Hey everyone, it’s that time again where I get tired of icyHell’s old design and change it to a new one. I did not create a completely new one from scratch though, just modified icyHell Simple, the previous layout.
This new layout is named icyHell Simple 2. Here are the design changes:
- Light blue changed to dark blue
- Content area increased from 500px to 600px
- Background is now StarCraft 2 instead of StarCraft 1
- Added Twitter Tweet buttons next to the Facebook Like buttons
I have also removed the forums because it was not active with users, instead it had spam bots making accounts everyday. Perhaps one day I will reinstall the forums when it is needed.
Lastly, how many of you use Twitter? I have created a new Twitter account for icyHell.net and will be tweeting updates on it. If you want the latest news, be sure to follow icyHellnet!

If you don’t like your current StarCraft 2 character name, you may now rejoice for a free character name change! Note: you only get one free name change, afterwards they might cost $10 each – like in World of Warcraft.
To change your name, log in to Account Management, click StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in your account, and you’ll see the link for the free name change.

Lomilar from Teamliquid.net has released a cool new program, Evolution Chamber, that will help you find the fastest time to build something in StarCraft 2. Currently this is only for the Zerg race, so Terran and Protoss players are out of luck. Also, you will need Java 1.6 installed to run the program.
Using this is relatively simple – you just input numbers next to the units or buildings you would like to make. Depending on the build order that you want, this program can take from several minutes to several hours to complete the optimization.
Below in the spoiler is the output for Lomilar’s input to make 7 Roaches as fast as possible. To read the output, you’ll need to know what these little things mean:
@: Current time
M: Minerals
G: Gas
L: Larva
S: Supply count
Unit name: Build the unit
@1fc9896: Ignore, just an address
+1: Unit is done
You can download the program below, but you should check the official site first for a more updated version.

According to BlizzCon, Blizzard’s annual convention, there are going to be 2 new leagues: Master League and Grand Master League. To reach Master League, you will have to be in the top 5% of the Diamond players. For Grand Master League, you will have to be in the top 200 players. There is no set date for these new ranks, but they will probably appear when Season 2 starts.

I’ve just read on Teamliquid.net that StarCraft II in the EU servers have just updated to a new patch, version 1.1.1. This patch only contains some bug fixes, one of them includes “fixing” the mineral boosting trick. The patch is not here yet for the US servers, but should be up soon. You can read the patch notes below:
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty – Patch 1.1.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets.
- Fixed an issue where the Phoenix’s Graviton Beam was automatically canceled if you used it just after the Phoenix reached 50 energy.
- Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering.
- Fixed an issue where players watching older replays or saved games would experience stuttering.
- Fixed an issue where some Mac users were unable to join games properly.

UPDATE: Path 1.1.1 is live for the US!
