Doesn't seem worth it if you achieve it by grinding out boring stratergies. Doesn't seem possible if you just play normally. 60% win rate 20 minutes per game is more than 12 hours per day. Seriously? Actually come to think of it you could play random. That might take it down to 9 hours a day, but thats still rediculous. You get sick and you have to catch up on 9 hours. I don't think I could play 9 hours a day for more than a fortnight before getting bored. It's an impossible request, make it a year, thats still a very tough challenge. | ||

Good luck to anyone trying for this. | ||

Maybe you should consider something like, 3000+win with a POSITIVE record, that will make people play for real not grinding... Very nice idea though  With this, you may help alot of semi or wanna be pro fulfill their dream :D | ||

No longer speaking to Fayth from this point on in the post--I'm speaking to others in the thread. Remember that the SC2 1v1 ladder, like Poker, has a zero-sum element--there are never 2 winners in a 1v1. Far be it from me to discourage you from attempting to win this. Go for the rainbow, chase your dreams and all that jazz. Just don't get sucked into making an unrealistic effort at winning this contest because you have starry-eyed dreams that are not backed up by the grounding in reality necessary to see just what you're trying to do. 4000 wins, even if you average 10-12 minutes per win somehow, that's over 1000 hours of nonstop winning. You'll be competing with others who have the same idea, and each time you win you run the risk of raising your league and getting in against diamond players. If you're a bronze, copper, silver, whatever the hell player on average, you're probably being made a joke of by claiming to try and win this tournament. Don't forget drops, lagging out, service outages, getting rushed on the one map you don't know as well as the rest. Mods, apologies if I'm being excessively negative but I truly thought about this and think it's a bad idea. If Fayth is just taking a very indirect route toward trying to get more people playing on the 1v1 ladder to serve as fish, then I'm sure it will be successful, but with a $2000 prize for the offering I'd love to see him use that power toward creating some sort of awesome event or themed tournament using new maps and a selected playerbase. Not my money, though, I know! edit: I made this post before seeing Fayth's most recent, stating that the winner would be disqualified for excessive cheesing. Really, when you start having to make qualifiers like that to even give the contest a chance at veracity, you ought to see that you have taken a poor approach... | ||

I don't think it's possible. However, if it was possible, well, doing something like this would ruin someone's life. I do not envy the winner. I actually think this contest may be unethical, with such a strict timeframe. Not the kind of thing I would be endorsing if I was Fayth. | ||

I completely agree, I'm a bit astonished this is being allowed. | ||
