Optimal way to play would be just early cheese a lot and lose fast probably... Getting a good win ratio in midlength games might be worse than a bit worse ratio but with all games ending fast. Then your rank is lower too which might speed up matchmaking as well.

Dunno how much exactly you'd start running into the same ppl tho, in that time

Easiest way to get the wins is to tank your placement, cheese every game, and whenever you start playing people who are even relatively good, just quit every game as soon as it starts. You can probably do it if you proxy gate, six pool, and 7 rax reaper your way through bronze league, and just quit at the start of every game if you get moved up until you get put back in it.
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

Well lets see with a little math...

3000 wins (1000 as random, and 2000 as the other 3 races)

With a 50% win rate and an average of 15 mins per game in the span of 183 days (rounded up from average), it'll require 6000 games, 90 000 minutes, 1500 hours.

Thats 33 games a day (at the latest possible deadline), 495 minutes a day, or 8 hours and 15 minutes a day of game time, without factoring que'ing,

While factoring que'ing, you'd be making roughly a dollar an hour (1.33 without factoring).

Still beats sweat shops >.>

yes you can do that but my friend tried to move down league once and he left 30 games in a row and didn't get moved down lol

Keep in mind only one person can win... I'd hate to be the person(s) who lose by some kind of small margin.

How about, 6000 wins and you give me 6000 dollars, that's what double or nothing means right?
+ Show Spoiler +
in all seriousness, this looks near impossible. unless you 6pool every game and get a 33 game queue every day.

Haha wow, this achievement in general seems very near impossible. Let's say you win 2/3 of your games and you do an all in every game, so 10 minutes per game with everything seems reasonable. So that's 60,000 minutes or about 2,500 hours. So unless I did my math wrong, we are talking over 100 days of playtime in 6 months or 183 days. Meaning that's 14 hours a day. I think fayth made it more of a joke since even one million dollars couldn't keep a player playing like this, can't keep focus etc etc. Although I do think Ill switch races after 1000 wins, since that achievement would be a nice bragging right (I guess?) 3 or 4 years from now.

This reminds me of runescape all over again, and the race to all 99s -.-

good luck to all, that time constraint is really rough. I can only imagine being able to play 22 games every day until the time restraint...

4000 wins, that's at least 4000 games played.

In 6 months:

Over 666 games per month.
Over 22 games per day.

Every single game has to be won.

And that's with 100% win record. Of course, since you have to play all three races, it's much more likely you'll need at least 6000 games to get 4000 wins.

That's 1000 games per month.
Over 33 games per day.

Assuming you come up with awesome cheeses and around ten-minute games (including score screen and finding a new game), you're looking at 220-330 minutes per day... that's 4-6 hours per day just to attempt this feat within the six month time limit.

We won't see this portrait for well over a year, IMO. Of course, hardcore gamers never cease to amaze me...
