1) where the server located? who funds the server, is it sustainable?

2)is there an effective antihack for this server. one reason why people play Fish server is because its antihack is definitely effective against the vast majority of hacks and it is constantly updated, despite the fact that it comes with adware.

3) will there be more options for the matchmaking system (racepicking, 2v2 3v3 hunters fastest etc.) i imagine matchmaking for hunters/fastest would be pretty big as well, solo queuing will now be possible..

4) i think more korean publicity is needed. Fish server has around 10k-15k population during peak hours, in comparison iccup only has around few hundred at most. and unless you intend this to be another foreigner server...

It's always been hard for computer games to compete with traditional games because of hurdles like technology. StarCraft certainly won't last thousands of years like Go, but with work like this I believe BW can truly endure through the next decades.

Thanks for all your hard work, you guys rock.

Isnt this like a Private Server thing? Arent you guys doing something like Nostralius for Brood War? What are the odds of it being another "Piracy" thing? Have you guys had any contact with Blizzard to prevent a disaster?

I'm sure they've thought about this and have acted accordingly (at least, I hope they would have). Otherwise, maybe Blizzard is secretly going to back this. After all, they wouldn't have to do any of the hard work themselves, and save time and money on that software engineer or legacy coder position they were looking to fill for ages.

Anyway, this is fucking incredible.
Continually amazed by this community.

woot! woot! So glad this is finally revealed. It's hard knowing something good is coming down the pipe, but that development has hit a slow patch.
tech is the man!
Well tech and 2pac are the... um, men!

isnt playing at resolutions other than 640x480 considered an unfair advantage/hacks and generally frowned upon? i know for a fact its not allowed in fishladder or iccup tournaments

This is all the incredible.
I can't wait to see how this pans out, I'm looking forward to trying out all the new features! I mean, even if lots of fuck ups happen in beta, who cares it's a huge step towards improvement that we'll never get with ICCup or Fish! If Win10 is supported natively this would be a hugeee way to get people back in who are having trouble with all the OS related issues.
This could really consolidate servers if the Koreans take interest in this (but watch out for Fish DDoS attacks like they did on Brain back in the day).
