Hey DOTA fans, we are glad to announce that iCCup has launched its very own Dota Allstars Season (Beta). A new platform for Dota to shine on?
With the ever growing fan-base, strong presence in the E-sports community and the unique gameplay; offering a rich blend of RPG and RTS, iCCup has decided to "take on its own Dota All-Stars ladder as an alternative to the delay-crippled battle.net and the slot-restricted garena."
The iCCup, which will last 45 days - up till 1st December 2009, seems to be an exciting prospect. Host bots are available for each game to minimize latency. Along with that iCCup also offer all the usual features "inspired over many seasons of supporting StarCraft statistics, with your win-loss record, hero information and statistics, kills, assists, and more available on demand!"
iCCup Ladder is available to see compare stats with your peers. A rather unfamiliar feature is the AntiHack, providing addional ladder points for its use and discouraging unfair play by preventing hacks. A dedicated staff has also been made available for news and services.
“
By combining the atmosphere and function of the battle.net style chat-rooms and clan support with the low-latency (50-100ms as compared to 250ms) advantages DotA on iCCup can become a mainstay of the DotA community.”To play DotA on iCCup:
