If you got ddraw.dll fix in your BW folder, you should remove it while playing on official servers. Other than that I don't know why you wanna connect to officcial battle.net servers using a launcher. If you want your APM showing up you can try ChaosLauncher.

EDIT:
I tried connecting with mca launcher to official servers and it's working fine. Try again, uncheck some things and remove
temporarily to another place ddraw.dll. Battle.net is dead and full of hackers, only Asia is alive if you want to chill and play some UMS, Hunters etc.

use ICCUP. No one plays on the official servers since they are beyond shit these days. Blizzard never bothered to make them close to work

We have a tutorial video in case you need it, it explains how to start playing ICCup in detail. The Video is a bit dated, but it's still helpful:

Also not to discourage you but GM in Sc2 doesn't mean anything in brood war. I'm not going to make any comparisons between ranks because skills don't transfer at all from Sc2 to BW.


At all? That's a lie. Micro, macro and some strategies are transferable, but build orders are rarely transferable. So, as long as you stick with concepts, you may find a lot of similarities.

Well, if you know an SC2 6 pool you are already 150% to your BW championship.

While skill isn't that transferable from Sc2 to bw it also isnt the other way around, at least thats what I think. I used to play bw a lot when I was a kid because of my brother but then after a while it faded away from my life and I went on to play other games. Fast forward 5 years, I started playing Sc2 and then after like 2 years of playing Sc2 I picked bw back up again and I found myself playing on D+/C- after a few weeks. I dont know if it was from my prior experience in bw or not but it wasn't that hard to achieve. When I went back to Sc2 of course my skill had dropped and playing bw the whole time didnt increase my skill in Sc2. So basically only micro and macro kind of transfer to the other games.
But enough comparisons. I love both of dem Starcrafts!
Maybe you should sign up for ShieldBattery beta, I hope its gonna be awesome.

I agree. SC2 and BW are just too very different games.
BW macro and micro is much harder to learn than sc2 though (especially macro).

the general concepts of micro, macro, timings, strategy/tactics is definitely transferable. what's different is the timings in sc2 are a lot more deadly, the fights end kinda more quickly, and the game is kinda "faster" becaus of the pathing and quick fights.

allins and cheeses are more prominent in sc2, if you look sc2 from a bw perspective, most of the games would be classifed as cheese/timing attack.

but if you understand the basics, you can use them in bw, you just have to get used to the new mechanics and new timings/strategy. if you watch some commented vods you should get the hang of how things go and from there it shouldn't be hard to get to D+/C- (unless you hit 50 smurfs along the way).
