Yep! I once read Neuromancer for a class and it mentioned ICE at some point. What's interesting about its depiction in sci-fi is that it's usually presented as defenses in a kind of vault, so planting ICE-breakers really does go into both stealth operations and territorial control, and can go farther into either extreme depending on the type (e.g. infiltration software versus brute-force attacks). Technically, wards in League could do a bit of both, in that they're both the ICE (they provide points upon which teams assert control) and the ICE-breakers (they allow teams to infiltrate areas under each other's control and gain a foothold there).
