Thanks for all your effort Game, you may not hear this enough, but it really was quite appreciated and encouraging to see that at least some people haven't abandoned all love for foreign Brood War. I wish you the best, and again thank you for all your hard effort, the community sure didn't make it easier.


However, whatever way you look at it, it's pretty preseuptous to think anyone in the foreign scene can host ANY sort of compettion without direct support from iCCup; I don't care about personal squabbles and nuances, if you want stuff to happen, don't anger the beast. People go on about power-mad dictators head-admins, well sorry if you don't like it just leave .... oh wait, you can't, because each and every fucking one of us uses the service iCCup provides. That doesn't mean you cannot be concerned about the direction the leadership is going and you can't express your concerns, but where the hell's the gratitude, the appreciation or the respect for an organization which is the one and sole reason why people can still play Brood War past D+ level?!

Personally, if I was an iCCup admin (casting here I come) with no background information on the story, I'd go with Paladin, with iCCup and with the survival of the foreign scene.

Ya need 'em, you can attempt checks and ballances, but don't infuriate them.

Not just for ladder, but for finding games with LL in a place that isin't a shit-hole.

I can honestly vote no in that poll. I haven't played a single iccup ladder game this season yet.

My experience on Fish/Brain has been 100x better than ICCup recently. Don't know why I even go back.

GL with life Game. Really appreciate what you did for the foreign scene.
@biTt.man
There are plenty of ways on how you can host a tournament without using ICCUP like hamachi, Bnet, garena, or even hosting your own PvPGN server

Disregarding your personality which certainly could use some improving to say the least, I must admit that you can organize a tournament. This is something that was desperately needed in these times for foreign BW community and it will be extremely hard to find another person putting up incredible hours of work with hard dedication to keep the foreign BW scene somewhat alive.

Also, props for enduring through the 3v3 BGH tournament, not many people have mental strength to deal with so many BGH players at once .

Iccup has been going down for quite some time already. The admin stuff and its stupidity makes playing on this server so obnoxious for every kind of player. I wouldn't care tho if Iccup wasn't the last bastion of foreign SC:BW that was keeping non-korean community alive for last few years.

You do realize that there are enough servers you could play on, but what truely made people stay within the game or even made them come back or play more active, were the tournaments hosted by Game, he simply used that server as a platform where most people have already been registered.

And the LL, you can go to any server and use ChaosLauncher, which is where the LL originally comes from. Just go to the fish or brain server or even USWest to find good games above D+ and oftenly probably even more friendly people.

edit: btw, to all of you who want to abandon iCCup, at least play in the ISL2, because that's all Game left for us right now, so iCCup can see that truely this event benefited them from the beginning, with getting more ladder games.
Because all I hear from all people is that the ladder sucks nowadays due to too few people.

Well this is unfortunate I guess even though I never liked Game's negative attitude, although people need to realize that Game is not the only person who can organize a tournament, and he wasn't the sole reason for keeping the foreign BW scene alive, it's the people within it.

Game, just as you said when referring to what you didn't boot Semih from the ISL, 'you need to hear both sides of the story' (light paraphrase), I won't go on a diatribe against ICCUP.

As Grobyc mentioned earlier, I don't personally care for you or your demeanor, but I can't say that I don't appreciate some of the stuff you've done for the BW community. It was nice to have foreign BW tournaments around. Good luck in your future ventures.

It was nice that you were working to keep the scene alive, but you've had a terrible attitude towards a lot of stuff, and this honestly seemed like just a matter of time. Regardless, what's said and done is past; good luck with your future.

As with other people in this thread I don't like you, but damn I respect you. BW will be a different place without you.

Iccup is honestly like a battle.net server these days, it's not needed. Fish is probably the best server followed by (if you are at least 1) active 2) not a smurf) west. Back to the original post, is this "quitting" synonymous with changing ID? I don't know if anyone ever actually quits BW...
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

Thank you Game for keeping especifically LRM in the top and the BW community active in the e-sports scene

This is a really bad news

Not a good choice by Palladin to ban you :S

EDIT: By the way, when I was iCCup admin these powerful and negative attitude by admins never happened, only with Cheloman... Maybe that's the black sheep
