TSL Dominates iCCup
With more that 16,000 games played in less than five days, the TSL is tearing up the BW landscape. The tournament has flushed out some of the big names, and there are even rumours of a kangaroo sighting (6-0 so far!) On top though, the German mercenary Mondragon is killing everyone with only two losses.
Here is a list of the top gamers at the time of writing:

Day[9] Sponsors the Replay Contest!
In the last update, I mentioned I would be collecting replays to make a weekly top 10 list from the ladder. So far, I have received... 4. However, Day[9] has stepped up to the plate with some incentive!
For the best replay submitted during the TSL ladder phase, Day[9] will give away $100. He will be watching the top 10 replays from each week, and then choosing his personal favorite.
Send in your hot replays to Manifesto7 and get in the game!
Cheaters Suck
Cheaters ruin leagues, force volunteers to work harder, and undermine the integrity of the game. TeamLiquid, as a leader in the StarCraft world, takes a tough stand against cheaters. Due to recent events, we have had to more closely examine this issue. Therefore, the following has been decreed:
1. Past Cheaters
FT.aCt)Kyopo - banned
TSL-KingDino - banned
TSL-Oldy - banned
TSL.sO.o - banned
TSL-Xian - banned
You five have been previously caught hacking within the past year. You have no place in this competition, and I can only hope other organizers take the same stance we have when it comes to their tournaments. You ruin StarCraft.
2. Rule Reminder
TeamLiquid is dedicated to hosting as fair a tournament as logistically possible. TeamLiquid is also the only and final word in this tournament. We reserve the right to ask any player to comply with our security measures. These include, but are not limited to, recording FPVODs, installing our software, and accepting referees in games.
iCCup Presents a TSL tournament
This weekend, thanks to the hard work of iCCup.Raelcun, TSL gamers can have a break from laddering and work to earn a top prize of 1000 points in the TSL Weekend Tourney.
The rules are simple. Buy into the tourney for 50 (64 players) or 100 (32 players) points. The points will be split up amongst the top finishers with the winner getting a cool 1000. This is a great way for you to jump up to that higher ranking and play some good players along the way.
Check out the iCCup page here. Please remember that the tournament is a two stage process. You need to sign up, and then check in prior to the games. PM iCCup.Raelcun with any questions.
Rage interviews Mondragon
Our resident rogue reporter Rage has struck again. This time he got some time with the current #1, Mondragon.
Any words on the format and the organization? Are you excited to be a part of this?
The event itself is damn awesome. The format is something new and I really like it. I'm always in for some changes and new systems. I really appreciate all the work of TeamLiquid.net for such an amazing event. Thanks.
