It's such a huge RL sacrifice... what, you wouldn't do it for 20 000$? 4000 games in 6 months for 20 000$, that's like a full time job, people get paid less than that to work at mcdonald, you're playing SC2 here | ||

Despite that, you have to consider: -Server down time, during beta servers would be down almost all day before a patch. I don't play WoW but I think this is a common thing for that game, it could be for SC2 too. -Search times. Assuming you aren't bad and can keep 60%, you will eventually get so high ranked you won't have anyone near your "ELO" or whatever to match. Meaning you will probably have to lose games intentionally to be able to keep matching at a good rate. -People will know what you are doing eventually, have fun NOT playing a 1 hour game with someone who wants you to play a 1 hour game. Suddenly you're no where near even 20 wins a day. | ||

Anyone with enough free time to grind this could easily make more doing something else like selling lemonade 8 hours a day for 6 months.

But, yes, I was serious. Aside from the fact that my current job pays me more than 20,000/6months, I plainly wouldn't do it as it'd ruin my life. Period. I wouldn't have time to socialise or exercise or anything! | ||

Yeah, its not for everyone (or even most people), thats what makes it a challenge. IMO it will be done in under 6 by someone for the challenge and bragging rights alone, even without a money bounty. | ||
