If you want, USEast has a surprisingly active player base.
I recently started to play on USEast out of boredom and was surprised both at the quantity and quality of the players (like E/D-/D/D+)
If you want, I'd also be down to play some games with you and if you want, introduce you to some USEast players. Just send me a pm here!


what? east has maybe 1 or 2bgh games and 2 or 3 fastest games at peak hours, everyone hacks, especially the people that host 1:1 games

I played 1 game on bnet.eu

My opponent was below bad, and he used a map hack...I loved how he decided to float hi cc away a few seconds before my scouting dt comes to check if he had a secret base...

He was online earlier and we played a few games. Feel free to add him or me(Peterblue). We are both D level and we both are up to play.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

Alright, all. I was able to clear up my AH and join the TL channel. I have been able to play a bunch of game so far(all TvZ) and I'm improving rapidly(able to keep my minerals below 4000! ). I feel I am a solid D player, although I may be D-, I can't tell yet. Thank you everyone who helped me set that up/showed me where to go. I'll respond to individual posts:

Xenocide_Knight: I'd rather play on iccup, though. Now that I've got it working it's great! If you want to play games against me feel free(nick: Peterblue) but I would probably get rolled because I'm D.

SnipinPanda: Thank you.

Shinjin: I've been able to find decent competition, so at least not everyone's a smurf.

AfecksN: I've been working on the general playstyle rather than the actual builds, but I will focus more on the builds soon. Currently I'm just repeating 1 Rax FE TvZ, with denying the third. I'm mainly focusing on my macro/timings/muta defense.

Pholon: Already did.

Stratos: Sorry, I'm not looking for a clan at this point. I haven't even played 10 games of BW yet. However, I could definitely consider it in the near future, when I improve enough.

Flash FTW: See above.

Elementsu: No thank you! I'm already getting stomped enough on NA as is.

Arb: I'm D. If that is about your skill level I'd love to(preferable TvZ).

EDIT: Also, I use the smiley a lot, I just realized.

Which basically translate into: dont play on official servers. : )

Thank you everyone for the help. If anyone reading this plays Zerg at a D/D- level I'd love to practice against you. If you are reading this and know TvZ at least somewhat decently, I would love to get some coaching from you, because I'm completely lost after the early midgame in this matchup(I don't know how to deal with lurkers or hive tech, because it's different from SCII). Thank you!

EDIT: Really, any practice partners I would be ecstatic to play against you. It can be for points or not, you can decide. I just want to improve my game.

peterblue i play a very mediocre tvz and zvt but i could probably get you pointed in the right direction. let me know: myth9684 on fish, sgs.qdenser on iccup or nkmkkmkn on skype
BW is still out there and a lots of people still watch it. SC2 is a different game and different people. Please go back to BW if you think sc2 is not suited for you - Dustin Browder

Hey all. I'm Peterblue, I played BW a bit when I was younger before I got disinterested. Currently I play SCII and I'm high Diamond as Terran and Zerg(so that's decent but nothing special). However, recently I've been feeling that SCII isn't very well balanced and isn't as interesting as SCBW, so I've been looking to get back into BW.

My question is: where can I go to find games at about the D/D- level? I've looked on ICCUP for games. There aren't many, and when I join I always get kicked right away. Is there a place I can practice besides the Abyss? Or am I missing some other server where I can play games? Or are there just not many people playing BW anymore?

Anyways, thanks for your time, and any info you can give me.


Your best shot is to become friends with the people you play with, and practice with them more after game. You could try battle.net servers for low level games but i wouldn't recommend it cus almost everyone hacks.

Well, I played SCII quite a bit(about 1000 games total) and I was a solid mechanics player, which means that my mechanics in BW are not absolutely disgusting(as in I can keep my money below 4000 minerals/1000 gas for the midgame). Also, as I stated in the OP I did play BW a bit non-seriously(just against friends) and I did watch pro games a bit. I never really played seriously at all, though, which is what I'm trying to do right now.

EDIT: And in TvP/TvT, the games I played so far I was able to keep my money below 1700/500.
