why not?
It could very well be maintenance, yeah.

RIP Iccup 
Edit: Didnt they troll us with something like this a couple of seasons ago? This is the End at the banner or something like that ?

C'mon. If ICCup goes down I'm going to go crazy. =(
Please get back up asap or at least inform us of what's going on.

let's hope this really is the case
btw, iccup doesn't have 'free online copies' of SC for download on their site or anything? Or else Blizzard might use that to shut down iccup... I can't imagine the horror.

Man, I just started playing on ICCup. Only got one match in so far where I got dominated by a 300apm terran T.T. There goes most of my chances of getting good at the game if its down for good.

yeah, it was down in 11h CET already (thats 4h ago). the page worked, not dunno.
it will be interesting to see if unk and the staff are having a blast or blizzard really did something (i doubt)

I love amount of jumping to conclusions in this thread.
As the OP says, drama in coming, so lets discuss it when it actually arrives.
On the free copies of SC issue, I'm pretty sure they stopped that a while ago.

uninformed panic is awesome

They do have free copies of starcraft, but they're only able to go on ICCup server, Euro, West etc all unavailable. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Yeah they did have free downloads of BW....
Can't log on to The Abyss just now...hope to god this is some maintenance and a joke by iCCup staff. If not I'm gonna be pissed.
God even the launcher redirects to Blizzard.com

This seems the most likely explanation to me.
"Why not?" was actually the first thing thought that popped into my head when it redirected to the Blizzard site.

iCCup.Del said "why not?" to immitate unk when people asked why the server was down and there was no explanation, after it had been announced by tesla that they had to perform maintanence.
