For a year? 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.

geez you guys are overreacting, some people can do this without really trying hard, I've probably played poker like 10 hours a day for 1 year straight in 2008 and I didn't get sick or anything, some people work 80 hours / week and you don't see them drop dead after 6 months

You only need 3000 wins since random counts toward the others. This seems easily possible for someone who plays every day and has a good ratio.

Isn't this, um, discriminatory and/or illegal for a contest?


why? it's his contest.


There are laws regarding contests that vary from state to state and country to country, and for the contest to be "legal," it has to adhere to every contest law in which it is open. That's why you see clauses like "Void where prohibited." Though it's an individual as opposed to an institution, so I'm not sure how much all of this holds.

At the very least, it should be clarified whether people living in Korea or people who are Korean are not allowed. You could say that Russians aren't allowed and still have that ambiguity.

6 months, roughly 180 days.
3000 wins as stated above avg to 16.6667 wins.

It's gonna get progressively harder though if you keep winning... But you could throw games to lower the comp I guess.

I'd do it cuz I have all the nerd time in the world, but I don't want to waste that nerd time when there is no way to check for shared accounts.

I'd try it for 20.000 $ though (-_-)

I bet this guy could do it:

anna gonna's story

imo, this kinda thing would only be worth it if you also tried to improve while playing, as well as have a hole lot of fun doing it. The money would just be a added bonus; As the real reward would be a shiny new icon, bragging rights, and a awesome story.

1000 terran wins
1000 protoss wins
1000 zerg wins
1000 random wins (it appears the race you get is counted as a win for the race so you're all better off starting with random)

(that's $0.66 per win)

Good luck! =)

Probably going to take a long while so bump this thread/message me when it's done

Edit: added time frame so it would put pressure on those who wanna participate, also account sharing is prohibited obv


So by january 28th at 11:59 EST if nobody has made it, well I keep da monies 8)


NEW RULE: Must provide replay pack, cheesing EVERY game is not allowed, so upon reviewing replays if someone was trying to free win every single game then he's DQ'ed


MY money is on TLO for getting this one.

I'm not sure I feel more sad about the person playing all those games or the guy who has to check if he's cheesing every game

Anyhow GL to anyone trying to do it!

lol at the people that don't think this is even possible. are you guys serious?

there are much harder things in life that people do every day!
grats to whoever does it. even if you learn very slowly, you'll still be good after that many games, haha.

Because they don't know any other significant name and just wanted to namedrop in a popular thread(tm) but had nothing to contribute to the discussion. That was my feeling anyway. I don't see why TLO would play 4000 games for a chance at 50 cents per game when he has the skills to potentially get paid $2000 for 15 games worth of tournament.

TLO could probably do it without trying.

He probably wins 16-20 games a day w/ random easily. The only hard part for him would probably be getting the Protoss wins as he's said he's leaning towards going only Zerg/Terran.
