Well, I have not played in iCCup in a while but from the BW forums I have read that there has been a lot of Admin Drama. As far as Blizzard goes, they can never ever officially recognize and organization that provided a pirate server(regardless of if they were Ok with it or not). I think this is a huge step for the iC- ESV guys. | ||

Just keep doing what you doing. Ya, I'm confused what exactly you guys got from ICCup. But I guess it's irrelevant, good luck with the new venture/partnership (whichever ends up happening). | ||

No, I am 100% sure this did not leak on the inside scene except to who I wanted to. I am very good at keeping stuff secret. | ||

We originally got a good brand name, some very very limited financial support for some new equipment, and staff/website support. The value of the brand name (iCCup) decreased A LOT, we stopped getting financial support, and stopped getting staff support. | ||

But, the title is horribly misleading as Crunchums said: dissolved=ended=firing everyone gg. not just renaming/branding the company. | ||

that individual/group is really messing things up in the esports scene. SC2 is lucky enough to have gone this far as far as esports goes.... but soon will end if they shut down other dedicated supports like ICCUP. hope they die soon tho, blizzard doesnt' deserve this much recognition for making such crap game. I would fully support ICCUP despite them making "secondary" server for SC Broodwar. It was all for the better of the players and the game itself. Blizzard still greedy and arrogant company that I have imagined in my mind. | ||

They are not in the wrong here, I am for not doing this much sooner. | ||

Best of luck and hopefully with the name change Blizzard will be willing to look into your maps for a ladder edition! | ||

We all jumped on the GSL maps bandwagon, and not gave our own mapmakers a chance to use their tallent. I honestly don't know of any other map except testbug that was used in any big tournament. | ||

I have a feeling this will open up some extra doors for maps. Here' hoping! | ||
