i honestly think Pennoyer should have won this, but his achievement is greater than the $2000 anyway.


How is that greater?

all he did was worker rush and leave if he faced terran..


worker rush doesnt work against terran?

If I'm not mistaken, it's not a coincidence that he has ~6000 games with 3000 wins; unless he was top Diamond, bnet would assign him towards stronger opponents if he would win every game. So... he had to throw away half of the games on purpose, to stay in Bronze and get the fastest wins possible. It's the optimal strategy, because Bnet simply won't let you win, it will keep assigning you stronger opponents, until it starts giving you IdrA and HuK each time. You are better off dropping every second game as soon as it loads, for the optimal achievement speed.

viraltouch needs to go back to the League of Legend forums....

Awesome work Fayth, I think Blizzard has been utterly and totally amazing. They make awesome games with fantastic support and community collaboration, I wish I had a vastly expendable income so I could support them too =P I guess they'll just have to make do with my AU$99 till I win the lotto and can afford my own publicity stunts hehe

I think the money should go to pennoyer since even against your cheesing rules he did win, he was first. It's like blizzard taking away athene's world first. Acknowledge that he did it send him the money and maybe have someone else get another 2000$ for the "Non Cheesing" Solo zen master.


This.

Being first, even though cheesing is quite the feat. At least 6200 games in 5 weeks, I certainly couldn't that using same strategy.

really? only 637 wins to be on pace? Thats not much at all. If someone started the first week playing just solo, no team/etc it would be very reasonable/possible to attain the goal.

There's only one person with significantly more than 637 wins on Random and higher than Bronze League, and that person quit at 1,000 wins.

http://sc2ranks.com/ranks/all/diamond/1/random/wins/0

Using about 15 different unit rushes (had 5+ rushing build orders per race, depending on map and matchup) got me promoted into Diamond (and demoted out of Diamond) with that many wins, even though I had no experience playing the original StarCraft melee/ladder (and only played the StarCraft II beta for about a week).

So that probably still counts as cheese, I guess...

the same way that Pennoyer did it... worker rush every game. A lot of people are actually doing the Pennoyer method just to get portraits.

Worker rush versus who? Nobody loses to that - or he loses in purpose to play lowest bronze players?

I'd start playing random, but I'm freaking terribad. It'd take me around 9k games to get all those wins.

because the majority of players in bronze don't take their guys off mining while they are getting attacked (a lot of diamond players in 2s/3s/4s don't even do this, it's pretty pathetic) or they don't know that you can attack move.

Omg im so confused, can people please clarify this shit for me.

1. How does Pennoyer have that many wins and no points - custom games? Or does he just quit every 2nd game to keep it at 50/50?

2. How the hell can you win with a worker rush? I just don't understand how this works since your opponent will have more workers than you.
