eSport.fund offers you an impossible ladder challenge v.3.

GOAL: MMR 2,700 any server.
BOUNTY: $1,000-
Public donations welcomed. In the case of no winner, the challenge will be terminated, and donors will be refunded according to Matcherino policy.

DEADLINE: Until the end of the year.


This challenge is only valid for non-Koreans. You should be a citizen of any country except Korea (dual citizenship counts as if you are just Korean).

Subjectivities:
  • You must stream.
  • You must record all the games played.
  • You can play on any server.
  • You can play a new or existing account.
  • You can smurf or barcode.
  • You can play from any region with a VPN or without.
  • You should not share your account.
  • You should not play more than 3 consecutive games against the same opponent. Take a brief timeout to avoid re-game matchmaking.
  • You should not beg your opponent to leave.
  • You should not fix your games.


First one takes it all.

Awesome announcement as always, Brain.
What about when the Korean opponent leaves in 5 seconds or less due to lag?
This happens often for many people from Europe and South America.

Mihu didn’t upload stream vod usually, I think he didn’t know this challenge, he just practiced for Sanpao star league tonight imo.
I just want to share his highest mmr here, not for the challenge.

Well, it's not called a "Possible challenge" now, is it?

If enough Europeans start playing actively they can boost each other up tho. That said, you're bound to run into kors but it won't be as many. Definitely possible, dunno about SA's matchmaking.

The first month of the new ladder season is going to be 2400~2500 max for first rank.
You might have to adjust the mmr points, or go by rank number.
Before the season ended, my barcode id was at 2679 rank 16. 2700 was rank 11 or 12.
Trying my best for ASL, ASTL

Because it is making really hard to follow the progress - if you want to get 2700 - your challenge result should be public - make a findable nickname

It's really easy to follow, player who plays on barcode can just share his id anywhere in the public and u can copy-paste.

Have u asked the players who play on barcode for that? It's not in Rus_brain's rules, so they don't have to do it by themselves ^_^ They make this id to hide from koreans, against non-koreans it's still obvious who is playing on given barcode.

well surely its your account you can do whatever you want, but in case of this competition i think it will be better for all not to hide a participant nickname. I really dont understand how barcode can help you play vs koreans - they will still simply leave id game lag. No options to use it
