It's been asked to open a post to better explain how ICCUP store works.
When you click the STORE:
It opens the DOTA store page with tools which are not for SC, switch the page to go into the SC page:
Now even if PRO Account, Ladder Armor, Ladder Bonus are still visible in this page they are NOT valid for SC:BW:
Since the SC store was very limited and ICCUP developers are not working there anymore, we have created a Special Store dedicated to BW accessible through the support board:
To use it you need storegolds (caps), you can purchase them using the official store, but your donations will sponsor DOTA not BW:
If you willing to buy storegolds sponsoring directly BW you may read this page:

So we can buy our way to A+ now?T_T

For the umpteenth time... NO
Cost of pts depends on your current rating and that quantity of pts that will turn out as a result of this buy. It is impossible to purchase pts for a rating above A- or to hit in top100.

if you put a hundred bucks on the table and whisper "foreigner cup" three times sziky and scan will appear, as well as a discussion will start in the bw tournament forums and nobody will ever be happy again.

Do you really have to pay to clear stats and transfer stats to a new username now?

im not 100% sure, but i think it is stil free, when you buy this feature with store gold, you can do it more often (you have to wait 1 week to /Clearstats for example)

Awesome explanation Face. Everyone should go to donation page which is in Special BW Store that can be accesible via Support page. We need to support BW, not shitty DotA.
And people with brains need to stop whining about getting points. If someone is ready to put 10k caps to reach A, so be it - all money (I'm not sure how much is it exactly, but approx. 450-500$ LOL) will go to support BW.

This is exactly why the BW Foreign scene gets negative attention at times, is because of extremely hateful / negative elitist remarks like this. Do not hate another game and then expect BW to prosper, everything can grow together.

Wow, I hate this. I get that it's not really doing much harm, but I find everything about this idea (especially buying points) gross.

Repeating again and again from old post:

that shouldn't be allowed
keep that shit for DotA (it's stupid there, too, btw) You should explain your point if you want to pass for someone with a minimum of brain. Coming out with such things is just for trollers. Whats the fun for A/A+ ppl to play vs D/C? Just to ladder up their ranks raping poor newbs in 7 minutes games? The "SC points" is to give these players the opportunity to skip boring useless games.
And can't you understand that money will go to host tournaments like Cash Tournaments, Gosu Show Matches, Competitions, New Features and more... So, even if it's harmful (which is not, if it is point it out) I don't see any problem since we are going to see more BW events.

I still think it's awful. The point of a ladder is you have to climb it. Also, legit A/A+ players aren't going to be using this because they can easily get to high ranks by playing. It's going to be losers whose dream its always been to see a blue rank who pay for this.

For like the 100th time: Almost no "newb" buys his way up. Even newbs could simply ask to share an account with better allies if they really want to experience a higher rank. You could also simply abuse by playing lower ranks until you get up. Both are at least in the grey area of the rules, so it's not that kind of a big deal. If you just buy, but never play - no real harm done, it's an empty account, makes no difference if that's a 0-0-0 D or a 0-0-0 B for the ladder. You might show up as gosu, but nobody in the world will care, except those who want to see the ladder failing. Face should probably hand out some stats for what the store gold is used by donors. My experience tells me that the huge majority (80%+) is invested in custom icons for page and server, some stuff for other cool "page features" (flag changes), or is left forgotten, because nobody would ever really need these features.
More importantly though, Face probably asks for donations, so he can provide more money events (tournaments, show matches, ...), because in reality the developers / iccup global seniors will not give him any. It's the ends that justify the means here, the gold coins for the shop are mere tokens of gratitude, because he simply can't offer a great return for your money. I don't like it either, but for other reasons - the same reasons I think TL+ is a somewhat silly idea. There's always the danger to create a two-player society, one in which the sponsoring side gets a way more lenient treatment. However, it seems like for store gold (and TL+) the donors are mostly those who never violate rules to begin with, as their commitment is a different one from the one of a hacker, an abuser or a troll. The funny part of this thread is that it's a mix of advertisment and warning - advertising sc store while warning from donating for DotA. Nevermind...
