I disagree, it should go for someone who addicted enough to play that much, not for someone who's doing nothing all day but ladder-abuse to get the achievement. I dont think the OP wants to pay the one who finds the best way of dodging real games, but for the one who plays the most actively, and with every race. You do know the time limit was added so that wouldnt be possible? None can be so addicted to play 5,000-7,000 normal games in that time limit and enjoy themself.
I guess some can. If you play agressive, not cheese every game, but agressive, a match lasts about 10-12 minutes IRL, say you have 10 hours for sc, some ppl have more, let's say that's 40-50 games / day. We al know more can be done easily, we all haerd about ppl lpaying 100 games a single day. So 100 days are enough for about 5k games, if someone is addicted and has a scheduel. I think it's doable, sure as hell i wont try, but there should be more done for 2k dolars then repetative ladder abuse.

I don't think it's possible to fail fast cheese 50% of the time, wonder if that guy is quitting half of his games to stay in bronze :o

rofl, wow, that's awesome.

1k+ wins bronze league? That guy has to have found an exploit of some sorts. I don't see how you can NOT move up to et least silver, haha :D

It's pretty simple really.
He just worker rushes every game. Also he instantly leaves games that are on 4 player maps to stay in bronze.

the new rule is pretty dumb. obviously fayth is trying to make it impossible so he doesn't have to pay, while laughing at people for trying anyways.

Here's his strat and the 1000 win.
http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=details&id=139334
Here is my 1000th win as a random in solo. Most of my games were from 2-5 minutes long. Here is how I did it.
1. Bronze league obviously.
2. Avoid Terrans. Just quit when facing them because they lift off in anger after you kill their workers.
3. Once game starts, select all workers. (Build extra guy but not really necessary).
4. Attack move to enemy base.
5. Watch enemy die to your outnumbered workers.
Took a long time even with this method. Was able to alt-tab and browse web or watch TV while I did this most of the time. This final win pretty much sums up over half of my wins.

too bad we need to provide a replay pack now

Wow, I'm going to do exactly what Pennoyer does so I can get the Nova portrait.

replay pack of 3k+ games? for real?
Edit: ROFL, just watched the replay. This guy should obviously be awarded the prize for pure entertainment value.

Unfortunately, Pennoyer is not going for Solo Zen Master. He just wanted his 1,000 random wins.

I find it incredible he is winning games attack moving with 7 peons.. like wtf.. Do bronze players seriously not know how to do anything?? Like.. By the time his 7 peons gets to an opponents base, they should have like 9 or 10 scvs.. which id take a guess 10 scvs > 7 scvs.. but apparently not.

That replay was amazing. Thank you :D

I was doing this in Bronze league a couple of hours ago and I SCV rushed Pennoyer.
Of course, I didn't rush with the initial 6. After many losses by using just 6-7 SCVs, I discovered this fail proof method for Bronze league (if they play normal).
If you're against Protoss, build 10 SCVs and save 50-60 minerals, then rush just as the 9th SCV comes out. When you get to his base, set 2 SCVs to auto-repair and win.
If you're against Zerg, just rush starting out. If the Zerg 6 pools, you should get there before the pool reaches 25%. Take care of the drones and you should be able to kill the pool before it finishes.
Attack moving just wasn't winning enough games for me, as I tried it and failed 60% of the time according to my W/L ratio. Some of your workers will attack the hatch/nexus, leaving you with 3-4 workers versus their 7-8.

this pennoyer guy's experience actually sheds some light on the matchmaking and league system. for instance # of games played does not make it harder to move up or down leagues. as he says if he goes on a streak he will get promoted to silver.
|
sounds fun
EDIT: i dont know the races enough to get this in time... maybe someone like TLO who played rand at the beginning of beta (or even now) would be able to

Agreed. People that offer a prize and then backtrack to make it more difficult in the guise of "fairness" are annoying little bastards.
