The Birth of Digital Era: Celebrating Internet Day on October 29th

On October 29, 1969, the first message was sent between computers at UCLA and Stanford Research Institute through ARPANET, marking the birth of what would eventually become the modern internet. This groundbreaking moment in technology history is now celebrated annually as Internet Day.

The first-ever message attempted was supposed to be «LOGIN,» but the system crashed after sending just «LO.» Despite this humble beginning, this moment laid the foundation for one of humanity's most transformative innovations.

Key milestones since that first connection:
— 1971: First email sent
— 1983: ARPANET adopted TCP/IP protocol
— 1989: World Wide Web invented by Tim Berners-Lee
— 1991: First webpage published
— 1998: Google founded
— 2004: Launch of Facebook
— 2023: Over 5.3 billion internet users worldwide

Today, the internet has become integral to:
— Global communication
— Commerce and business
— Education and research
— Entertainment
— Social connections
— Healthcare
— Innovation and technological advancement

Internet Day serves as a reminder of how far we've come from that first «LO» message and encourages reflection on both the benefits and responsibilities of our connected world. It's also an opportunity to consider the digital divide and work toward ensuring universal internet access.

Happy Internet Day to all our gamers!

Welcome to Our Support Hub!

Your gaming experience matters to us. This is your go-to destination for assistance with custom games, technical difficulties, Dota Allstars, donations, or shopping queries. Our dedicated support team and vibrant community are standing by, ready to address your questions and value your feedback.

Navigating the Ticket System for ICCup Concerns

When you encounter ICCup-related issues, such as:
* Players going AFK (Away From Keyboard)
* Improper use of in-game items
* Deliberate feeding
* Usage of unauthorized modifications
* Offensive language
* Transaction difficulties

We strongly recommend utilizing our ticket system for reporting. This streamlined process ensures swift handling of your concerns and directs them to the appropriate team members.

A Crucial Reminder:

While we encourage open discussions in this forum, please be mindful that all posts are visible to the public. We cannot take official action based solely on forum discussions. For ICCup-specific issues, it's essential to use the designated ticket system to receive proper assistance.

We appreciate your understanding and are committed to supporting you throughout your gaming journey.

New to the ticket system?
Don't worry! We've prepared a comprehensive visual guide to walk you through the complaint filing process across all four categories.

Step-by-Step Guide to Filing a Support Center Complaint

1. Secure Your Login: Ensure you're signed into your iCCup.com account before initiating a complaint.

2. Navigate to Support: Click the «Support» button located at the top of the iCCup.com forum to enter our Support Center.

3. Initiate Your Ticket: Upon reaching the Support Center, you'll have the option to create a ticket by selecting one of four available categories.

4. Select the Appropriate Category: For Dota Allstars related issues, you'll be presented with four subcategories:

• Points and Rating
• Game Violations
• Insults and Spam
• Complaints Against Admins

Choose the subcategory that best aligns with your issue to ensure efficient and accurate assistance.

5. Adhere to Guidelines: After selecting your category, you'll find detailed instructions for submitting your complaint. Please follow these carefully to ensure your ticket is properly processed.

6. Await Our Response: After submitting your ticket, we kindly ask for your patience. Our support team manages a high volume of requests, and we're dedicated to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment for all.

Let's now delve deeper into each category to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the process and available options.

Points and Rating

This category offers two subcategories to address specific concerns:

• Disconnect / Wrong Points
• Incorrect Points Transfer

Disconnect / Incorrect Point Allocation:
If you experienced a disconnection during gameplay or received an incorrect point allocation (such as losing points after a victory), this is the appropriate section for your report. Simply provide a detailed descryption of the incident, and our administrative team will swiftly address the issue.

Points Transfer Errors:
Use this section to report any discrepancies in statistics transfer. Offer a comprehensive explanation of the problem, and our administrators will promptly review and rectify the situation.

These issues often arise when utilizing the points transfer feature in our  shop. The silver lining? This feature is entirely free! Explore it here: Transfer.

Tickets for Game Violations

This category encompasses three subcategories for reporting various infractions:

1. Feeding / AFK Behavior
2. DotA Ladder Cheating
3. Abuse and Account/Stat Transfers

1. Feeding / AFK Behavior Reports
«Feeding» refers to intentionally dying to benefit the opposing team. It's crucial to understand that players won't face bans for lack of skill or connection issues. However, deliberately dying multiple times followed by game abandonment is considered feeding and may result in penalties.

To report feeding or AFK behavior:
— Provide the offender's in-game name
— Note the timestamp of the violation from the replay (Use the /time command in chat to mark the incident)
— Offer a clear descryption of the event, including the specific occurrence time

Please be patient, as we process numerous reports and review may take several days.

2. DotA Ladder Cheating Reports
If you have concrete evidence of cheating in a ranked match, use this subcategory for reporting.

To report suspected cheating:
— Include the alleged cheater's nickname
— Attach the game replay
— Provide at least three timestamps of suspicious activity
— Explain in detail why you believe the player is cheating

Your thorough report aids in maintaining fair play. Please note that manual review of these reports can take 3-7 days. We appreciate your patience and commitment to game integrity.

3. Abuse and Account/Stat Transfer Reports
Abuse typically involves repeatedly feeding an enemy player across multiple games (usually 3+). This can be identified by examining specific players' match histories.

To report abuse or unauthorized account/stat transfers:
— List the violators' nicknames
— Provide links to relevant match lists
— Include a link to the replay

For abuse reports, both the replay and match list are mandatory.

Insult and Spam

This category is divided into four subcategories to address various forms of misconduct:

1. Bad Manners / AFK Behavior
2. Spam
3. Channel / Custom Games / Lobby Incidents
4. Private Message / Wall Insults

1. Bad Manners Reports
If you encounter a player insulting others or yourself, report it here. Include the names of all involved parties in your complaint. Refer to our guidelines for a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes bad manners.

2. Spam Reports
Spam includes flooding the chat with messages for over 15 seconds or posting 17+ messages in rapid succession. This encompasses both text spam and excessive minimap pings. Report such behavior under this subcategory.

3. Channel / Custom Games / Lobby Incident Reports
For insults occurring in channels, custom games, or lobbies, report here. Your report should include:
— The offender's nickname
— A screenshot displaying the insult and the /time command in chat
Note: Reports without the /time command visible will not be processed.

4. Private Message / Wall Insult Reports
If you receive insults via private message or on your wall, report it here. Your report must include:
— The offender's nickname
— A screenshot of the insult with the /time command visible
Important: For wall insults, do not remove the offensive content. Screenshots alone are insufficient—the insult must remain visible on your wall for verification.

Complaints Against Admin

If you disagree with an administrator's decision or believe an administrator has acted inappropriately, you can file a report here.

To submit a complaint:
— Include the nickname(s) of the administrator(s) involved
— Provide a clear, detailed descryption of the incident

We take all complaints seriously, and they will be thoroughly reviewed by our Head and Super Administrators.

If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy your gaming experience!

EU Special News Series

Map Makers' Chronicles: The Features That Never Were

In this exclusive deep dive, we unveil the hidden treasures of DotA's development process. We've gathered insights from the original modders, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the features and ideas that never made it into the game we know and love today.

1. The Lost Heroes

Steve «Guinsoo» Feak reveals, «We had concepts for at least a dozen heroes that never saw the light of day. One that I particularly remember was a shape-shifting hero who could mimic the abilities of nearby allies. The balancing issues were just too complex to resolve in time.»

2. Weather Warfare

«We experimented with dynamic weather effects,» shares Kyle «Eul» Sommer. «Imagine spells that could summon storms, affecting visibility and movement speed across the map. Ultimately, we felt it added too much randomness to the gameplay.»

3. Day-Night Cycle Abilities

An anonymous modder confides, «There was a hero designed to harness the power of the day-night cycle. Their ultimate would have instantly shifted the time of day, empowering certain abilities. It was cut due to concerns about disrupting the game's natural rhythm.»

4. The Roshan Replacement

«Before Roshan, we toyed with the idea of a neutral 'King' unit that would grant global buffs to the team that controlled it,» explains IceFrog. «It proved too dominant and shifted the focus away from base destruction.»

5. Terrain Manipulation

Another modder shares, «We had prototypes for spells that could temporarily alter the map's terrain – creating walls, digging trenches, or even making small islands. The pathfinding nightmares alone were enough to shelve this idea.»

These unreleased concepts offer a fascinating glimpse into the creative process behind DotA. While they never made it into the final game, they showcase the innovative spirit that drove the mod's development and continue to influence MOBA design to this day.

Stay tuned for our next piece in the series, where we'll explore «DotA's Global Impact»: Stories from around the world about how this game changed lives and formed communities.
