How do you feel about the loss of the brand name strength of iCCup? I know they've fallen out of favor as far as their SC:BW ladder and their SC2 situation, but on the flip side they essentially created the competitive scene, dozens of very top tier and entertaining maps, and really laid the groundwork for a lot of development in eSports.

ESV TV sounds too similar to ESL TV

Even though i too don't like the shortname I really like the whole project. I would really like to see some kind of information site contents things like actual staff members and what they do. Projects you are working at and information how to support you guys. Nothing big just a little information page would be enough. I had a really hard time to figure out where you came from or who you guys are - even the stream thread on tl was closed for a new one that never appeared / no where linked. Iccup forums were somewhat empty and I just could not find anything....

Hope you think about that (i am writing this because new url is linking to stream again ;( ) - ignore this post if i am just too stupid to find some official threads/sites about you ^^

Sorry to hear this. I hope you guys get rewarded somehow from what you are doing. About the name, i don't like "ESV TV". Reminds me too much of ESL.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

It is sad to hear but at the same time, by what I've seen Raelcun was a big part of keeping iccuptv alive and with him gone I don't think this will live long after...

I don't like to say "fill" but I think orb does fill the spot plenty. Orb is doing such a great job casting all those events solo and I really hope that he will grow more into the casterstuff with iccup / ESV.

This. and ESL TV is a terrible name too -- I thought I was in for learning English when I was tuning in!

Very terrible thing to happen... sadly this is life and what happens when corporate businesses don't like it when you mess with their salad. Hopefully everything will turn out fine for you guys so that we can once again enjoy the great E-sports coverage that you people are known for!

My Opinion, ESVTV is an akward name, E-vision TV flows better.

I hope things work out well for all of you, Continue to move up in the world of E-sports.

Farewell

ESV TV doesn't exactly flow off the tongue either.

Clearly you should replce "TV" with "Network": ESVN.

Edit: But now that I think about it, "Vision Network" sounds like you're an insurance provider. "Video Network" sounds better.

You guys are doing a good job putting content out there and this split from the iccup network sounds like a step in the right direction. I agree that the name is pretty bad though.

As mentioned 101 times above, ESV is way to close to ESL..
Also, It didn't make sense to be "partners" with iCCUp and then go broadcast SC2 either

Best of luck with the "new" company!!
New youtube channel?
