Not confirmed but I assume making a new team with a friend and winning all those placement matches would work. Anyway there still appears to be a problem its not appearing for some people who should be getting it and randomly being awarded to some people who didnt win all there placement matchs. | ||

It's frustrating that it seems that I have to find some random friend to do placement matches with. did you do this TODAY? I think what he means is, the achievement was just turned on with the patch yesterday, so you need to go 5-0 in placements now, not 2 months ago. | ||

I was placed in silver yesterday in case anyone was wondering (it's a new account on the NA server, previously was on SEA). So I dunno, maybe there's still a chance... | ||

I had an Illidan in wc3, and not a day would go by where someone wouldn't comment on it. It reminds me of Runescape haha. You spend 4 hours a day for 6 months cutting a tree, and then you get a skillcape. And people say, nice 99wc or nice cape, but if that's what makes people happy let it be. I myself get achievements because I want to complete the game. I don't like freestyling stuff when Im not done. So will I get 700 custom wins before I ladder? Yes. Will I get 800 FFA wins before I ladder seriously? Most likely. Most people think that's insane and stupid, but it makes the game good for me. Not to say I don't take a break every now and then to play with friends. | ||

Threads made about it seem to go by unnoticed. Also has anyone contacted customer support regarding this? What did they say? maybe cause it's not a big deal and it's not even worth any points customer support doesn't deal with things like this, they only deal with problems with your account, or your game not working | ||

Along with reports from friends, I can think of nothing that explains the behavior of this achievement. I'm guessing its bugged. | ||

It was a little more fun that I expected it would be, it's interesting to take on the variety of challenges and figure out the best way to accomplish the most difficult tasks. I know it's silly but I do get some feeling of accomplishment from pulling off tasks like 20 ghost snipe kills in a league game. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit there and play for countless hours, just farming wins against the computer... and it's mind-boggling to me that there are achievements for farming hundreds of wins against the computer in 2v2 and 3v3 teams. Does anyone even do this? I mean, I'm sure some people will do it because it's an achievement... but aside from that, does anyone sit there with two friends and team up against 3 computers all night long? I'll be honest, I am slightly proud of my 3250 achievement score. I do check other people's profiles and notice their scores. I've noticed all of the serious players have low scores and tons of horrible players have high scores... haha. I also checked the profile of a couple of serious achievement chasers who posted in achievement threads on here... one guy had something like 3920, which made me feel a little less proud of my score... which helped to remind me how utterly silly and pointless all of this stuff is. But I think it's OK for a game you really love. | ||

Does anyone even do this? i beat all the custom game achievements while on the phone, and i watch sc2 streams/tv/talk to people/whatever while getting the coop achievements. since i already finished insane wins before patch 1.1, its even easier to not pay attention on medium. now i dont have to time to pound out 20 coop games while watching a movie, but i can still win a 2vAI as a break between assignments, whereas laddering would definitely not be possible. also, playing against medium can be a good way to practice apm/multitasking/general macro without having to think of in depth strategy and wondering what your opponent is doing, but i only do that with IRL friends who prefer playing ai instead of team ladder as it is a little boring | ||

I had gone 3-0 in my 1V1 placement matches, when I decided to do some 2V2 (could've been 3V3). That's when I got the achievement. Certainly bugged and will probably be patches in V1.2 | ||

I actually had never done 2v2 random so I started that up. Teammates were awful, I spent most of my time saying "please make units", managed to win 4 in a row with my mutas though. (I swear my teammate had 5 in base hatcheries and 2500 minerals, tons of extra larvae spawned from queens, I saw an army coming and begged him to make lings... he wouldn't do it. "I'm going infestors!") So the fifth game starts... and my teammate is afk. Just sitting there, probes not doing anything, I'm pretty annoyed. Opponents are awful at least... a super fail cannon rush and badly controlled reapers come to me, I fend it off. Teammate finally disconnects so I can start using his base to get income... I start massing mutas and lings and take out the terran. The protoss was a real challenge though, he was putting up cannoned expansions and producing army on a regular basis... finally after almost an hour I'm able to win the game and go 5-0 in placement. AND THE *@$^#%* ACHIEVEMENT DOESN'T ACTIVATE. AGGGGGGGRHGRGRHGRHRGHRG | ||

I am just wondering when activision will force blizzard to introduce some new achievements for money. So far they have one, which I'll never have. Buy the collectors edition. Forgot what's the name for it. | ||

Perhaps those who get 5-0 in a placement match and who didn't get the achievement probably has the trigger for the achievement bugged up somewhere, and that the only way to get it to trigger is to keep playing. Accordingly, the players who got the achievement after a loss or a non-placement match suddenly caused a previous 5-0 placement record to finally trigger the achievement. I don't know. I hate it when the game is unpredictable like this. | ||

Yes, this achievement is active. Sometimes people have been getting it at weird times - seemingly random. However, the people who actually in 5 games in a row are also getting the achievement - so its not too serious. If you cant get it, just make a new team. | ||
