You are a brave/foolish soul to attempt such a feat when you still have finals.

The ball won't really get rolling till after finals. But I can still fit in an hour or two a night, and after friday is winter break for me, so I can essentially play full time for 2 weeks.

I don't think anybody can get top 50 in 1 month with their offrace. Good luck to you though but I can assure you that Pvp will make you not want to play the race.


Nerchio hit 1st place GM on EU ladder as random... So it's not impossible imho.

suddenly a wild nerchio appears.

Anyway I really am sick of people switching to protoss because they want to prove some irrelevant point.
Protoss probably does take the least mechanics, but it still has its own struggles, I always find it much easier to lose with toss than any other race. By lose I mean make one game ending mistake, where the other races there are less things that will just end the game if you do them, or at least they are less common.

Just my 2 cents. Hope you enjoy the journey and goodluck to ya!

I'm really curious on which PvZ style intense is going to use, most army compositions rely a lot on good forcefields, that could be an issue for a Terran player.

I've played all three races at the same level, so that's a funny thing for you to say. For me, toss was by far the easiest. TvZ is really fun. I stuck with zerg mainly because all races have mediocre mirror matchups, but zerg gets to use mutas in all 3 matchups, so it's the most fun.

So when you fail, will it mean that you are wrong and Protoss is really not that much less challenging? I'm just curious.

You forgot to write what is being wagered.

I just want to show that protoss is less mechanically and strategically challenging than the other two races.

You know how ridiculous this is? Not because it's an established fact that protoss isn't less mechanically and strategically challenging, but because your bet isn't gonna significantly affect anyone's knowledge of the issue. At worst, the bet is gonna be used in serious arguments between idiots as if it's good evidence of some general truth.

You'll have nightmares of PvP for the next year or two after you've finished.

Nah he can just use the whole 'pvp was too boring so I had to give up' excuse.
