The iCCup StarLeague was a big success. We saw awesome games, had a great stream to enjoy, and winner

Yet... the 60 player roster, the 1000$ prizepool and a Youtube channel filled to the rim with VODs are only the beginning.The same people that brought you ISL1 are proud to announce...

- All disconnect and leave complaints must be sent in within 48 hours of the game being played.
- No smurf accounts. Your account must be played with your known ID in it. If you are found out to be smurfing, you will be disqualified and no further participation in the tournament will be allowed. If you are worried about which ID you should use, PM LRM)nOoNe at account ISL2_nOoNe on iccup.com. If you feel that not smurfing gives you an unfair disadvantage, you must appeal to LRM)nOoNe at account ISL2_nOoNe on iccup.com. We will then give you a predetermined smurf name. Failure to comply will lead to disqualification.

- In order for previous hackers or abusers to play in ISL2, they will need to provide certain things to LRM)nOoNe or Hakurei[AoV] which will be handled on a case to case basis if you qualify for the top 108. All discretion for this is held by the ISL2 Counter Abuse Team.
- No hacking or abusing. This is very very basic. No multiple or shared accounts. No letting other players on your accounts. No taking free wins from friends. No selling wins. No playing against your own account. If suspected of abuse, failure to comply with ISL2 staff will result in a disqualification from the tournament.
