There's a free version of War2 on that site, and somebody is crazy enough to be currently pledging $2000 to the winner of a tournament in that game. The community has some real experience, but only about 200 players total, so if there are any top tier BW players that want to collect a big prize, I recommend checking this out.
This is the sixth annual tournament of this kind, and the tourney host has paid out the prize every previous time, but it's never been so large before, so I dunno... but I'm guessing he comes through... It's held the weekend of July 26-27.
I think anyone who's a top tier BW player would have a chance of winning it if they practiced. I don't mean just average good players, but if you know anyone who's a real stud at BW, you should let them know about this. There's only two real contenders playing in War2 these days, they're called Viruz and Swift, and I'd like to see someone come in and challenge them for this. Please share this with anyone who's got a high grade on Iccup or who was a BW contender in the past, because literally, War2 is so old and has so few players that a) we want new blood and b) someone could literally sweep in and win this thing.
Um wtf is up with those user names??? Most racist user base I have seen lol. Just about every user signed up has a troll or racial slur in their name lol wtf. Is this all legit?

This is being worked on at the moment. They are drafting the updated server rules:
1. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for violating them.
2. The account owner is responsible for any actions committed by an account, regardless of who committed the action under this account. Having your password stolen could be a reason to avoid the sanctions once for known persons who can prove his/her account ownership.
3. Cheating and server-hacking attempts are prohibited. Penalties: for the 1st time and repeated offenses: from a temporary ban to a permanent ban depending on the kind of cheating/hacking.
4. If someone requests a screenshot, one must be provided as soon as the game ends. Details about screenshots: http://server.war2.ru/about/screenshot-policy/ Penalties: warning for the 1st time, 1 week ban for repeating the offense once, permanent ban for repeated violation.
5. Offensive language of a religious, racial, or sexual nature are prohibited. Penalties: warning for the 1st time, 1 week ban for repeating the offense once, permanent ban for repeated violation.
6. To offend the dignity of others by using swear words, put-downs, and other statements against them, in any language, is prohibited, except for friendly trash talk. This includes chat messages, the user name and game names, personal communications, mail, etc. This includes "disguised swear words" - with the substitution of letters, etc., for offensive purposes. The purpose of this rule is to protect new and casual players from being offended. Penalties: warning for the first time, 1 day ban for second offense, 1 week ban for the third offense, permanent ban for the fourth offense.
7. Inciting server users to breach the server rules is prohibited. Penalties: warning for the 1st time, 1 week ban for repeating, permanent ban for more repeating.
8. Framing, intentional defaming or baseless accusations against server users is prohibited. Penalties: warning for the 1st time, 1 week ban for repeating, permanent ban for more repeating.
9. Using similar or same nicks of other players with the intent of impersonating them is prohibited. Penalties: warning for the 1-st time, deleting the similar accounts for repeating, 1 week ban for repeating, permanent ban for more repeating.
10. Using clan tags or imitation of clan tags in usernames is prohibited for non clan members. Penalties: warning for the 1st time, deleting the similar accounts for repeating, 1 week ban for repeating, permanent ban for more repeating.
11. Spam is prohibited. Penalties: for the 1st time and repeated: from warning to a permanent ban depending on the kind of spamming.
The penalties provided for these Rules violation: - Warning - A temporary ban - Delete an account - Permanent ban Penalties apply to all accounts of the violating person. Penalties can be amplified in the case of repeated violation. Repeated violation before the ban-time expires (if the offender was able to circumvent the ban) may also amplify the penalty.
Penalties could also be reduced after remorse at the discretion of server administrators.

Holy shit this is awesome! I had no idea there was still an active Warcraft 2 community, let alone tournaments! Wish I had time get involved in this. I only ever played a few multiplayer games of War2 in my life, but this was one of the best games of my childhood.
Does anyone know whether there will be any sort of streaming / VODs of the event?
From What I remember from playing, it doesn't seem like a particularly good game to have a 2000$ prize for, but I guess there's still some kinda reasonably skillish things involved.
Warcraft 2 is a hugely skillful game Xapti, there isnt much skill at the bottom newbie level though and it can look like random chaos, which you most likely the level you played at based by your comment. It needs to be played at a high standard for skill to be shown. Even starcraft would look totally skilless played by people with less then 100 games each.
I would rank it nearly at the same level as starcraft 1 for skill tricks and knowledge there is literally thousands of tricks to be learned, no one can master them all.
