If the server did became korea-only, they won't need to post such news to their korean playerbase, they wouldn't care about it. These things are usually done discreetly too.

and anyways...just wow. I cannot enter as of today as well. Xenophobia much?

there's no way it'll stick, there are tons of gosu koreans outside of KR that still play fish, fish's ladder will be shit without foreigners.. there aren't enough C and above players to go around as is, and this will knock out of a ton of Bs and As that are living in the US from playing...

Yes. I used VPN to connect to the server. They haven't announced anything about foreign IP. It could be a some trouble going on. This happened in the past as well. Just give them some time.

Why can't people understand the differences between "ban" and "block?"

By the way, for anyone else who really haven't paid attention to the screenshot, foreign IP is being blocked due to DDoS attack. I also visited the forum on Fish website and response seem to be same on other similar inquiries.

Partly true. Yes, you need melee wins. You can't get those by 1:1 vs comp. However, comp stomp games (2+ players vs 1 comp) on meele still work.

Additionally, nowadays you need 48h logged in on the server. So more than enough time to get those 30 wins even by playing actual games.
