Ladies and Gentlemen, after a long wait, a StarLeague for yellow ranks has been rebooted in force. Welcome to the first season of the C Rank Yellow StarLeague, sponsored by an awesome community member who would like to remain anonymous. We realized that our friends in the red ranks were getting all the love, and he showed me a lot of graphs and charts which revealed that there had been a 5% drop in love for the yellow ranks. This situation was unacceptable. Therefore, I have the distinguished honor of hosting the C Ranks Yellow StarLeague, and hope you the players and viewers will have a lot of fun while ripping each other apart for the prize-pool of $250 US Dollars! Enjoy!




So, when does this start?

Friday, August 17th will be the official start date for the ladder stage, which will run until exactly 12:00CET on August 25th. You can sign up for the ladder on iCCup.com. The following weekend will be the first round of the group stages, the round of 32!

Prizzzzzes

Some people would kill for $250. Some people would sell their liver. Some people would start an illegal pyramid scam. Some would pump gasoline (or petrol, for all you British lads) naked for 5 minutes. Fortunately, you don't have to do any of those things - all you need to do is play StarCraft! The prize pool consists of 250 US Dollars, and will be broken down thusly:

1st place - 130 dollars
2nd place - 60 dollars
3rd place - 40 dollars
4th place - 20 dollars


So, how you can play?

To play in this league, you must have a maximum score of 5,500 points on the iCCup ladder. If you have a max score of 5,501 points, then I apologize, you'll have to watch the league as a spectator . Your minimum iCCup point score must be at least 3,000 points. If you would like to play, but do not meet the score requirements, contact me so I can tell you no. Please read and review the rules before playing.

Players with a match-history from the D-ranks Tours will also be allowed to participate if they would like to give it a shot!

+ Show Spoiler +


1. You do not talk about Fight Club.
2. You DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
3. No excessive bad manners during games or in the game lobby. Treat people with respect, and treat others the way you want to be treated.
4. No excessive talking or chatting during matches. Do not distract the other player with banter during the game. Do not preemptively type "gg" if you feel like you've won, or the other player is stalling their defeat.
5. If you lose a match, always type "gg" to show respect for your opponent, even if you don't respect their method of play.
6. Standard iCCup rules for matches apply.
7. In-game disconnects will be handled like normal games, where you will be required to report a no-point game to the iCCup staff.
8. Show respect to the Yellow StarLeague staff and iCCup staff during the tournament on your YSL ID.
9. All players will be required to play on the ID they registered to play on.
10. Only one account is allowed per player, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you want to change your name or create a new ID, let me know so I can remove the other ID from the ladder team on iCCup.com.
11. ALL games that you play MUST be saved.
12. You may not play the same person like 200 times to rank up on the ladder. That is completely dishonest and will not qualify you for the group stages.
13. Your "max rank" must not exceed 5500 ladder points, and must not be below 3000 ladder points. This competition is for C-/C/C+ ranked players only. Anyone who deliberately violates this rule will not only be disqualified from this league, but the subsequent league as well
14. All games must be played on iCCup Launcher, with LAN LAT: ON.
15. Any third-party programs that alter gameplay in any manner are strictly prohibited with the exception of iCCup Launcher. Hacking is prohibited and will result in a ban from ALL future tournaments.
16. All complaints in-channel must come with a screen capture with the /time command. Failure to do so could potentially result in your complaint being denied, although certain exceptions may be made if there is an individual exhibiting a repeated antagonist behavior.
17. The rules can change at any time, for any reason, sometimes randomly, and for no apparent reason, because there is no justice in this world.
18. I am the final word in all situations, the queen of the universe, and my word is law.
19. Rule 19 no longer exists.
20. You may not transfer stats to your YSL account from another ID, including YSL IDs.
21. No win-trading.
22. Only person (IP address) may play on one account.

23. All race-pickers must declare their races before the start of the league, including the ladder stage.

Special rule:

If your match ends in a technical draw (for example you have like 2 dark templar left and nothing else, but your opponent only has cannons and can't attack you), then it's ON. It's become a game of endurance, and whoever leaves first loses. BM rules still apply, so you can't threaten the other player with death if they don't leave, but all rules concerning excessive talk are lifted. You may bribe the other player to leave, but you may not trade ladder wins. You may not disconnect, or you will be counted as the "loser" of the match. Basically, you want to be so passively-aggressively annoying that you cause your opponent to lose their cool and cuss you out, thus disqualifying them or causing them to leave the game.



How to sign-up:

Signing up takes three simple steps, and will take you very little time, so you can sign-up in between commercial breaks for your favorite TV show.
  • Post in this thread the following:

    The ID you intend to use for the tour, which must have a YSL at the beginning of the tag, for example: YSL.Person, [YSL]Person, YSL)Person(, YSL-Person, etc.

    Your max iCCup rank

    Your StarCraft race. If you play specific match-ups, please list which match-ups.

    Once finished, your post should look kind of like this (but with your personalized info)

    Name: [YSL]NinaZerg
    Max rank: C+
    Race:

  • Make your iccup ID, and sign-up on the official YSL team page, which you can find HERE.

  • e-mail me at ysleague@yahoo.com, and provide the following information: which IP address you will be playing from (this information will be kept private, and will be used for counter-abuse purposes ONLY), your online contact information, i.e., an email address you check regularly, skype ID, MSN ID, or some way that I can reliably contact you online.

All of your private information sent via email is for counter-abuse purposes only, and will never be sold to marketing companies, because those people are pricks.

SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Yeah, NoisE did the first C Rank League, and I want to acknowledge that, because it was a very well-run tournament.

I understand what Game is saying but I think Nina is just trying to say that it is the 2nd C ranks league that has happened so far, if I am not mistaken.

Don't worry, I fixed the text in the OP so that everyone here can be a mature adult.
