The iCCup TV Challenge (ITC) is a weekly tournament of all the up and coming players looking to make a name for themselves early on in the Starcraft 2 gaming scene. It will act as a predecessor tournament to the iCCup TV League, which will be home to some of the bigger named players who have already proven themselves in previous ITCs or through their play in other big tournaments.
The ITC will be a relatively open tournament featuring some of the newer diamond level players. Any player who is looking to join the ranks of the best will now have the perfect place to start. However, if you even want to get a shot at taking down players such as LzGaMeR, Sheth, QXC, and HuK, you will have to fight your way through other challenging hopefuls.
Every ITC is streamed on USTREAM starting at 9 PM Eastern Time.

Rules
1) Any cheating, hacking or abuse of a bug will result in an automatic disqualification and can also result in a minimum of a 6 month suspension from all iCCup TV sponsored events. Second time will result in a lifetime ban.
2) All players must pick a race to play and NOT switch it. This only applies per event. For example a player could be Zerg in ITC 1, Protoss in ITC 2, and Terran in ITC 3. But during an event you must pick a single race and stick with it.
3) All players must allow iCCup to stream your match if it is asked and the match has not started yet.
4) No spectators are allowed other than iCCup Staff members in games that are streamed. If the game is not being streamed, players are allowed to have friends spectate if BOTH players agree to it.
5) Respect all players and iCCup Staff. I’m not uptight about being constantly good mannered, but you WILL be kind to everyone or you WON’T play.
6) Disconnects will be handled by Tournament admin. If it happens and the players cannot agree on a rematch or a win for a player, then talk to me.
6) Enjoy the tournament and have fun!
