Even after you read this, I highly recommend that you read these topics if you haven't so already:

RULEBOOK and FORMAT
Now let me share with you some important things that you might have overlooked:

1. You can only play games on the league map. You can download it HERE - it is laballed as SnipersBaldLocksLg on the map list

2. BSing on this map will result in an automatic flag loss for your team (15 points) whether if it was intentional or not

3. Everyone on your team has to play a minimum amount of games (Gaming Quota), which is equivalent to 10 games or 3 Bo3 series - whichever comes first to avoid LOSSES for your team in the standings

4. In every Bo3 series, each team is allowed one substitution only

5. MVPs are rewarded to the player with the highest MVP score whether they won the game or not

6. Every team is required to play against each other in exactly 7 Bo3 series - you cannot exceed this amount

7. You do not have to play on the iCCup server. You can also play on USEast/USWest as long as everyone agrees

8. LAN LAT games are also allowed as long as everyone agrees to it

9. You have to do /time at the beginning of every recording so I can see the time stamp of when the game is played. This is required to ensure that all recordings are uploaded before the 48 hour threshold

10. It is mandatory that you perform a Lat Check every time you ALT out to your desktop

11. You cannot leave a game early. You must stay until the clock reaches 0:00 and you completed your lat check

12. While playing, you must ensure that you do not turn on any other programs/tools in the background besides the main essentials:

  • iCCup client or BW depending on the server you're on

  • Hypercam (or whatever you use to record)

  • XSplit + UScreenCapture (for those who streams instead of recording)

  • A music player

  • Ventrilo/Mumble/TeamSpeak (chat clients)
Anything else including web browsers and programs similar to VAL are prohibited in this league

Browser apps are hacks now? Where does this come from?

-_-.... why have it open during a league game?

Do you guys want to show proof that you're not hacking by showing us every application you have on?
you mean the application tab?

Or the "tabs" on the browsers? That's none of your fucking business.
That's my point. You can easily hide a hack among all those "chrome.exe"

I mean, how are you going to visit a browser when you're in a league game?.. I would like you to see the both sides of the arguments before saying "it's none of your fucking business". It is our business if we going to try and to limit the possibilities of hacks being loaded.

What we have decided is to make sure that no external applications are running beside the ones that are listed.

Thats bullshit, if we can rename a hack, it wouldnt be the ideal name to rename it, I would choose a system application...Not a goddamn browser name. That's the lamest excuse ever

That saying, in tournaments and leagues like those of LoL and SC2 where there is money or rewards involved, nobody has browsers or messengers or other unnecessary programs running in the background. It would be suspicious of why those programs are running while you're leaguing, wouldn't it?

It's a step forward and different from what we used to do. Changes are needed.

No changes aren't needed, and those events are a 1 day thing, This is a everyday thing. Hell no.

Those tournaments you are talking about are professional OFFLINE tournaments, on online shit they don't check you and yes many of them have alot of shit running like browsing reddit and listening to music on youtube while even in game, so your point is invalid

If you already know people can change the name to programs then the same can be said about anything, I don't see why chrome.exe is easier to change than everything else

So I'm guessing there would be no point in task manager checks since we can just change the names right?.....

Please think about this. those "online shit" have money or rewards for winning? I'm sure there in ANY legitimate league or tournament there are rules to prevent players from doing stuff like this. The difference between those games and ours is when we are recording on cam, we have no real "ANTI-HACK" that detects all of the hacks for snipers at once.

That saying if we can atleast minimize the amount of programs running, we can have a smooth game where nobody is suspicious of each other loading 5-6 chrome at once in the background of having 2-3 similar or same name application running at once.

I was just answering your point and yes those "online shit" do have money in play and way more than 40 bucks.

I know everyone here is fucking paranoid now that everyone hacks but I was just saying I've always had browsers open and the fact that it's "illegal" now just blows my mind

I just want the least amount of things open during league matches. I understand both sides but having less things on could reduce lag as well.

Does this also mean all bots loaded are to be turned off before games?

Okay, can you please point me a game that has what you say?

And yes, people are paranoid, but to be fair we don't have a ALL-IN-1 Anti hack. While you and a few other may have browsers open, you can't seem to see the most common name changes on hacks are those running alongside with programs that we are familiar with.

We do what we have to do, that is all. If there is a better way to ensure that task manager is useful, please let us know as you're are currently in favor of eliminating the use of a task manager by arguing that someone can just change the name of the hack to anything they want.

I haven't considered bots since we moved to iCCup. If people need bots then I will include it onto the list of allowable programs.

Like I said... how are you going to use those applications while leaguing? You're going into a best of 3's there is no reason to have any of that up.

By the way, there's only "1" channel where all snipers go to so having a bot up would serve absolutely no purpose and top of that even if you have a bot in your own channel ( 3oD ), you can't even ban anyone anyways.

I don't be mean to be negative but it seems pointless to have a task manager check if we aren't going to use it fully.

Dont think there is ot. Game ends at 00 00 if i heard correctly.. but if it happens to tie, not sure.
A: There is OT, it has been fixed.

Over-time will be set off if 00:00 is reached and both teams are tied, 02:00 will be added to the time. This is continuous, so long as 00:00 and a tie occurs, OT will take effect. So essentially, you could go into a triple over time.

B: Game never "ends" in League map, as requested.

At 00:00, if there is a winner, not a tie, it will say either "Hot Team Wins" or "Cold Team Wins" accordingly, and then you could technically continue playing on forever. Typing this out, for checks and score recording purpose I think I will make it remove all Sniper's, once I consult Mav.
