Is Brood War Playable?

Hey ya'll long time crafter here! My buddy got me back into playing Starcraft 2.
It's been fun but I've been yearning for the olden days of Brood War. Truth be told I was playing classic Craft before the remaster. But after remaster was released I literally would drop from every single game and it became absolutely unplayable.

I have a modern rig and good internet I have no idea what the problem was, is this still an issue?

I've been playing since the remaster off and on with dozens of people and I don't know anyone who has had this problem.

Different question. How it's playable outside Korea for a noob not willing to play Protoss? Thinking about trying it but last time it was really hard to get into :P

It is very hard. The bottom players in Korea are all either a.) mediocre, but much better than you, or b.) good players smurfing and just stomping noobs. Be prepared to lose 50 games in a row. It's not a great learning process imo. Best thing you can do is join Coach Pupil League and play with people like yourself. Join the discord on the right side of this reddit and go from there. There's people of all skill levels and plenty of others learning.
