Okay so I lose electricity for 4 days, log into steam and someone says "DUDE WHY DID ICCUPTV DISSOLVE!?". I was of course like "wut?", and in a panic attack logged into TL and tried to figure out what happened. Then I saw it basically just got renamed and I was like :D.

I suggest a non-acronym, non inside SC community, non '_______gaming' name. They are very cliche and WILL KILL ESPORTS!

Something competitive.
Something game/war/space without being too specific.
Something about a community/league/group?

Nothing beats Starleague - worked in Korea, not polarizing - how about StarleagueTV?

Iccup name represented pirate servers in blizzards eye. They came down on them, made sense to change name

I admire what you've done. Same goes for iCCup as a server though - they are very needed as well. Good decision to part ways in this particular case. ESV is okay, short and sweet.

Wow, who'd have expected that one of the biggest names in SC2 has to shut down because of reasons like this

That saddens me, you've done so much for the community without receiving enough.

It seems like a good and well thought-out move. Your dedication and continuous support and contributions to the community are admirable. I'm especially happy, next to your event coverage/stream, with the maps you come up with and the fact that they are not being ignored, but embraced by the community and incorporated into the biggest tournaments & competitive fields.
I hope that you'll be able to continue on this course for a long time.

It might take a while to adjust to the new name, but I feel the "not cool" crowd should keep in mind that a brand/name becomes cool by the actions it takes and things it is associated with, making it only a matter of time before a difference is no longer noticeable.

Good luck, ESVision, full speed ahead, and again a big thank you from me!

Good luck!

But man, that you made the name iCCup so big for all starcrafters must have been such an achievement. Sad to see it all disappear...

I'm eating some watermelon to hold back the tears.
