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.

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!!

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.
