I was very worried this morning when I skimmed this, I'm glad I came back and read it in full.

You guys do really good work, and I'm glad you're able to continue, regardless of what banner you sail under. Good luck with the transition!

Really pathetic of the iCCup guys to totally flake and fail to support their own brand with iCCup TV, but I'm very glad that you guys are getting rid of them, separation from iCCup will help you and E-Sports grow.

I don't think I can use Starcraft in there without setting up a deal with Blizz can I?

You might be right, however Blizzard does give out licenses to stream/host tournaments. Like I have a charity event that I named "Starcraft Charity Events" or "SCE" for short. This is listed in my license with them. However, since I don't make money on it that is a bit different. Anyhow ESV isn't that bad, but maybe talk to Blizzard and see if they will give you the right to use "Starcraft" as part of your tv name. After all, its you Diamond. I know you and I know what you can do. If Blizzard allows you to, you will be the next big thing since when it comes to streaming. Right up there with things like the WCG Stream. You've got nothing to lose by talking to them. Good luck and if you ever need anything, you know how to reach me.

ESV is the common abbreviation for a very popular bible version "English Standard Version." =\

iCCup deserves 100% of blizzards support and its sad that they did not give it. Yes it was illegal but you could argue that without iCCup there would have been no SCBW foreigner scene and you can easily state that Teamliquid, and everything foreigner related would not of been as huge without the help of ICCUP.

Wow this is huge. I'm glad you guys will be getting support from blizzard (finally), but don't you think it'd be unwise to change the name of the company? In terms of branding everyone in the community knows what iCCup is, but no one knows what the hell ESV is. i suppose its one of those acceptable sacrifices, but you're giving up years of branding doing this.

ESPORTal (however you want to capitalize it) popped into my mind, but apparently, the name, in relations to esports, is already taken*, and that's not even counting the actual URL, which has nothing to do with esports.

*Though it looks like it's defunct.

Good luck!
