[subject_battlenet]I recently found out that there is a new independent Battle.net server out there just like GameI, where you can compete and climb in the ladder rankings. The server is Russian but that should not be to much of a problem beacause it's easy to register an account on their homepage. Visit their site by clicking this link http://starcraft.org.ru/ladder.
To register an account look in the upper right hand side of the page and click the link under the "Login" button. Now scroll down and click "Agree" and fill in some forms. It's very easy!
The ladder itself seems nice and from what I've heard they are working on it to improve it right now. To connect to the server you'll need a gateway program which I will include a later on. There you add: fsgs.starcraft.org.ru or 195.208.212.5 and you will be able to connect to their server through the starcraft gateway selector. Enjoy!
Server info:
Address: fsgs.starcraft.org.ru
Location: Moscow
Country: Russia
*It seems like now you only need to create an account on the server, not their page like I described above!
