8000 games with 50% winrate.
If someone plays Zerg and 6 pooling then the games will take about 5 minutes.
The total will be about 666 hours.
If that someone plays 6h/day then it will take 111 days.

That someone will be known as Mr.Cheese and have gotten $3/hour to SC2 using the same strategy for 4 months...that is if someone else don't get there first. :D

If you start off playing random, assuming you get perfectly even wins with each race, then you'll have 1000 random wins and 333 as each race. Then youd have to get 667 wins as each race individually, which rounds to total out to around 3000 total games you would actually have to win if you did it right.

hmm I don't think it works like that, it's only 1000 wins when you pick random records as wins with random, not with protoss/zerg/terran

hmmm is there anything that could prevent people from account sharing? looking at hotkeys and apm might not work since they can use the same... and if they are smart they won't be playing 24/7 on it...

Fayth, props for throwing this money up, but IMO it'd be better spent on a tournament. Right now, 2,000 USD will get you the best players there is to compete and itd be more... timely and a lot more visual. :D

Just my thoughts.

Edit: You also have the chance of being hunted and murdered by someone who loses to someone else moments, maybe even days before. lol

How does anyone know Fayth will go through with this? Not to raise doubt on his integrity, but no one really knows him, he has a fairly small number of posts, and it would suck to grind hardcore and get that first, and then find that your not getting the prize. If this is actually going to be taken seriously, Nazgul or someone should be holding the money, that way everyone knows its legit.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Nobody's said the obvious thing. With a bit of account sharing, this is possible. Not easy. But possible. I don't see any other way. (Afaik, account sharing is against Battlenet ToS and technically could get you banned.)

Have you considered people switching off on a shared account?

yeah it's prohibited, so if there's any evidence of someone account sharing then he's just out of the course

Well he could give it to feed poor african children or help cancer research or to pay my rent, but it's his money so its kinda useless for others to complain that he's using it wrong :/

My question would be how you'd find out about whether or not they've been sharing accounts.

I can't find the part where I was complaining or saying he is "wrong", I guess "props for throwing money up", "IMO" and "just my thoughts" weren't enough to stop you from writing what you wrote. While poor African children or cancer are a greater cause, they don't involve Starcraft 2.

Heh. Well, if this is legit that could bite you in the ass. It's only ~23 wins per day. A game takes ~10-20 minutes normally, so anyone playing 7+ hours who is good with all three races could do this. It's a pretty crappy payoff for that amount of work, but those people would be playing that much with or without the bet.

I wouldn't do this even if I had a 100% win rate and he was paying 10x as much... I can't believe some of you are considering the challenge! It's such a huge RL sacrifice...
