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


Is Valve going after IXDL, CDEC or other inhouses? All those use a non-valve MM and have public MMR as well.
The important part is that all those (as well as ICCup) are opt-in and not forced (which DBR was).

The only difference is that the others are using Valve's official servers while ICCup rather hosts the server on their own.
And afaik the files to host a server on your own are openly available.

You're still using the official client and it's just a system built around it.

Valve probably views leagues like this as free publicity and may even secretly encourage them. In a free-to-play game, anything that boosts the popularity of your game like iCCup is doing is a good thing.

If anything it would benefit Valve to support it and create a system where you could get key and item drops in systems like this as well. Because it only takes load off Valve's servers.

But that's not going to happen because it would be open to abuse.

Wait... key is not required... so it doesn't go through steam? how will it be patched?
The thing I love the most is the BW ranking system ^^

EDIT: Oh, so you download the game through steam and you can play with or without steam in the client. Also no matchmaking, you create and enter the games old-school way

I'm guessing key isn't required because they're running dedicated servers.

I'm guessing it's full of russians. ICCup is russian friendly.

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


I queue for US East-West only. Cyrillic and ellipsis' everywhere. One guess who gets rares at the end.

It would be nice if in the future they had 'rooms' like Garena, so you could play only with people from your own country or region (that would be awesome)

With Dota 2 having matchmaking I don't really see the point of this but good job I guess.
Also I tried playing DotA on iCCup a few years back and it was 100% Russian speaking players. Not really the best choice if you can't speak Russian.
