I'm trying to figure out a way to get some more prizes directed towards that. My theory has ALWAYS been a player can gain more in my eyes by losing an amazing match than winning a boring one.

The ITL is about putting on great games first and foremost and I expect the same in this tournament which is why it should end up being one to remember!

Edit: Painuser is in. Just waiting for Axslav to confirm if he's playing so I can set up the brackets. If you knwo how to contact him outside of TL please do so! Ty !

They are the tournament organizer, not sponsor

And technically, ICCup and ICCup.TV are separate entities. ICCup.TV is the organizer, ICCup is a sponsor.

Might as well bring this up before someone else does.... brackets were randomly generated. The slew of mirrors is not intentional.

I got to admit even I was suprised! . RoboFerret rocks but I didn't know if the general TL population was drinking his kool-aid yet.

Sort of suprised by the lack of iNcontroL love, apperantly that's what you get for being a plat player!!!!! lol

Expect more custom maps coming into the later events for this, probably going to be staying away from them in the first one. But in future iCCup events we'll be using custom maps more so get a practicing. BTW is this here yet? :[

He's a pretty underrated player for sure, and always makes for an exciting game! But he's got a firm test in front of him with CauthonLuck.

I'm assuming that this will be casted by iccup themselves right? Any word on which games from the first brackets we'll be able to see?

Will there perhaps be a replay pack available when the tournament is over?

All of them! Every single game in this entire tournament will be casted.

Probaby not. But VOD's will be posted on the iCCup TV Ustream and they will also be put on the iCCup Youtube

Yea we keep that rule pretty universal even most of our own staff is not allowed to spectate. This rule is not just for this event but all iCCup TV and (now) Gosucoaching events.

Also I'm excited for tonight for the kickoff of the Grand Prix !

How do the brackets show who wins? Sheth just doesn't have to play a round 1 match because he was our ITL beta champion. He will have to play rounds 2 and onward.

TBH, this is actually a pretty big deal. Many people who don't check this thread would have no idea that this is going on right now if it's not listed on the calendar. This alone results in a difference of probably at least several hundred viewers, which is crucial for any sponsored event.

Catz just showed that you can have a lot of fun, play really innovative in competitive games (7 pool, proxy hatch, gold mineral first expo, ling/infestors vs protoss) and still win, and put up such a nice show.

Really Catz thanks for those games, i didn't laugh that much watching a replay since ages, and it was so entertaining. I hope Catz win the pimpest play since he really pulled it off, and i don't see anyone beating his proxy hatch ! :p

I'm done arguing about this. I talk to hundreds of players and your the only one that hates these maps because "macro maps are dumb" or w/e you told me. Macro wars are fun. Sorry you like your one base strategies, they are a blast to watch, but it's time to do some macro wars.

For the last time this is not about you. The sponsors pay because fans watch. Fans like "shiny new maps." You seem to think the show revolves around you and it does not. Be a man, and learn the new maps. It's not hard really.

O yeah and there's always the fact Lost Temple is a BW map (which you say all BW maps suck and this is not BW) and was a severely broken BW map at that. Why don't you bitch about that again?

Edit: Also don't forget it's the BW maps which show the mapmakers on our team what works or does not. In the long run it will only help.

Now I know why people always complain of how you misquote, tell lies, and take things out of context. I never ever said anything close to "macro maps are dumb". Glad you have no idea what your talking about.

I don't think it is I was simply saying I didn't like the maps but if you want to throw out misquotes and plain lies FINE. I never said BW maps suck, but BW maps in SC2 which is a completely different game with completely different mechanics is retarded especially since most people have played each of them maybe 1-3 times. I said Lost Temple can be abused same way in SC1 with terran drops/cliffs etc. but it was still wayyyyy better the maps your putting in the tournament.


Sure in the long run there will be custom maps made by people who know what they are doing and they will be really good for the game, but as of right now taking SC1 maps and throwing them into SC2 like "its np" is retarded.

Please come with truth next time you try to "quote" me.

Huk, just enjoy the new maps. They can't be as bad as some of the maps were for zerg. Besides your good, just win off skill. And it's never smart to BM the tournament creator and host. Diamond I like the new maps! Hope you guys can work it out!

I honestly had more respect for you man, i was a little suprised you'd even react this way.

The community WILL make better maps than blizzard. It has happened in the past, and it will happen in the future.

iCCup has given the opportunity to a group of map-makers to continuously come up with new maps. Only a portion of these maps will ever make it into a pool of competitive maps used in tournaments. Is this about perfection on the first go? No. It it never perfection on the first step, or the second or the third.

However, custom melee maps are drawing on the mechanics players are used to, and paying attention to mechanics blizzard has ignored. You even admitted yourself your victim to the entire army on one hotkey... and you can get away with this on Blizzard maps. You cant get away with that on a larger more macro orientated 1v1 map.

It is unfortunate that you would degrade not just the maps, but iCCup and the map making community because you may or may not have lost a couple of games on a custom map. Tbh I dont know why you have the animosity towards the maps and frankly it astounds me.

I saw a game between qxc and antimage a couple of days ago on a custom made melee map based of of the scout distance in cross positioned LT. It was one of the best games i had ever seen.

The process is only beginning and it is a high caliber player like you who is eating out of blizzards hand now that they determine map pools that would draw something as important as the community input into balanced maps down. Blizzard being in control doesnt make them any better at making maps and you know that. If I were a high caliber player like you, well known in the community, id do a 180, grow a pair and work with map-makers in stead of complain.

You wanna do something constructive. Go check out our map threads and if you see something you think has potential. Help test it, help balance it. Do anything but come here and say "sad fail" on our first try.

OK, one long post later. This i understand a little more.

And you could have put it this way to start with, but you don't think BW remakes have a place in SC2.

I can understand why you would think that. They are different games and SC2 has added completely new mechanics.

Some players frankly really enjoy a BW remake because of the nostalgia they have for it, so this at the very least should be respected. Also, a cometitive BW re-make is a natural first step for the map making community in SC2.

Again, if you dont think BW remakes belong in SC2 lets make a point of it by getting you to help test other custom melee maps that we /iCCup Map Team/ are throwing together.

This isnt a joke incontrol I happened to know that two people were playing previous to your post, due to someone spoiling that to me previously, then you post that shit which means that if you're serious you just spoiled the entire half of a bracket for the person who has to cast the tournament. Thanks a ton dude, care to do the other half too?

I never said BW maps suck, but BW maps in SC2 which is a completely different game with completely different mechanics is retarded especially since most people have played each of them maybe 1-3 times. I said Lost Temple can be abused same way in SC1 with terran drops/cliffs etc. but it was still wayyyyy better the maps your putting in the tournament.


Sure in the long run there will be custom maps made by people who know what they are doing and they will be really good for the game, but as of right now taking SC1 maps and throwing them into SC2 like "its np" is retarded.

Please come with truth next time you try to "quote" me.

OK, one long post later. This i understand a little more.

And you could have put it this way to start with, but you don't think BW remakes have a place in SC2.

I can understand why you would think that. They are different games and SC2 has added completely new mechanics.

Some players frankly really enjoy a BW remake because of the nostalgia they have for it, so this at the very least should be respected. Also, a cometitive BW re-make is a natural first step for the map making community in SC2.

Again, if you dont think BW remakes belong in SC2 lets make a point of it by getting you to help test other custom melee maps that we /iCCup Map Team/ are throwing together.
I'm all for introducing new community made maps into tournaments, but you guys really should take things slower than this. If players, like HuK, can't support innovation for whatever reason then that's only going to hurt the map making community in the long run. Take it slow, we don't even understand the game properly yet and when you decide to introduce new maps into a big tournament make fucking sure they're functional - else you'll end up with FAOIFAOIFAOI again.

This iccup map making team is a bit of a joke to be completely honest with you. You can't design good maps without an understanding of how the game works. The top players barely understand how the game really works and strategies are changing weekly. How can you design good solid competitive maps when things are so volatile? Realise that foreign mapping already has a large negative stigma from broodwar and that foreign mapping (i.e. non korean) causing controversy in events is just going to hurt it's credibility in the eyes of the spectators, players and other tournament organisers.

neways we've had this discussion before glad you decided to do what you wish to degrade gameplay for "shiny (new?) maps"


I'm done arguing about this. I talk to hundreds of players and your the only one that hates these maps because "macro maps are dumb" or w/e you told me. Macro wars are fun. Sorry you like your one base strategies, they are a blast to watch, but it's time to do some macro wars.

For the last time this is not about you. The sponsors pay because fans watch. Fans like "shiny new maps." You seem to think the show revolves around you and it does not. Be a man, and learn the new maps. It's not hard really.

O yeah and there's always the fact Lost Temple is a BW map (which you say all BW maps suck and this is not BW) and was a severely broken BW map at that. Why don't you bitch about that again?

Edit: Also don't forget it's the BW maps which show the mapmakers on our team what works or does not. In the long run it will only help.


Now I know why people always complain of how you misquote, tell lies, and take things out of context. I never ever said anything close to "macro maps are dumb". Glad you have no idea what your talking about.

Having one tournament out of hundreds to test new maps is not that bad, although I agree that it would fit better in a small tournament, since they haven't been tested yet and we don't have that much understanding of the game.

the iCCup map team is putting a lot of effort and their maps are well done, I'm excited to see how their maps, specially the BW versions, are going to work with SC2.
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

esunited.net is slowly catching up with all the VODs from the ITL: Grand Prix.. However, I'm happy to announce that all the Round 1 games have been linked into our VOD library so it's easy and convenient to browse.

Check out the Round 1 VODs: HERE

I'll be updating the video library with the rest of the games as time permits. Be sure to also checkout our Global Gamers SC2 Invitational VOD library as well! There is tons of content to come in the following weeks with the continuation of the GG SC2 Invitational and Socal LAN 5. Commentated VODs, player interviews, blog posts, etc.

Stay tuned guys!

This event has concluded, but I just wanted to let everyone know that all the VODs (minus Grand Finals and 3rd place) has been posted. The 1st half of the 3rd place match is missing so I didn't want to post the incomplete library until this has been sorted out.

You can find the VODs HERE
