Hello everyone! I've recently bought SC:BW beacuse I wanted to check how this game looks in multiplayer. I have a question - how to find "newbies" to play against in Brood War? are there any special channels for newcomers?

I would recommend playing through the campaign singleplayer to get used to the units, pick a race, and then hop on iCCup.com, that is the server most foreign (non korean) players play on, it has a lot of good players , but also a lot of newer players just like you, I would recommend checking out sGs clan, they will def. help you improve, hop on iCCup.com website, register there on the website ( Once you register and activate your account through email you will be able to login on the account you registered on the website, on the server ).
If you need any further help feel free to message me on Skype, i will be glad to help you in the game or helping you get things working. Skype : TelecomRG
Enjoy your Starcraft : BW experience~ and don't get upset after losing a bunch of games before winning, that is very common for new people just starting out. Keep your head up ! GL!

If you have skype, consider joining the sGs skype group. Send a PM to L_Master on teamliquid.net if you want to join the group, there will be a lot of people that can help you get started, and also, newbies.

I would recommend using the search function too. You obviously didn't read TL.net Ten commandmets when you made this account. It's there under #2. There are like 10 topics exactly like this one.
On the other hand, welcome! :D

iCCup server has ranks system, so D- and E ranks stand for newbies. Your special channel is D- (there is no E channel).

Bumping this because it isn't worthy of a new thread. I'm picking up BW too, if only to see if it is more fun than SC2. Also, I'm a Windows 7 user on a beastly laptop with an extremely unstable internet. It is not uncommon for me to get temporarily disconnected 2-3 times in a single Starcraft 2 game. Is there anything I should worry about that I don't have to worry about in SC2? You know, things like messed up colors, crashing game, incorrect losses, buggy stuff like that that I should avoid at all costs? Finally, when I looked at the iCCup rules, there were a variety of bugs both forbidden and... bidden(?) that I'm not familiar with. Are there any of them I'll actually have to try to avoid, or are most of them relatively complex and very difficult to stumble upon by accident?

Brood War crashes on windows 7. Sorry man.
If you see an amazing game, or moment within a game, on any Twitch.tv Brood War stream, PM me a link to the archived vod, tell me when it happens, and I'll upload that part as a clip to Youtube.

Most are difficult to find yourself without explicitly looking for them. One example that is legal is keeping Terran turrets from firing by first maneuvering a Protoss observer directly above one and then pressing the "Stop" command on the observer. Things like that you won't really think to even try without first hearing about it so you shouldn't be worried about accidentally breaking a rule.
BW runs fine on Windows 7. I don't even run iCCup launcher with compatibility enabled. Have fun and go learn some builds!

disable collour cycling in game, that does fix it.
The harder it becomes, the more you have to focus on the basics

Well because there are so many Koreans, not the nicest place for new players to practice imo.
For a totally new player Fish would be an awful choice (maybe it's different if you know Korean and can communicate though). He'd get banned from melee games for having to dl (and even in game, would be just getting crushed.)
Best bet, as has been suggested is sGs. Try to make some friends and find people who are new to play with. For total beginners play by yourself a bit and watch some basic stuff on youtube to get started.
edit: BW has always worked totally fine for me on Windows 7 both 32 and 64 bit pro versions (on two different systems.) The only tiny bug is sometimes colors go weird in lobbies but in game is always fine.
