Hi all,

For any who care:

https://s.fishbattle.net/server_notice/18877286#23

This basically says the cell phone verification process was causing issues for people and they've removed it (for now) as this new season has begun.

With that being said, they've reverted back to a hybrid of the old system: You need 72 hours logged online + 30 melee wins. This means that if any of you used to fish ladder and had your old IDs which already had 30 wins + hours logged, you can just get on those IDs again.

TLDR;
You can go fish ladder now, just make an ID, 72 hours logged hours (leave your comp on for 3 days), and get 30 melee wins. Have fun.

Note:
They do mention that the rules could change and they'll let us know, but at least for now, everyone who never had phone verification can get gaming.

Good luck.

P.S. I'm just a ladder player on fish, I do not care about any of the arguments people have on koreans hating foreigners, blah blah. This is just simply something I found out and I am sharing. You can use it or think whatever you want about it... basically inb4 someone tries to cause arguments about fish

at least they did it, nice!

ProtossGG, a small amendment, new rule is not 30 melee wins, just 30 melee games.

I can't imagine Fish reverting this, Koreans weren't happy about it either.

If you don't log in for three months your account is deleted.

For these that didn't know (i just got to know a second ago from Scan): you don't need korean phone number to play ladder on Fish anymore! You still need to be online 72h and have 20 wins (?).

Great news, but a bit sad for everyone who likes to play on iccup, cause the activity could decrease there now if many players switch to fish :/

Are you hosting yourself? If yes, maybe you host with wrong names (or missing the #L2 or #w at the end of game name) ... like, don't use english names. I've made the expirience that koreans only join games with korean names.
But if you're joining, I don't know what could be the reason. Your melee stats will be considerated for ladder games only anyways.

Honest opinion I think this is for the better. All the big fish can now go to a bigger pond. Letting the smaller fish come out.
How we will win in the period ahead.

All the big fish have already been playing there, though Getting access to ladder was never really a problem afaik.

also Koreans are very picky about latency (dont like play with teammates/opponents with above 100 ping), and you probably have a wrong map. There's like a gazillion version of FS and downloading another one would infuriate people
well thought out signature that totally fires those neurons

At least with fastest maps I am good to go, even a 4v4 despite my ping and they rarley complain about it, either. And the games are on extra high lat, too, which is ok. Still better than playing a 1v1 with a peruvian on icc on extra high :D

Well, if you wanna know how long you still need to wait to be able to ladder, it's obvious :D Just keep on idleing on fish and you can play by tomorrow

Just figured I'd ask it here. What does it feel like playing someone that has low latency hack/how can you tell? Just played a game where it felt like my units were very unresponsive despite being on low latency, very noticeable with drones and zerglings. I couldn't do moving shot at all with my drone etc.

regular low latency is actually really high latency. It's there becouse the game is old and it was designed to reduce lag with the old modem connections. There's a huge delay between click and when the action is really processed. This is why you felt like your units were really unresponsive, cos it actually takes long time for them to response. Using iccup launcher, mcalauncher or another launcher with LAN latency enabled will reduce response time.
