The thing about koreans on iccup is they have their own dedicated higher level servers with less lag like fish and brain in korea so there isnt that much reason to go on iccup... except to use us foreigners as punching bags It is good practice at least
Aah thats the stuff..

The only reason why i am only SC2 player, is because SC:BW is acting retarded when mixed with Windows 7 + Winamp. Also, i have widescreen, so the stretching of the screen is not the best sight (and i definitly don't like the "window mode"). Also killing explorer.exe everytime i wanna play SC:BW just so the colors are fine, is quite the nuisance. But if everything was fine and dandy with SC:BW (on Windows7/Widescreen) i think i would return to it as well. The game is just THAT great.


Hmm try running it in windows mode + x2 size for 1280x960 if your monitor is big enough, it works quite nicely for me.

better just uninstall Windows 7. -__-
IMHO

I'm doing the same thing, OP. If you want someone to practice with, drop me a PM some time. I don't go on iCCup 'cause I hardly know what I'm doing, but I can stomp the protoss AI with the best of them :p SC2 has spoiled me - it's impossible (in my mind) to control zerglings when you can only select 12 of them. It's maddening, trying to hotkey so many hatcheries. But I'm stubborn, I'll learn

My understanding is that it's on either faster or fastest, I can't remember which, most likely fastest.

EDIT: IntoTheWow above me said fastest, thank you.

yea man, i've been putting off going to bw cause i keep thinking up of new ways to use hydras in sc2.

one day i'll learn you.

You should play Zerg, nothing beats picking off stray marine/medic or Workers. Or hell, just landing scourges on vessels and dropships. mmmmmm....

Oh yes word of caution I'm going to give anyone who is going to start up brood war. If you don't play protoss, prepare to be frustrated like never before. TvP and ZvP are the biggest pain ever at D and is most likely the reason there are so many P players. But I can tell you there is nothing funner in brood war then rolling a zerg with sk terran and raining hell all over dragoons. Blue soup is so satisfying.


It's only frustrating when you get flanked to death in TvP (depends on the map of course).

Python there's no easy third so I try to go for a timing push off two bases only for it to fail to zealots and stuff. Then I try to come back with a macro game only to get flanked from all "holes"

I think TvZ and TvT are my better matchups and TvP can just go to hell...

I'm actually the other way around. TvP is by far the easiet T matchup for me, and TvZ is the hardest. The micro is just so more intrincate, and your units are so fragile. Macro is also harder, and unit grouping is fucking difficult.

With TvP I just need to think. Micro, macro, grouping, and mechanics in general are easier. I also find TvP to be the easiet matchup strategically, and TvT to be the hardest.
