You guys think we'll see some new talent in the korean scene next year?

And by new I mean like, actually new to the scene.

The amount of time required to get seriously good at StarCraft is pretty extreme. I’d be surprised if there are many younger Koreans putting that time in post Kespa. And if the availability of training partners is there. It’s not enough to work at the game, you need others to work with you. In the streaming era that’s tough because it means others have to take time away from their work (creating content) to help you grow.

It's also just a stale fucking game all round. With the exception of Pvt and tvt you are essentially just rewatching and replaying the same game for the last decade, it's even the same tileset 90% of the time.

So I have a new bnet problem after moving and getting a new connection.

Sometimes I can join games and play just fine.
Then when a game is over, and I try to join a new one I get "unable to connect" on EVER SINGLE game I try to join.
Most times a reboot solves it, but sometimes I have to reboot twice.
I also tried to switch to europe and americas on region.

Fucking annoying as hell, since I can't find out whats causing it. If it works sometimes, why shouldn't it work all the time?

Since you moved and have a new connection, I recommend you reset entire winsock, which will give windows a chance to "start fresh":

If you are comfortable with the command line, here is a script that will perform this for you.

https://github.com/xiao-mantou/GamingTweaks-CHS/blob/master/.github/Reset Winsock/Reset_winsock.cmd

You will need to restart your PC after it finishes for settings to take effect. If you are on Wi-Fi, after you restart the PC you will need to re-enter the Wi-Fi password. I also sent a DM, but I do suggest trying the above method first. Feel free to msg if you need help.

Thank you so much for your help! I’ll try this and report back.

I’ve also noticed that my internet provider won’t let me open ports on the modem, since it’s «Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation» whatever the hell that is.
So 6112 isn’t forwarded, but it works anyway sometimes so that shouldn’t matter right?

This did unfortunately not work. It’s both ladder and custom games.
Sometimes I can join, 5 minutes later it shows «unable to connect».
Yesterday I couldn’t connect even after rebooting the pc several times, so I’m thinking it must have something to do with the ISP.
