar tournament with all the money they are making from dota.

Slow process... He is trying to do a trial for 1$, you can buy a drink at mcdonalds for the same price, if you don't want to play you don't have to pay. However, I am curious if you can do something to gain iccup dollars (i.e, event/accomplishments such as play 1000games = 50 iccup dollars or something, winners of icc-cl get some prize, etc). Nobody is trying to get rich from BW because it won't happen (unless you are a korean streamer) so any free money is always appreciated to those who will game anyway.

I understand what you're trying to say but what bothers me is that iccup itself doesn't really care about BW. Only the admins from the bw divisions do care. That being said i'm very skeptical giving any sort of money to an organization that can definitely afford to sponsor a tournament but just choices not to do it and still retains 10% of the money that people give them. While they pour in more and more money into the Dota scene.

You're mixing the StarCraft administration with the rest of iCCup together which isn't appropriate because of how seperated we are.
You're giving money to the highest authority in the StarCraft administration, and they can't afford to sponsor tournaments nor are they supporting DotA.

The "buy ladder points" feature exists, but it's not only limited to A- like some of you think, it's also limited at top200 which means you can't buy any rank over top200 (it was around C at the end of last season, actually is D+ 2951)
*will be edited to top100 soon limiting the access to C/C+ in any case (it's less during the season)
It's good for high skilled players who want to save time and jump the low lvl boring games. remember the max rank you will get is #101 so it's not something makes laddering insignificant.
- Special icon feature
Exists, but it's not directly managed by Starcraft Administrators and unluckily iCCup developers are not supporting us very well.
We were ready to allow users to buy icons for cash giving 50% to ICCUP and to keep 50% for BW events, but we had to give up not having the right support (the main problem is to add custom icons shortly)
If there are ppl interested we can make a similar feature directly managed by Starcraft Head Administrators allowing you to buy non-customized icons (100% of the moneys will be used for BW events).

Players who hit A- 1v1 and/or A+ 2v2 have the rights to ask for permanent special icon.

ok ok this is a good idea but i dont have credit card to donate via paypal , i can do it via bank account , any have a bank account for iccup in peru¿ ZancCo I'm sure you can link your bank count to your PayPal account. What about a test Tour (opened to all) registration fee 1$ Sunday? Now it seems like your fishing for $. Why not as a test tournament, ask the owners of iccup that focus so much on dota, to host a 1 thousand dollar tournament with all the money they are making from dota.
Your sources being which? ICCup doesn't really generate profit, neither for DotA, nor for any other title they feature. If you honestly assume that your assumption is true, then why doesn't TL throw a $1k BW tournament off their own money, why did other related portals like WGTour not spend their "profit" on giving it back to the scene?

I'm a little excited for these tournaments.
:D
I hope they are recorded. I also offer my services as a co-commentator. I am a much better commentator than I am player. I reached B+ as a player, but I swear my commentating is A- at least.
Call me.

Are you seriously comparing Team Liquid to a organization like iccup? TL has so done much more for the scene worth waaay more than a 1k tourney, And i don't remember that team liquid ever asking money from the community to fund their tournaments and then keep a 10% for themselves.

Yes. I'm not going into detail, I got the feeling you're just a bad troll.

Iccup has no obligation to follow anyone else's format. Complaing about this is just ridiculous. Iccup has determined this is their best solution to keep foreign BW active on there servers. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, at least they are offering a service. You, as a player and thinking human being, can use your decision making part of the brain and decide if this is something you want to take part in. Trolling and arguing does nothing but trash this TL thread. Are you intentionally hurting TL and their outstanding staff members?

I'm not trolling or arguing with anybody, All i'm saying it's distasteful for iccup to take 10% from the prize pool. Specially when they do so much for other games and so little for bw.

What's wrong with keeping 10% if the money is used for free to enter tournaments?
And ICCup DotA is not the same organisation as ICCup Brood War.

I honestly didn't know the iccup dota part of the site was even active. Dota2 is a free replica. What are people doing there? Lol. Must be purists like us.

ok ok this is a good idea but i dont have credit card to donate via paypal , i can do it via bank account , any have a bank account for iccup in peru¿ ZancCo I'm sure you can link your bank count to your PayPal account. What about a test Tour (opened to all) registration fee 1$ Sunday? Now it seems like your fishing for $. Why not as a test tournament, ask the owners of iccup that focus so much on dota, to host a 1 thousand dollar tournament with all the money they are making from dota. Your sources being which? ICCup doesn't really generate profit, neither for DotA, nor for any other title they feature. If you honestly assume that your assumption is true, then why doesn't TL throw a $1k BW tournament off their own money, why did other related portals like WGTour not spend their "profit" on giving it back to the scene? Are you seriously comparing Team Liquid to a organization like iccup? TL has so done much more for the scene worth waaay more than a 1k tourney, And i don't remember that team liquid ever asking money from the community to fund their tournaments and then keep a 10% for themselves. Iccup has no obligation to follow anyone else's format. Complaing about this is just ridiculous. Iccup has determined this is their best solution to keep foreign BW active on there servers. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, at least they are offering a service. You, as a player and thinking human being, can use your decision making part of the brain and decide if this is something you want to take part in. Trolling and arguing does nothing but trash this TL thread. Are you intentionally hurting TL and their outstanding staff members? I'm not trolling or arguing with anybody, All i'm saying it's distasteful for iccup to take 10% from the prize pool. Specially when they do so much for other games and so little for bw. What's wrong with keeping 10% if the money is used for free to enter tournaments? And ICCup DotA is not the same organisation as ICCup Brood War. I honestly didn't know the iccup dota part of the site was even active. Dota2 is a free replica. What are people doing there? Lol. Must be purists like us.
There are more people playing DotA than Brood War on ICCup. I played it there for a while and got to C-, but the community was rather terrible. It was a bunch of raging kids, half of which refused to speak anything but russian, unless it was to flame.

Is there a reason why there's no more brood war tab anymore? I came across this page by accident
http://iccup.com/en/starcraft/sc_start.html
I think there's going to be a brood war revival... It's a timeless game. Maybe not as big as Korea, but it can happen.

I also hope for the revival of Warcraft 2, it was a very good game.
Yeah! Let's blame the iCCup BW administration for not being able to fund a $1,000 tournament by forcing iCCup DotA to give money for no particular reason other than because they asked.
shenlong, provide us with a $1,000 tournament since it is very simple to host a tournament with that much money on the line. Or why not try applying to be an admin, climb up the ranks, and get the job done yourself? Much complain, so doge.

I think you misunderstood me, i don't have a problem with them hosting a tournament... It's fantastic that they are trying to get more action for the brood war scene. What bothers me is that iccup is taking 10% from the prize pool. Iccup dota/starcraft they are both one entity *iccup* even though they're different branches....

If they host free tournaments with prize money with the 10% as they claim they will, then they are not keeping anything. Everything is eventually paid out to players in the end.
You can distrust them if you will, but you can not criticize their given plan for keeping money, because it does not.

Yes, you're absolutely right, same way as the TLPD SCII stuff constantly fucks up the LP Brood War part of this page. God, I hate them. Especially zere plastering his nude pics everywhere!

What's wrong with taking the 10%?

- This feature has been created by the iCCup Starcraft Head Administrators and it's reserved to BW Tournaments.
- The money will be guaranteed and managed exclusively by the Starcraft Head Administrators: iCCup.s0ldi3r and iCCup.Face, in the most of cases only by iCCup.Face since he will host the Tours.
- The Tour will be announced via SC Calendar via iCCup server and via TeamLiquid in time.
- The kind of Tours (opened to all, restricted by rank, restricted by real skills) will be explicitly written in the Tour Page.
example of non-allowed accounts restrictions for low skilled tours: (applied to all the accounts of the player signed)
— no previous season records (new accounts)
— previous seasons recorded with less than 20 games
— previous season records 1v1 over C- ( > 3999)
— previous season records 2v2 over B- ( > 6999)
- SC Points Feature
The "buy ladder points" feature exists, but it's not only limited to A- like some of you think, it's also limited at top200 which means you can't buy any rank over top200 (it was around C at the end of last season, actually is D+ 2951)
*will be edited to top100 soon limiting the access to C/C+ in any case (it's less during the season)
It's good for high skilled players who want to save time and jump the low lvl boring games. remember the max rank you will get is #101 so it's not something makes laddering insignificant.
- Special icon feature
Exists, but it's not directly managed by Starcraft Administrators and unluckily iCCup developers are not supporting us very well.
We were ready to allow users to buy icons for cash giving 50% to ICCUP and to keep 50% for BW events, but we had to give up not having the right support (the main problem is to add custom icons shortly)
If there are ppl interested we can make a similar feature directly managed by Starcraft Head Administrators allowing you to buy non-customized icons (100% of the moneys will be used for BW events).

Why not as a test tournament, ask the owners of iccup that focus so much on dota, to host a 1 thousand dollar tournament with all the money they are making from dota. Slow process... He is trying to do a trial for 1$, you can buy a drink at mcdonalds for the same price, if you don't want to play you don't have to pay. However, I am curious if you can do something to gain iccup dollars (i.e, event/accomplishments such as play 1000games = 50 iccup dollars or something, winners of icc-cl get some prize, etc). Nobody is trying to get rich from BW because it won't happen (unless you are a korean streamer) so any free money is always appreciated to those who will game anyway. I understand what you're trying to say but what bothers me is that iccup itself doesn't really care about BW. Only the admins from the bw divisions do care. That being said i'm very skeptical giving any sort of money to an organization that can definitely afford to sponsor a tournament but just choices not to do it and still retains 10% of the money that people give them. While they pour in more and more money into the Dota scene.
i dont know where you got those ideas from, but nobody really makes money tih broodwar nowadays and ICC does neither. I would be suprised if the Starcraft division saw any money from the main administration at all. So, if you play a tournament and give 10% to ICC, your directly funding an event that they wouldnt be able to host otherwise.
