One of the leading Russian servers has now added Dota 2.
We have merged the best of both worlds — DotA 2 with the official client, minimal ping on Eastern Europe servers, games for ladder points, win-loss and win rate percentage is available for public view. From now on you will be able to know the skill of opponents and most importantly — the power of your allies.
Also, top 16 players of the season will have a chance to fight for the total prize of $5000 which will be raffled off at the end of the season.
- The season started: 22:06.2013 at 00:20 MSK (GMT +4)
- Server: iCCup (key is not required)
- Gaming system: Ladder
- Prize: $ 5000

This seems pretty cool. Is it likely to get big? I'm not that familiar with iCCup.

Yea iccup was HUGE in starcraft broodwar, not only did it prevent cheating but there ladder system was awesome. It ranked you and put you in different classes from D- to A+ and that rated your skill. I feel this will be big not only because is it impossible to tell what your teammates play level is, but you can never know what your real level of play is and see how you really rank among others.

I'm not plugged into the BW community, can someone tell me if ICCUP sucks or not?

Iccup was THE place to play BW for a very long time. Dunno about now but original BW servers where empty while everyone played on Iccup.

You can play 1vs1, 3vs3 or 5vs5. Which hero do you think is the best for 1vs1? :D
|
^bane is pretty fuckin obnoxious 1v1.
especially if soulring is legal.
|
Cool to see things converge before the release.

I played SC:BW and Dota1 and both was awesome. Dota1 had 90% russians but the service provided with ladder, matchmaking, ping and ranking was far above any other service but couldnt get a grip in the western scene, because you know, 90% russians ... :D
Everyone I told about the server and dragged onto it loved it.

As stated by some people, iCCup was pretty much a place to play BW Their Dota server was also pretty big, and hopefully this one will become too. Has good ladder and anti hack systems

Is there any point on playing on ICCUP if you aren't located in Eastern Europe? It seems like it is only useful to those in Russia/CIS.

Don't think so. Playing from other region = worse ping + communication problems most likely

skywrath and quas maxing invoker ?  I'm more interested in who will dominate 3v3, prolly heroes like Slark and weaver
also while this is definitly cool, I'd rather play on the real servers

Hopefully this will give the Russians a new home. I hear a lot of negative comments on their appearance on EU servers lately :\

Sounds really cool but are they doing this with Valve's permission or are these "illegal" servers like they were for BW. Since this basically goes against what Valve want (public MMR etc) and they basically shut down dotabuff for implementing an open MMR system, I wonder how they will take to iccup? I take it these games don't show up on your dota profile, so I suppose what you do in custom games is none of valve concern, but it would be interesting to find out what Valve say

quas invoker doesnt have any damage, you're playing a shadowfiend without razes or necromastery ;p
