I played a quite a lot of BW many years ago (on ICCUP) and when I heard about the remastered version I got the urge to play again. I downloaded the free starcraft with 1.18 patch but I'm kind of clueless of where to play? I tried my region (EUR) but most games are horribly laggy/high latency - I thought they fixed this in the patch? Do people still play ICCUP or is there something else that with give you "lan like" games, and if so - can I play on them with 1.18 or do I need to get 1.16?
Where and how to play as new or returning player?

I remember the wait times from C+ and onward made me quit BW 5 years ago. And around C it already took a lot longer than D/D+/C- last summer, too, making a quick game in between sometimes impossible. | ||

It was partly directed at his claim that you will find games at any level on iCCup. Personally I always had problems on fish back then due to everyone renaming the maps with a custom file name and the downloads taking too long so that they would kick me. And getting games in channels was also hard due to the language barrier. It was always a bit of a hassle to communicate with the players and make sure they host with an English game name and then hoping that they don't kick me because the download took some time and/or #L1 not being lag free. | ||

Exactly things like this is why I hope we get a auto match maker and a ladder. it just makes the experience cleaner and not having to worry about stupid things and just playing the game. | ||
