well they are available at KeSPA's site for download.

Chef has made a collection back then, missing a couple of the newest maps..
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=224789
but that shouldn't be a problem, since many people are still playing on python and Fighting Spirit..

This happens to me too, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest version. Just click no and you will be able to launch the game.

I struggle between 900 and 1050 pts on fish and can easily get up to C- on ICCUP, and C with a bit of patient. :p

1200 - 1300 is around B+ skill level imo. Fish is very difficult nowadays.

yeah i would say that 900-1000 is about c/c-
1000-1100 is about c+
1100-1300 is about b-/b
I've hit 1250 before but losing streaks are really bad since you lose about 25 points for each loss.

Is the skill on brain better than fish? I'm currently in my 30 games prior to ladder and my opponents all play FS/Python and their skill is quite low. Also, how do you get ladder games if you don't speak Korean on the PL/MSL maps.

What are the strengths and weakness of Fish compared to Brain server? Is Fish a more mediocre server compared to Brain?

Only in age really. Some semi-pros and a couple of progamers play at Brainclan and ladder there, but the higher marks on ladder on both servers are very, very high. Fish is more of a ladder server, though because you can gain/lose points according to win/loss, whereas on Brainclan you can retain more points due to a lesser ELO/point system. Fish however, is inherently comprised of 13-15 year olds and younger, more immature Koreans. Brainclan is filled with the older generation of BW Koreans who really think of BW as an e-Sport.

Perks of Fish:
More steady server. Has only been DDoS'd to death once by the Chinese, and it only lasted a week.
An average of 50,000 players. You will never run out of games.
Extremely balanced ladder point system.

Down points of Fish:
Hard for foreigners to report the abuse done to them, even with guides, it's a hassle.
The server connection outside of Korea can be very bad.
25% of the population hacks (moreso at lower ladder rankings - around the same as iCCup)
7-10% of your opponents dischack when you own them.
The above 2 reasons can be related mostly to the fact that you are playing young teenagers.
Almost 90% of the players speak little to no English.

Perks of BrainClan:
Average of 15,000 players.
Mature, older players who generally speak good and or communicable English.
Very friendly, very laid back.
Very good server connection wise. You do not lag on BrainClan as long as you have a good internet connection.
Not a lot of hacks - the same launchers, but not a lot of hackers or dischackers.
The ability to play with amatuer and semi-progamers once you have established yourself.

Down points of BrainClan:
2/3 of the population are in clans that compete in leagues (much like West) and play amongst themselves besides ladder. (Unless of course you friend add them.)
DDoS'd by the Chinese at least twice a year, the last one lasted almost 3 months.


The perk/down point lists are not complete, but give you a good idea of what you are up against on either server.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

the koreans tend to rename their maps and hence you have to DL most of the times anyways.
Best is to find a game where the host is afk or patient, or simply go to Op Teamliquid and play with people there for your 30games.
I've only played one ladder game so far, but with a friendly korean, he made the gamename with a korean sign so I asked him to make it in english and he did it, then he let me DL the map, too. Pretty nice

The biggest reason I stay away from these is that the only computer I can currently use to connect to the internet is my Dad's (moving out in a month), and I don't want to fuck that up. Is that a possibility?
