I don't have the time to go through the 19 pages to find out if someone has calculated this.
So I'm going to do the math.

If you have a 100% win rate you have to play about 4000 games.
You are not allowed to cheese so every game will take about 20-30 game minutes, some games will take longer so the average is 30-40 in game minutes. Every in game minute is about 43 real life seconds.

So
35*60=2100
35*17=595
2100-595=1505/60=25,08

So every game is about 25 real life minutes
4000*25=100.000 minutes if you win every game.

100.000/60=1666,67 hours
1666,67/24=69,44 days
69,44/30=2,3 months

If you start now you will be finishing in the last days of october.

But say you are not the perfect Starcraft 2 gamer just an average Joe like me. You will have about 50% win rate. Then the time is about 200.000 minutes.

200.000/60=3333,33 hours
3333,33/24=138,89 days
138,89/30=4,6 months

if you start now you will finish in the begging of January.

Good Luck

correct me if i'm wrong.

A win as random counts also as a win towards the race you were. So if you play exclusively random, you can cut that time by up to 3000 games. (It will probably be a little more than 1000 games since you are unlikely to get exactly 1000/1000/1000).

Sentient either you need to check your logic or your post is just a little miss worded you only need to win exactly 3000 games. Winning as random counts towards the race you won as. Once you have 1000wins as random you can focus on each race if you wish. Once you have 1000 with wins with a single race you should stop randoming as wins with that race will not count for the achievement. The account closest to it atm that I can find is: http://rts-sanctuary.com/index.php?portal=SC2&act=sc2Statistics&cmd=02&id=346887

Looks like he has mainly cheesed or done something crazy

you are wrong on the 20 to 30 minutes average game time is much closer to 15 minutes even if you dont cheese because other people cheese a lot

Oh yea, didn't account for other people cheesing. But sometimes you also encounter a 1 hour game. I would say it was 20 not 15.
Well it's late don't have the will power to recalculate this.

Fayth is mean ... He's making it impossible because cheesing isn't allowed. It's about an achievement and you can't use a style of play? I mean come on, I know it's his event and all, but all he wants is some popularity and isn't expecting anyone to achieve this so he could just say fifty thousand if you get it...

And for all the people calculating, better start playingnow... 5 thousand games (60% winrate) is impossible even for a pro gamer as they analyze their games. I don't like these competitions -.-.

Well gl to people trying to get this anyways... (Rather play to enjoy)

WHy do people keep saying you're not allowed to chhese, you can cheese as long as cheese isnt all you do. The point is if you 6 pool every game then you can leave very quickly when you know it's not working so then this challenge isn't much of a challenge. Yes cheese every now and then but don't be like mondragon in the TSL qualifiers who did overpool 12 speedling runby something like 80% of his games.

$2000 sounds like a lot..but just look at the time commitment

Say its a total of 3000 games that you do (1000 as random, then round out with the other 3 races). With a 100% win rate and averaging only 10 minutes per game thats 30000 minutes or 500 hours. $2000 is only $4/ hr. That is at the absolute best case. It would probably be more like 4500 games at something like 18 minutes (averaging short 10 min games and long 25-30 min games). That's around $1.50 / hr ($2000/(81000/60)).

So if you are doing this for the money you could use your time and just get a job and make much more money. Now of course its much more fun to play SC2 and win money but per hour its really nothing compared to a real job.

several people mentionned that and I went through this already, if you'd rather work, by all mean, go work. I'm offering a challenge, not a job.

Wait a minute, you want over 1000 replays?

All replays will be checked for hotkeys, showing any similarities between games, if play styles don't match this challenge reward may be void. Play at your own risk, orginizer has right to refuse awarding the prize due to suspecious activity.
