iCCup Season 9 features a thousand dollars for the winners.

iCCup keeps supporting DotA. In their ninth season, the prestigious gaming site will hold a 5x5 DotA tournament with cash prizes involved.

To qualify in the tournament, you must place yourself in iCCup's top16 at the end of the season (29.02.2012). After it, the team of every player ranked in the top16 will be invited to the tournament. If there is more than one player of the same team in the top16, the best ranked player in line will get an invitation.

There is no information about the tournament's format yet but the prize money is already announced. The champion will take all of it, a full thousand dollars. The runners-ups will take 3000 and 2000 cups respectively. The cups can be used in iCCup's store, where you are able to purchase pro accounts, the option to clear your stats, and similar stuff.

You will battle against more than 170,000 registered users to get into the top16. Are you up to the challenge?
