Fayth's doing this because he has the money to do it, wants to see a challenging task completed, and gets a kick out of it. No one is going to sit at home and be like, "I need to win this challenge so I can feed my family or pay my rent", they're going to do it because they love playing the game and have the time to do so/want to improve and are looking to be a competitive player Sweet offer, look forward to seeing how it plays out | ||

I think this is a new take on the sponsoring of events, a cool contest, and I can't wait to see how long it takes. | ||

I think you people are underestimating how hardcore some grinder are. I've been playing some MMOs for like 2 years myself, and 14h / day average for 4 months is totally doable. | ||

You have something negative to say about everything, you just trolling or is a stick stuck up your butt? And everyone making these stupid math equations trying to compare work with video games are simply looking at things very very wrong. You aren't getting hired to play, Fayth is being a cool person and dishing out cash to people who like the game and play a lot anyways. If you don't think it's worth it then don't do it and have fun working for McDonalds while everyone else plays for fun and maybe gets some cash on top of it. Of course it inter-fears with your social life but common how many people let it do that already with no money incentive. | ||

That makes no sense at all Well some people are far too dense to realize that in between games you can eat / do some push-ups / take a break etc.  | ||

I just find it hysterical that I just posted a response to all of these "Well I can make more money doing *Insert stupid job here* then playing for fun!" And it continues... Anyway, has anyone taken this challenge on seriously yet or are people getting jobs at their local burger joint instead? Just curious as to whom is going for this. | ||

There was a popular post on the Blizzard forums with some calculations. Apparently if you're playing 15 minute games on average, it would take you 700+ days of 4 hour sessions to get all 8 of these including the team achievements. Since we're only dealing with 1v1 achievements, I guess this would take a bit less than 187 days of 8 hour sessions, assuming that all of your games are around 15 minutes long and that you maintain your 1:1 ratio. Actually 6 months seems exactly right. Although, 8 hours every day? Hmm. 8 Hours seems like too much for an RTS. | ||

I'd advise quitting any game that looks like you'll lose slowly. At a certain point you may want to quit any game that seems like it'll go over 40 minutes-- even if you think you can win eventually.

But with an opportunity to make some money out of it. Not if you do the math. Approaching this challenge casually will lead to failure, guaranteed. Fayth's put a time limit on this thing. Imo, you won't be able to do it (let alone be first to do it) unless you're approaching SC2 like someone that's gonna turn it into a career. | ||
