There's a snipers community that solely plays on a UMS map called Snipers Bald Locks and they've recently moved from US East to iCCup!
To welcome the new Snipers community that has recently moved to iCCup, we will be fully supporting the community in any way we can!
During this 1 month long tournament, the players who have signed up will have a chance to win $100. The top players of this tournament will be receiving the money when the tournament ends. There is NO SIGNUP FEE. It's FREE to PLAY.
THE LEAGUE OFFICIALLY STARTS ON JANUARY 20 27, 2014 AND WILL RUN UNTIL MARCH 20 27, 2014.
The snipers community is small as of 2013 so the reward isn't so «rewarding» as some would think. However in the future there will be more awards as the community grows!
Be sure to visit op TkO, op xX, op T6S, and op 3oDop Sniper to hang out with the snipers!
A bit off topic in regards to the league, but how does one's ghost shoot another ghost right away? Is it just an a-moving ghost or do players just have that fast of reaction to right click the opposing ghost.
There are mechanics in the game engine that makes the Snipers idea competitive. Basically if you're out of range and you ordered your ghost to attack me, I would move my ghost back out of range then back into range to attack you, which would allow me to shoot first. Here are good examples:
btw everyone is allied, you can't right click to attack

Rules say it's up to the players, if all agree then LAN latency is OK.
