I just mean there are more pressing issues. We're only required to submit the win replays, right? What if someone left within 5 min everytime that they weren't gonna have a quick win? Let's say a cheese gets scouted and they d/c right away. Isn't that a lot worse than cheesing in the first place? Or how about people that d/c within 1sec of the game starting a few times so they can stay in bronze/silver leagues and have an easier time cheesing people for wins? What goes and what doesn't? Cheesing shouldn't disqualify when so many other things are open for people to do.

I'll ship 2000$ to the first player who gets the Solo Zen Master achievement on US or Europe server within 6 months, no koreans allowed obv
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



A good player can easily do this in 4-5 months playing random. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do such a feat. Good luck to anyone who participates. Right now I think David Kim is in the lead.

No player can easily do this, since match maker will out you around 50%, lets say 60% for a good player. Minnium you need 3000 wins, thats 5000 games. Say an average of just 10 minutes a game (thats really fast). 50,000 minutes, 833 hours or ~35 days. 6 months times 30 days = 180 days 35/180 = .1944, 19.44% so 1/5 of your time you have to be playing 1v1 starcraft ladder games doesnt sound to easy to me. That is with 10 minute games, so it is likely closer to 1/4 of your time. If anyone pulls this off, mad props to them

Everyone, you should realize that being better at the game won't get you those wins faster. You will eventually hit around 50% win ratio thanks to AMM.
If you want to earn those wins fast without cheesing or cheating, you really should let go of games when you are significantly behind. If you win a game with all odds against you then it most likely will take forever and even increase your MMR. Which leads to facing better opponents, which will eventually net you more losses anyways.

Just play games, and concede once you fall behind significantly. Trying too hard will not help you at all. Unless Fayth edits the OP so that you have to play every single game to the very end :p
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Concede once you fall behind significantly is right... but what's to stop people from disconnecting and losing a handful of games within a few seconds just to get their MMR lower? I mean, the opposing player isn't gonna be upset 'cause they just got a free win and the cheaters now get to play weaker players.

Edit: P.S. has anyone confirmed how much money Fayth is paying out? 2000$ or 20 000$? Fayth did say this:

what, you wouldn't do it for 20 000$? 4000 games in 6 months for 20 000$, that's like a full time job, people get paid less than that to work at mcdonald, you're playing SC2 here


2nd Edit: Sorry, I missed the context of Fayth's post... 2000$ it is LOL XD

Well I guess Fayth definitely should ask for ALL replays, including losses. That way he can check a few of the shorter losses and verify that those were legit games. It should be able to verify the total game count, and (at least by then) there probably are some good replay analyzing tools to further help check those games.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

That is why I said mentioned 'time.' I think you would pleasantly surprised with how many gamers play this game 4-8 hours a day. There are a lot of guys who can mass game with no problem at all given a certain time frame. There are many examples out there including TSL, ICCUP, etc. So no it isn't far fetched at all. You would just have to skip most tournaments and use all your free-time playing ladder.

I'm sure most of us are more interested in seeing who gets Solo Zen Master first rather than how "well" they did it o.o

I don't think that is a legitimate way of proving how you played. You could just play legit for those last 20 games and not do so for the other thousand before.

Always wondered about the 'rules' for this give away. What's the difference between 'always' cheesing and cheesing 999 times and playing legit once? Who even decides what 'cheese' means? I mean it's Fayth cash so if Fayth wants to be ambiguous about the rules I guess that's Fayth's prerogative but I'd hate to have ground out a minimum of 3000 wins only be the disqualified because I 'cheesed' an arbitrary number of times especially without even knowing what the arbitrary number is before hand or what is and is not considered cheese in context.
My vanity is justified

This obviously, but assuming you are actually going for it RobPG then i assume you are not even 20% there, so i doubt it will be a huge problem if you talk to fayth and show up with say 2500 replays instead of 3k

I don't know why he would do this, but I'm pretty sure its legit cuz Jinro said so. I'm not going to bother competing because school is coming up and I can't play all day. I know there is some people with 500 wins already, but that's only with one race. So it may be in about 1 year.

http://www.sc2ranks.com/ranks/us/diamond/1/random/points/0#wins:0

unphazed is at 340 wins

That is the highest i could find for a random player. That is just about on pace if he keeps it up he has a chance.

Sadly site doesnt like you rank by wins, but i looked through the first 10 pages of random players. There may be someone higher but I doubt it

Ironically enough if David Kim (Dayvie) gets the icon first, I don't think that legally he would be able to accept the reward since he works for Blizzard?

I know there is something somewhere about conflicts of interest and why we don't see him in tournaments.

There are more details in the thread below
