I recommend Fish for anyone looking to practice specific match-ups, specific maps, or is looking for an active server during Korean hours. I was just on ICCup and it has about 400 people online right now, while Fish has about 30,000+ people online. Obviously, you can see it would be easier to get games on Fish. All you need to do is get korean working on your pc, or just the ability to copy paste and just make games and someone will join, and when you can ladder, just copy paste some generic message and spam everyone. I know this is a big wall of text but just typing this in case someone is put off by going on a korean server where they can't communicate. However, if you can't host games, then you might have a hard time. | ||

You mentioned maps as being a +1 for Fish when actually it's not. 90% of games are on FS and the other 10% are on Python. Sure, people on Iccup don't always adapt quickly to the newer maps but most of them do play MOTW. And you don't even have to install wacky korean fonts and copy paste them to get a different map than FS. Then there's also the lag. Fish lags more than Iccup for most people. And if this weren't enough, the whole concept of high latency is very frowned upon by koreans. I would start 3-4 games just to have people leave after 1-2 minutes while continuously typing redundant shit. I'd rather wait for a few minutes on Iccup than to go through this time and time again. Finally, if what you're after is laddering, Iccup has the upper hand, at least at the not so high levels. You don't have to message people for games, you can report faggots who disconnect after 40 minute long games, there is MOTW and the whole ladder ranking makes more sense. I'm not hating on Fish or anything, but I'm tired of people putting it on a pedestal. And people who choose to play on Fish are part of the problem why Iccup doesn't live to its potential, little as it is. | ||

And people who choose to play on Fish are part of the problem why Iccup doesn't live to its potential, little as it is. i play on fish over iccup simply because i get games very quickly on fish. on iccup it is inconsistent. yes, iccup has great features but the difference between 400 people and 30k people is too vast to ignore. even if fish only had 5k people, i would still choose fish because the gap between 400 and 5k is big enough to make a difference on the number of games found. not sure about europe or the east coast, but I play from the west coast and i rarely lag on fish. | ||

Brain has been dead for a while due to the person who shut down fish (apparently something to do with aqua launcher). ATM the domain www.brainclan.com has been taken over by the KR government. Just play on iCCup (I know, it sucks, but there's no other choice atm). | ||
