Semi-Final!

A Protoss is going to win this tournament. At least, that's what I can guesstimate with only 4 players left, all playing Protoss as their main reason, but youRun playing ZvP. Fold managed to dispatch ihufa. and will face the very dangerous drshrinker, who has taken every series in this tour without a single loss (6-0). All of the Norwegian doctor's wins have been against Zergs, and he now faces a very well-practiced Fold in a PvP match-up. Meanwhile, youRun is going to attempt to send out his Zerg against Breach. Both youRun and Breach took out the last two Terran players in the previous round, both winning 2-1, and both have a tied tournament record of 6-2 in the bracket stages, however, Breach has yet to face a Zerg player in the tour, while youRun has faced two Protoss players with his Zerg, including Splax, so both matches are going to be very much up for grabs this Sunday!

Definition of "bm":

+ Show Spoiler +

What will be considered bm:

- Saying "Fuck you"
- Saying "You are shit."
- Racism, "French people are bad.", "Koreans are rude", "Chinese people lag", etc.
- Homophobic remarks, "That was gay", "What a fag", "Faggot", etc.
- Offensive sexual dialogue, "Suck/lick my dick/cock/penis/balls" or "You are a pussy", "You're a twat"
- Telling people to "Go to hell"
- Saying "Fuck off"
- Disparaging another players' skill, "You suck", "Learn to play", "gtfo", "lol ur bad", "noob", "lamer", "sad cheeser", "lucky", etc
- Putting in your profile any of this.
- Telling people to "Shut up"
- Insulting another player, "Idiot", "Dumbass", "Get a life", "You have no life"
- Saying "lol", "lmao", "rofl", "ez", "trololol", "leave please", "You have no chance", "xaxaxa", "hahahah", "jajaja" to insult your opponent. You can say "lol I'm bad", but do not direct your laughter towards your opponent.
- Telling your opponent your position in-game
- Switching races before the game starts
- Refusing to play on a certain map
- Telling your opponent to exit the match at any point during the game, or preemptively saying "gg". You may only say "gg" when YOU are leaving the match.
- Spamming text on the screen or excessive chatter.
- Unpausing the game before your opponent says "go"
- Pausing the game without saying "pp" or "pause" or "sec"
- Pausing the game then leaving.
- Pausing the game, then taking like 4 hours to come back.
- Changing the latency of the game over and over and over repeatedly.
- Telling people to "learn english"
- Trying to colorfully talk in a dignified and pseudo-polite manner to try and circumvent the rules, "I made beautiful love to your mother in the evening prior to this, and while I disagree with some of your methods concerning strategy, particularly how early you decided to engage me in aggression, but I commend you on your victory, but sincerely hope that I will prevail against tactics of such simplicity in the following match, my good fellow!" Because... just no.
- Drawing a text-penis or boobs.

What is NOT bm:

- Saying "good game" instead of "gg"
- Cheese
- Building a proxy nexus, cc, or any type of building
- Any legal StarCraft function, including building pylons all over the map, or lifting all your buildings and stalling after you've lost.
- Making fun of your own skill, as long as you're not spamming text. More along the lines of "lol I suck at this build." then shutting up from that point on.
- Saying "omg", or "wtf", as long as you're not spamming them.
- Scouting a 6-fact push as Protoss and saying "Shit just got real"

As a rule of thumb, be respectful, be courteous, and be nice. It's okay to have emotions and it's okay to get angry, especially when you fail at something you wanted to win, but don't take it out on the people in the tournament. Try not to stress out over little things, and stay focused on having fun and improving.

5. When you have lost your game, say "gg" and immediately leave.
6. If there is excessive lag (like it's unplayable even on Extra High Latency because the movement becomes choppy), immediately leave the game before the 2-minute mark. If you stay in the game past 2 minutes, you must play the entire game.
7. All matches that are unplayable due to lag will be decided at the tournament staff's discretion.
8. Standard iCCup rules for matches apply.
9. All players will be required to play on the ID they registered to play on.
10. All games must be played on iCCup Launcher, with LAN LAT: ON.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. If it is discovered that you are above the maximum points for qualification in this tournament, you will be disqualified.
15. If you cannot play your match at the appropriate time on Sunday, contact your opponent, and set up a new time with them. It must be before Monday. You must both agree on the time for it to be valid. If you attempt to abuse this rule to dodge your opponent and get a walkover against them, you will be disqualified at the tournament staff's discretion.
16. You may not play your matches using your toes unless you are missing both arms.
17. Spoiling your games could cause you to be penalized.
18. No one but yourself can play on your account. You will be banned from all future events if you do this. Do not do this.
19. Insulting the casters will be considered bad manners, and is not acceptable.
