If I close the computer slot during the countdown I get a draw as soon as the game starts.

Got 8:45 with 6 nexus then 15 gate zeal on the first try, build could use a little refinement though as my 5th and 6th nexuses were built when I had 800 minerals.

Edit: never occurred to me that I could click "continue playing".

Edit: Got 8:34 with 5 nexus then zeals, it seems to be just a bit better than 6 nexus mostly because the 6th base is so far away that the maynard time is too costly. Anyway this seems to be the limit with protoss, I tried 4 times and couldn't improve on this. It really pays to build all the pylons first, then all the gates, then the zeals, and build all zeals at once. Otherwise it's annoying searching through gates to find which of them aren't producing. Rep here:

8:25 with toss, with pretty much perfect execution, don't think it's humanly possible to do it any faster

truth is, there was the exact same contest held in the hungarian community, you can find all my replays of that competition.
uploaded the latest replays on rapidshare to avoid bloodshed clicky
please watch them only if you have completely run out of ideas, it took me quite some time to come up with the optimal builds. that doesn't mean there's no faster way of course, just that i don't know of any

27 seconds later after making a post you post again saying you got 8:25 with toss?
We Need Replays!!

edit: how about you just give us the link to it? you really expect us to google "hungarian tournament sc bw fastest max" and find your replays?

sorry if i came out as hostile. but i'm just a bit skeptical about what you're saying. you have 8 posts and 6 of them were from this thread so i don't really think anyone here knows you well enough to believe what you're saying without proof.

what's the point of saying you beat the times in this contest when you're breaking the rules
"-If you managed to broke one of the records, prove it by uploading the replay. I will update this post with the current records."

i'll believe you when i see your replays. if you really have them like you said you did from the hungarian community tournament, you might as well post them. don't reply with another excuse or it'll be obvious you're faking it, or atleast that's my take on it.

i had edited my post above, there's a link with the most recent replays. i still believe posting them to be a mistake, since people WILL copy the BOs no matter what, but as you are so impatient there you go. i first sent them to overlord so that he could check them and update the OP, but he doesn't seem to be around a computer i guess.

The replays DO exist of course, but I thought it would be better/more fun/more productive to let people try out their own ideas first. Anyway, for the scepical ones:

Zerg http://sc.replays.hu/repek.php?repid=5545
Terran http://sc.replays.hu/repek.php?repid=5571
Protoss http://sc.replays.hu/repek.php?repid=5591

On a side note, I totally agree with deekin. I've spend several hours in finding the optimal timings for starting factories/supply depots/gateways/pylons, because that's what matters the most. As far as I can see, he used very similar timings but better execution than me (maybe I'm wrong - if yes, sorry), so if you wanna experiment and come up with the best solution on your own, don't watch the replays.

Actually, when I held the contest in the hungarian community, it had two stages for each race. In the first "secret stage", only the best times were available, but no replays. In the second "open stage" the replays of the best three times were released.

Why not post a screenshot from the replay, just at the point at which you hit 200/200.

Or we have to get some referees to judge this. But then again, its not like here is anything to win .


My first try was 9:20 with T with 3cc and vultures.

Just a quick question for those of you that used/are using terran. Since you need to make a barracks anyway, are you also making marines from it the entire time, or is the money better spent on vultures? I am sure at some point the vultures would overtake the forgone minerals on the marines, but I am not sure if that would happen before or after you could reach 200/200.
