 The foreigner to Korean ratio is pretty high, there are a lot of games at the D to D+ rank, it's clear and straightforward, and you can understand everything only by knowing English. Compared to Brain and Fish, Iccup is the nooby server...but also the most fun | ||

But if you just want simple practice games in melee mode or something, come to Op teamliquid and ask for games, there's not alot of people on there at most times but sometimes you might get lucky. | ||

How is the easiest and fastest way to get set up for fish/brain server's in a secure and stable manner without have to go through all the 16 pages in the thread reading "this or that wont work issues"?? Create a thread asking for someone to upload their "Anti-Hack Minilauncher ENTIRE folder" and you won't have any issues at all. Ex: One person uploads their entire folder to a file hosting site. The difficult part of getting it isn't so much of finding it, but getting it to actually open. Believe me, it is really hard to get it not to crash at least in my experience. | ||

First of all, there are very few people during "european hours" (19 - 01 CET) and it's not that easy to get games. Second problem is the lag. Sure some people lag more than others (you might not even be able to host games), but you are bound to have problems with koreans that just leave when they see high latency. Thirdly, it's very hard and bothersome to report hackers and you get that feeling of being screwed and not being able to do anything about it. Last but not least, and I hope I don't get banned for this, you might just get tired of how retarded koreans playing on Fish are. There, I said it. They don't or don't want to speak English; when they do it's usually random retarded BM; if they see you typing in what appears to be NON-KOREAN they will STILL spam you with korean regardless (which is epically annoying); they leave without GG; don't leave at all (Fantasy timing); they do the gay invincible drop hack and they even do gay shit like floating their buildings or hiding pylons / geysers. Disclaimer: please please don't see this post as Korean bashing or something like that. It's based on my experience with Fish and on what I've seen others go through. I'm not saying it's not hard to get games on iccup when you're above C level, I'm just saying Fish isn't the paradise people make it out to be. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I play on Garena because it has a more relaxed atmosphere than ICCup and much less lag issues. Although the price you pay for this is encountering lots of players at or below the D level. The highest it gets there is about B- or B. | ||

You are on a KOREAN server, the KOREANS there are not supposed to know English, and you are supposed to type in KOREAN on those servers. It's absolutely normal that you receive Korean even if you type English first. If it's on IccUp and some guys type you a message in Korean (which you don't understand), what language will you type to reponse ? English. Why do you expect it to be different on Korean server ? Also, all other stuffs that you mentioned happened on every servers, and foreigners also do the same "gay shit" that the Koreans do, so it doesn't mean anything. | ||

Also, all other stuffs that you mentioned happened on every servers, and foreigners also do the same "gay shit" that the Koreans do, so it doesn't mean anything. Yes, koreans not knowing English is an issue that makes Fish less "user friendly", but I was not blaming them for that. I was blaming them for spamming, for retarded BM, for leaving without GG, for drop hacking and for doing gay shit. And that does not happen on every server: less people have dropped on me in 2 years of playing iccup than they did in 1 month of playing Fish. I've only played against a hacker once on iccup (infinite money), while on Fish I got drop hacked 4 times this week. I have rarely encountered random unprovoked BM on iccup, while on Fish it's something I deal with almost every day. But it's mostly the retarded spamming that grinds my gears. When I'm on iccup and someone types a message in korean, my thought process is like this: "hmmz, this guy is probably korean". So I type "no korean" or I ignore him. When a korean is playing on Fish, his thought process is "spam spam spam spam; this guy is typing some random characters; I'll spam some more or BM him in korean; and I won't stop no matter what". Yes Fish is a korean server and I know we foreigners are guests there and we don't have many rights. My initial post was just expressing another point of view that newcomers should take into consideration when asking "where should I start playing" and being overwhelmed with answers like "Fish; yeah Fish; play Fish it's great". | ||

I have to agree that you sometimes needs to do CyberSex with some koreans for them to play, or they keep barraging you with more weird symbols and eventually leave the game, I get Fantasy's more often on iCCup, but on the other hand i feel the games are less cheesy and more macro oriented, out of like 30 PvT, i only got 6 fact pushed 2 times, compared to 95% of iccup players on the yellow ranks. Sharing the same opinion as most posters here, i have to say that C- is a good timing to go to fish. | ||
