UPDATE - I'M HAVING TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TROUBLE SAVING THE GAMES AS VOD'S, IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A GOOD HIGH QUALITY SCREENCAP PROGRAM LET ME KNOW!

streaming at www.livestream.com/fazestarcraft

Greetings, Teamliquid! At 6:00PM EDT on August 12th, I will be hosting the first ever Icarus Cup! This tournament will be very different from any that have proceeded it, and will create an excellent balance between competition and entertainment. Applications to play in the tournament are being accepted from all players, regardless of skill level (however skill level will be taken into consideration when selecting the players who are to compete). 16 players will be selected, and will play their games on the US servers.

TBA - Currently sitting at about 150$, will be continuously updated as sponsors hop on board

This tournament will showcase the potential Starcraft 2 has for being the post popular spectator eSport of all time. Creativity and the "pimpest play" will be rewarded equally to winning the tournament. Until the finals, games will be played in a Bo3 format. When there are only 2 players remaining, the tournament will conclude with an unspeakably epic Bo5. 1st Round will be BO1. When the conclusion of the tournament has been shown, voting will open as to the "Pimpest Play" of the tournament, which each player will chose from their own games. The player selected after this voting process will be named the Player's Choice Winner, and will collect the same amount of prize money as the overall bracket winner! Winning games will not only bring your closer to winning the bracket portion of the tournament, but will also give you more opportunities to blow away the community with your revolutionary play style!!


[image loading]
+ Show Spoiler +
All players will play their games concurrently on the US servers on August 12th, starting at 6:00PM EDT. The games which are not casted live will be casted via replay. Voting for the Player's Choice will open ASAP, and close 5 days later. All "Pimpest Play" clips will be found in this thread.

Casters will probably change, as I actually didn't manage to get in touch with anyone except BigT, Wolf, and Forsti. Apparently being exceptionally disorganized is really detrimental to trying to ... organize things.

Wow, I didn't expect so many PM's so quickly. Already some big names coming in - thanks to the people who have already applied. I may start adding people to the confirmed list by tomorrow, but I won't fill the 16 spots until the 30th.

Good luck everyone! This is going to be an awesome tournament!

Not going to bother signing up because bigger names are going to be in

What's the bet that the pimpest play is going to be a Void Ray fazing two Queens or something

Want to play to get even more known and make moola I've already placed in the semis of 4-5 tourneys iirc now. Gosucoaching semis, craftcup semis (made both semis in the same day), TDS I was in quarters I believe until it randomly stopped and had secret finals (lol), wolfcup semis, an iccup tourney semis. Lots of semis -_- and beaten lots of these "known" top players on ladder.

also i'm that ghostmech, x3 nuke, and mass nydusing guy

If anyone could make a banner / some artwork with Photoshop for the tournament it would be much appreciated . PM me with submissions for banners or any other relevant artwork! The theme is the Greek legend of Icarus - who's wax wings melted when he flew too close to the sun.

The person who is selected to have their artwork act as the logo / banner will recieve compensation for their efforts!! :D

Thread updated with people who are invited - if you aren't on the list yet, there's still a chance you will be added before the 30th. I got about 250 applications, and haven't had the time to go through all of them yet.
