Though our numbers have been greatly reduced from yesteryear, the remaining members still embody passion that is only rivaled by few other communities. The Legacy Cup Series, sponsored by Rus_Brain, will be held weekly for the sole purpose of fostering a more active foreign scene as well as help players prepare and practice for the TLS Championship which will be held on January 9, 2016.



Each tournament will be a one day event played on a Saturday, with the first Legacy Cup being scheduled for July 25th. A Live Report thread will be created in the BW Tournaments forum where you'll be able find a registration link, among other information, for every Legacy Cup. Each Legacy Cup will have a prize pool of $100 in the single-elimination format, but that is subject to change in later iterations after we receive valuable information and feedback from community.

Do not register unless you have an iCCup Account (you can get one for free right here) and can play on the iCCup server.



Official iCCup Channel: op Legacy. You're not required to join this channel to find your opponent, but referees will be in this channel if you need to ask any questions.



iCCup Name Changes: If you have changed your iCCup name you need to let the system know! Be sure to check your account details as people have been disqualified from previous TL events due to incorrect information.



iCCup Chat Commands: A short list of useful commands to aid those who are new to iCCup navigate and communicate with players/staff/refs:



+ Show Spoiler + /Whois [name]

This command allows you look up if the person is online/offline, which channel or game they are in. E.g. /Whois Elegant



/W [name] [text]

If you need to privately message or get in direct contact with someone simply type in /W followed by their name and then the message. E.g. /w TLSPlayer15 Are you ready to play?



/R [text]

This command allows you to quickly reply to the last person who directly messaged you. E.g. /R Yes I am ready to play



/Join [channel]

Allows you to join a channel. E.g. /Join op TSL



/DND [text]

As you may have figured, this command prevents anyone from contacting you. Simply type in /DND followed by your quick note. E.g. /DND trying to qualify for TLS.

To turn off DND, simply type /DND again.



Note: Spoilers: Remember, due to the nature of this tournament, games will be cast from replays. As a result, there is a potential for spoilers.



Note: In game observers:

No observers outside of designated TL casters. Their IDs will be listed in the rules here. If your opponent tries to have observers, you must stop the game and contact a referee. This means you can leave if he invites his friends or just starts the game. It is your responsibility not to allow it.

SuGo Profile Joined March 2013 United States 652 Posts #20 My iccup account contains brackets ( [ ] ) - but it seems the tournament registration where it says "tl server account name" won't allow brackets. Does it even matter? (e.g. During the start of the tournament when it says ProtossGG is up against whomever, I would obviously say it's me... for the interim I've just put my same account name just without the brackets).
