If you payed $2300/month I'd consider quitting my job and going for this full-time, otherwise it's not really worth it.

1250h for 2000$ is about 1.6$ per hour, which is about 1.22€. And this is being severely underpaid I do almost double of that per hour working as lifeguard, and lifeguard is a very poorly paid job, so... nah The only people i can see doing this, are the ones that already play a lot independently of this.

Wait. What?

You earn €2.44/hour? Where do you live, bosnia?

No What about I'm playing Toss, my Brother plays Zerg and a friend does the Terran matches. So the different play style can be explained by playing different with every race. And just the suspicion of somebody doesnt proof anything. Its impossible to proof, except with a constant webcam-stream :D^^

I could bribe a blizzard employee, do some IP check or something o_o

6 months, about 180 days. 3000 wins basically, so about 17 wins a day. Each win takes about say 15 minutes, so it's a little over 4 hours a day. Then you also factor in losses so if you're a very high level player, say you win at a 3:2 ratio. So that would mean 3000 wins, 2000 losses, and say on average each game is 15 minutes long. That's 1250 hours, or 52 days straight. 1250 hours divided by the 180 days you have to achieve this goal equals about 7 hours a day.

So basically you gotta play 7 hours a day for the next 6 months and win 60% of your games to barely achieve this.

If you'd win 50% of your games, that's 6000 games, which is about 8+ hours a day.

Maybe IdrA can do it with his practice schedule full, but probably not the average person within 6 months, but Asia can't participate lol.

I don't think this can be achieved by anyone, but if someone actually does it, they definitely deserve the $2000.

You have to win 4000 games in 6 months, or 183 days. That amounts to ~22 wins a day. 22 wins a day is pretty hard considering that you will be losing a lot of games when you are at a very high ELO. A good high ELO player will win about 60% of games. So each day, you'll have to play about 40 games. If each game takes an average of 20 minutes, then you will have to do nothing but play sc for 6 months straight.

Chairman Ray got ninja'd, but since random games do also count as other races (according to OP), only 3000 games are needed

well.

i guess he would better cheese EVERY game to finish quick. and once in a while just loose 25 games in a row (forfeit immediately after game starts) so he is demoted to platinum.

If everybody does this, the game will be ruined :|

It should be something more like... win 2500 games, and have a ratio higher than......... some value.

Hoping you get each race equally. The best would be to play random until you get one of the races completed to 1000, then just switch between those 2 races to finish off the rest.

Its simply not possible unless you are account sharing, or simply do nothing else for 6 months. 8000 games in 6 months (lets be honest here most people are not going to end up going 50% with their worst race) 41 games a day, every day. The quickest games you could have are basically 6 minutes, people hear about you going for the achievement and grief you by not leaving games until you've killed everything. Probably on average will be more than 10 hours every day of playing, even people without a life that would be hard to pull off.

Anyone playing enough to have a shot at this would get really fucking good really fucking quickly and be well above a 50% win rate after the first few hundred games or so (unless they were just cheesing every game).

You should add some sort of stipulation that people doing this have to be diamond, or atleast platinum or above. Because as people have said, regardless of how you look at it the best way to win this is by just losing games , which you can do basically instantly, and then keep meeting faceroll opponents who have 4 scvs entire game.Which I am sure we can agree on is outside of the spirit of the bet. Any player who considers taking this challenge will be fairly hardcore and should have no problem staying in atleast platinum league, which means he will meet atleast some halfcapable opponents. Not 100% sure how to keep track of this but i guess you could just say that to claim the prize, any half serious comeptitor would have to contact you, (Or for example contact you when they have gotten 1k random wins) And give you Nick/ID so you can just check in every other day to see nobody is in the bronzes.

Faith, just use that money to sponsor an awesome tournament


seems virtually impossible to do it within the timeframe you are specifying, as once you reach certain elo, you're not gonna be winning EVERY single game, especially with off-races and it being ladder.

I have a plan:

1. Hook up a bot to play my account
2. 6 pool/proxygate/bunker-rush at bronze level
3. Quit if it fails. This should keep me in bronze.
4. ????
5. Profit

No, i was talking about lifeguards who are poorly payed. 20€ / 10h, is the minimum then up to 60€ / 10h on hotter places. 10h is a day's work btw. I was trying to say that even a poorly paid job as lifeguard is better than this competition money-wise, but for those that do play a lot regardless, then maybe go for it
