I'm on Zesty as well, running on a quite old laptop with an Intel P6200 (has integrated HD Graphics). Kernel is a custom 4.11 (could provide my .config, but I doubt that this is a kernel issue)

As I don't have much experience with wine, I struggled to get this to work and tried many things over two days. From memory and current config, here's what currently works for me:
1. set up a chroot to build wine and run the game as explained here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine
2. apt-get build-dep wine32-development to satisfy the dependencies, added libva-dev manually, a plain ./configure then gives me no warnings that seem important, make && make install
3. winetricks corefonts
4. winecfg options:
- default Windows Version is Windows 7, for StarCraft.exe it's WinXP
- default Staging: checkboxes 1, 2 and 4 checked
- StarCraft.exe Staging: I just realized, that those options are also application specific...so no boxes checked, which confuses me as the STARCRAFT note in the src explicitly states to check box 4 to avoid crashes which do not happen for me
5. I used StarCraft-Setup.exe from Blizzard to install the game, the .exe for the public test realm also works

I'm not sure if this is any help, but I'd be happy to provide more information. Or even start from scratch to reproduce my exact steps.
