Whos gonna review 3000+ games worth of replays? and who is gonna keep track of all of them? Also does it really matter if a person cheeses every game? A zen master achievement is a zen master achievement... Plus a person has to play a minimum of 17 games per day without missing a day and meet the deadline and that is without losing a single game. If a person achieves this before the deadline even with cheesing everygame, I say they deserve it =/ | ||

A zerg going hatch before pool is extremely risky and if scouted can be fatal. Yet no one will call that cheesey and that can be easily abused especially againts non-aggresive players. Where as goign 5 gateways everyone screams cheese. And how much is too much? | ||

The problem with allowing cheesing, is that it will be likely someone who ends up writing a bot, and the bot will be so simple that the only way it can win, is to cheese the fights. However, from beta, we know there were some pretty well written AI's made from some players. Add an AI into a bot, and this will be a lot easier then people are thinking. | ||

How is anybody gonna have a life and fun at the same time playing 4000 games in 6 months? that's like a second work...seems more of a grind than actual fun... i'm just curious as to who would throw away 6 months of their life on this... but hey.. it's a craaaaaaaaaazy world  | ||

If a sc2 player/fan wants to spend his money to promote some sc2 competition.. that's awesome. How else would tourneys and such events even happen? obviously $2,000 is a lot to some people.. but it's also nothing for others.. Also.. can people not read.. its not 4,000 wins.. its only 3,000. Win with random = "random" win + "race you got" win So if u start with 1000 random wins.. you technically already knocked off 2,000 worth of games | ||

I'm pretty sure the rule is to prevent people from doing quick all-ins every game in order to accumulate wins quickly. Think about it: if your goal is just to get wins as fast as possible without playing legit, you might as well do not only cheese like 6pool, but do something like a blind in-base 2gate proxy on 4p maps: pick a random base to send your probe to, and hope it's the one. If you guessed the right base, it's a free win, and if you guess wrong, it's an automatic loss, but a quick one. Even though you would lose most games doing this, you would probably win around 1/3 of the time, and your losses would only take like 2-3 minutes, so you would win quite a few games an hour while using a strategy that you know is bad and would never use if you were trying to win a single game. | ||

This is seriously detrimental to your health if you do this. i was gonna say increase the prize but that only attracts more attempters and only 1 of them get the money. imo fewer then 5 would ever achieve this in 6 months so imo they all should be awarded 2k not the first one only, money aint shit to you poker players anyway. double edit. FIRST 3 gets 2k imo just too painful for the other 2 imo if its first one only | ||

Well random counts as a win for the race you are given as well, so it's obviously best to start as random for your first 1000 wins The absolute fastest way to do this, if all you cared about was getting the achievement would be to drop your placements and cheese newbies while leaving every other game the second it finishes loading. Your wins will come much faster than at any other level of play but you'll maintain the 50% win rate so you probably wont be promoted. And it only takes ~1 minute to leave a game. I dont think anyone in the right mind cares that much about these achievements. But if for some reason I wanted to be the first ever to get 1000 wins as all races, I'd do it this way | ||

I'm not saying he shouldn't do it.. it's just.. I question his personal motives for doing it... I mean, he must get something extraordinarily out of this.. seeing as few people will probaly attempt this.. so I fail to see where the benefit of the entire community falls to place.. but yea yea.. cool... also... winning 1000 random games, is alot harder than the others.. but yea okay.. some time can be saved.. | ||

1000 terran wins 1000 protoss wins 1000 zerg wins 1000 random wins ...playing team league games... Feels like that archievment is harder to grind since you need a partner and practially needs to coordinate your lifes to pull it off... | ||
