Once again time has come to call the end on another season. We, of course, are continuing to improve our favorite StarCraft ladder, here's the shortlist of changes, which will match into the new season with us:
1. Updated Map-pack.
New maps are: Plasma 1.0, Return of the King and Bizantium, also we've updated Faoi 2.0 to Faoi 2.1. [Download new map pack]
2. Staff changes.
Unfortunately our beloved Head Admin iCCup.Juppi has to serve an army duty, therefore his tough job will be given to iCCup.Go0g3n, previously a Ladder Super Admin. We all wish Juppi to successfully overcome this challenge and return to us.
3. Recruitment.
This season we want to bring you even more tournaments than before, that's why we've started a Tournament Admin Recruitment Program. You can find more details about it in the previous news posting.
4. Anti-hack update.
Yes, we've made a very good progress in terms of updating our unique Antihack system. We've improved "Defence" against several types of Drophack. Further more, the new update is coming up very soon to fix several bugs, players have been very kind to report, overall, we are moving in the right direction.
5. Server updates.
We’ve added the «/f o» command, which displays only friends that are online. Gratitude for helping to create this nice addition goes to [infest]abject.
To Round up, it was a very good season for us, we hope it's been the same for you. Over 1319452 games were played and we would absolutely love for this figure to double.
Tune in for the next season, that's coming up just tomorrow. On our part we will continue our quest to improve the most popular StarCraft ladder in the world, stay tuned for more news.
What's new?
• Improved AntiHack protection.
• Added replay slot fix (offsets by qet). Allows up to 8 player to join a replay with less than 8 slots.
• Hang-up "exploit" fix (by Python_Max). The ‘Drop players’ button will always work from now on. Even if cheater's antihack is disabled.
Programming is cruel. Whenever you make a mistake in the code - be sure one day someone will use this mistake to punish you for being so inattentive. Situation goes more terrible if your are using an open source version of program coded by some one else and barely suporting it.
Few days ago such a situation happened here at iccup, with our beloved starcraft server - someone used a bug(s) in pvpgn that allows him remotely bring server down by sending special packets. We tried to analyze log files and found that server goes down with "Segmentation fault" error. This error signs there is a memory problem, but it doesn't says where .. I am not a C++ specialist, just an "amateur" so this error totally doomed me. The only choice for us was to contact `CoolFaer`, our lead server developer. Due to summer time, jobs etc we managed to start working on problem only on Friday evening.
Around 14 CET at saturday we located the bug, fixed it and started server. Everthing was fine and ClanLeague matches should be able to start soon, but.. our enemy found that we fixed this bug and started using another one, so server went down again. After some researches, we fixed this bug also among with some others.. After a couple of tests and restarts we finally runed the server. I don't know if there are any other bugs, that can be used in evil purposes, possibly - yes, so everything is possible, but now server is stable.
Fixing those bugs wasn't possible without `CoolFaer`'s help.
Also we are all thankful for those who supported us, you let us stay motived.

iCCup tech crew.
