Woot! Thanks for the PM Djagulingu! Even though I didn't get to go on iCCup, for some reason it was telling me: "Incorrect password blargh!"
And all things considered I'm going to try to get good at Broodwar itself. It will influence on my SC2 gameplay indirectly but I'm already starting to reeeeally enjoy BW and its cartoonish graphics.
For god knows what stupid reason, changing site password doesn't change server password. I changed server password and it's the same as the one in PM now.

I beat zerg computer solely by muta microing but T&P, I have quite a hard time against. And there are players at D/D- level that are a lot worse than computer.

Yeah. Since SC2 many brand new players came and actually a couple of those switched to BW. And since iccup and TL are right next to each other, a handful of these new players can be found on iccup nowadays. I'm one of these guys and I met a couple others. You just need to take some time and find them.

So would you guys recommend me practicing against an I some builds I'd find on Liquipedia? And what builds would you recommend for a semi-aggressive Protoss player? Sorry for the fact that this post is short :p
Oh, by the way, I registered on iCCup before Djagulingu posted about the password change (v.v) and my ID is TheDeli. I'll be there later this night.

Reading that statement empowered me to try out iCCup for the first time in my life.
I won 2 TvTs, one against a one-base, 2 fact, and another against a Wraith build. Considering that I'm a measly Random Gold player in SC2, I was actually surprised that I could win games on the infamous iCCup ladder.

I guarantee you that if you reach C- you will be able to roll master league players like its nothing
edit: at least the old C- guys, pre sc2.. I don't know how good c- are nowadays

iCCup laddering is kind of random. If you play anyone and don't abuse, you are at the mercy of fate. Sometimes you will get lots of good players, other times you will get people who really don't know what they're doing. If you do abuse (that is, you play the same map all the time, ban people if they are from Korea, etc etc) then even very bad players can get points on iCCup.
I don't know what rank really means on iCCup anymore, but the Korean servers like Fish and Brainclan I expect still have a tonne of very good players as you climb points. Koreans also seem to be less afraid of facing smurfs, so you don't get weird players who have a decent record/points but play like crap because they refuse to play anyone they think is still climbing to their actual rank (ie anyone good).
