The best part is there are probably hundreds of bronze leaguers now under the impression that is a viable strategy xD "Well if it worked on me..." | ||

Btw i considered 16 hours the maximum possible time you can sit at a computer all day every day and not experience health problems (other than obesity etc) Here's the different win ratios playing 6 hours daily: 50% 6 hours 8000games: 444days 50% 16 hours daily 8000 games: 166 days 75% 6: 333 days 75% 16: 125 100%: 222 days 100% 16 hours: 83 considering i'd bet the fun level would look like a logarithmic curve and that minimum wage is around 7 dollars/hr (6 hours * 7 dollars/hr => 42 * 83 = 3486$) this doesn't sound reasonable to the contested (if the hardcore 16 a dayer worked for 6 hours a day instead of starcraft, they'd still have time for 10 hours of sc + an extra 1486$, not a bad compromise considering i don't think anybody can play sc from the time they wake up til the time they sleep 83 days in a row and win 100% of matches, which would turn them pro where they'd likely make a whole lot more money) This IS however good for those contestants who already play 16 hours daily This is even BAD for those who can average 12 games an hour (cheese). At this rate someone with 50% (high estimation for pure cheese, especially because they'd almost certainly rank into higher leagues) win rate playing 8 hours daily would take 166 days to complete this Basically i'm trying to say this is an impossible challenge where if it were even possible it gives a lower return on investment than working a 4 hour shift at fast food restaurants. I'd give infinite money to anyone that wouldn't give up | ||

Luckily I know for a fact they didn't already save their replays. | ||

True....this is why you don't enter random internet contests. There's always someone who gets to the prize much quicker than anticipated and the creator comes through with random bullshit rules that make the contest impossible. Seriously who didn't see this coming? | ||

Seriously who didn't see this coming? yeah man. he totally owes whoever that was free money because he attained the letter of the goal without achieving the intent or spirit of it. Fayth obviously has a fiscal responsibility to this player who browses the internet while he plays starcraft. | ||

I could really care less if he pays or not...just think its funny he didn't mention the rules from the start when it was obvious there would be people who would try to cheese every game to win as much as possible. | ||

I like how it stresses the uselessness of win ratios. He has a 48% win ratio by 100% worker rushing. | ||
