Don't start this shit here. Completely off topic.

i'm good, feels completely on topic to me given that it's becoming increasingly harder to play broodwar instead of sc2lite

User was warned for this post
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Have you even played SC2 Enymion? I promise you aren't losing games because someone changed their hotkeys lol. Sorry you want to blame anything but yourself it seems. But this is off topic anyway.

It sounds like this may not be true (but may also be true). I assume we'll know for sure later today.
When I think of something else, something will go here

i won't say anything further on the topic, but it still sucks that we're losing every way to play 1.16.1 when there is a demand for it

In all seriousness, im not attached or affiliated to ICCup staff at this moment. But my last information from not long ago is that the ownership has no plans to shut the server down. And ICCup has been notorious in the past for being resistent to outside attempts to be shut down. If we see an influx of players coming from other 3rd party servers, such as Brain andf FISH, things might be set in motion.

But ICCup would need a big upgrade in infrastructure and staff before it would be a good place to play again IMO.

All the information you need is in the original post. Their announcement cannot be linked right now due to problems with their site. I don't know why some people are assuming that the original poster was spreading misinformation, without bothering to check out the facts if they truly believe it to be false.

There was no need to be this defensive over a simple question.

Simple really. We've had folks come in here and claim to be affiliated with x or y in the past without showing any proof whatsoever. All we have here is an OP with several sentences making such a claim. Not really hard to see why a link is needed (yes, I'm aware he said website is broken or w/e). Also, this thread would be closed without a link so I'd rather it didn't get to that point because this is important news.

I saw this posted on the Blizzard forum

Free server (private server) is illegal in Korea.
It is not Blizzard's choice.
In Korea, there are also people who were imprisoned by operating a free server (private server).
If you do not know big problems and laws in Korean society, this discussion is meaningless.

Three government agencies in Korea cooperated to close the brain server.
(Game Rating and Administration Committee, Korea Communications Commission, Cyber Police Agency)
This is an effort to solve problems in Korean society.

I personally would have loaded up the game and checked it out for myself if I was that eager for clarification.

It's looking to me like these could have been closed without Blizzard's direct intervention. Getting rid of private gaming servers seems to be a priority in Korea.

Fish and brain have been notorious for having people who illegally downloaded 1.16.1 along with various hacks to play on it for years. Some argue it might have helped the game survive, but I think ultimately now that SC:R is out the free servers should be closed down

I've only ever played on ICCup so I wouldn't try and figure out how to get onto Brain now in order to check.
