Or else Blizzard might use that to shut down iccup... I can't imagine the horror. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

no.. launcher normally shows the iccup website but now that iccup website redirects to blizzard it just shows that lol oh and knowing how unprofessional iccup is and how retard the admins can be sometimes i wouldn't be surprised if they thought it'd be fun to fuck around with people while they're having a maintenance. | ||

#1 Hell has frozen over and blizzard retardedly shut down iccup and thus killed the entire sc1 scene. #2 Iccup 2.0 gogo? Maybe they're updating with some cool features and it takes some time to do it. | ||

They had that countdown and everything for the new site design, which was a complete waste of time as it didn't even implement any new functions in to the site and it wasn't even that much better for the eyes. | ||

They have put up all kinds of teasers, countdowns and what not whenever they decide to change something with the site. | ||

They pulled a similar stunt before. With "The End" on the banner and some kind of countdown and random mod death of icc hype thread. Needless to say panic ensued. | ||

This would really put all the nails in the coffin at once for sc. Iccup was the one thing keeping the community alive imo. I've tried to get passed the glory of playing vs people with skill by going on to normal b.net servers but for me I just can't do it. It's so boring. It's so lame. It's nothing. It's like playing chess in sand with imaginary pieces. | ||
