I remember sclegacy.com having a similar competition like this. I'm pretty sure old school bw players would remember. The goal was to max 200 on an LT map any way you can. I think terran was the fastest with about 9-10 minute mark because of the price and production speed of vultures.

I kinda remember doing something like this in a very small scale too. Fastest way to launch a nuke. I remember cutting a second every 3-4 tries and having it done around 4:42 which was a crazy fast time.

10:56 with Zerg. I'm Master Protoss.

I hope other people who try with Zerg do comply with this rule:

For Zerg, you may only build one queen at each hatchery, and pre-building queens with other hatcheries is not allowed.


Pre-building Queens with other Hatches would speed things up quite a lot I'd imagine.

I can only get around 12:50 after several tries as terran. How are others getting just over 12 minutes?
Diamond Terran

Re-did it a couple of times, best time was 12:37...
[Edit] Finally did 12:15 but no idea how others get times below 12 minutes as terran.

Diamond Zerg.

Am I allowed to build macro hatches? How many hatches can I build? How many bases can I take? 5 base +1 macro hatch, I max out at 11:23. Tried going for more macro hatches earlier and still on 5 base but still get around the same mark

This is weird -- earlier this evening I downloaded the most recent Pokebunny replay pack and posted a video of a similar macro exercise here.

Somehow, despite inhabiting opposite ends of the skill spectrum, Pokebunny and I inhabit a strange synchronicity this evening.

Part of my inspiration. Been meaning to post this for a long time, but I often search my id in content search on TL, so I found your post, and remembered I wanted to do this.

More macro hatches doesn't always help, because if they don't finish in time to produce out of them, you lose a supply.

I tried a couple more times and was able to get down to 11:26. (Master Terran.) I think 11:20 might be possible, but would take some effort lol

Random Silver (S4) Silver S5 too (did placement), will try this on every race. (Used to main as terran though 2 from season 1-3, so that may affect the results a bit.)

These are all first tries.

Terran: 12:32
Protoss: 11:55
Zerg: 11:56 -> 11:46 (Was disappointed on the first try, and the second try was bad as well. )

I tried it again and I got 10:45. Masters z. I did 5 hatch before pool ^^. The link for the rep is here http://www.sctemple.com/replay/146134/
It was a mistake to try to make you feel it again, I see that now.

Bronze zerg player. My best is 13 minutes flat. I'm thinking I'm either not moving fast enough or I lack macro hatches. I had up 4 bases and no macros. Perhaps I should try 3 base 2 macro...since there is a cap on queens.

EDIT: Went 15 Hatch 16 pool with 3 bases and 2 macro. Got my time down to 11:56. Wow. Epic exercise Pokebunny.

So I read through the thread to see if anyone asked this, so Terrans are not allowed to make OCs at all? Or are you just not counting any replays with them, I know in your OP you said it wasn't going to help but I think it would, any clarification on this?

Afaik, if you take part in the challenge, it's preferable you won't. Try it a few times and see if you still think OC's would help. It is very easy to keep yourself not supply capped w/ terran since you end up making so many macro CC's too, and you won't need the extra income from mules.

E: Fun fact, edited this post three times for ridiculous typos. And there's probably still some.

Diamond Zerg, 11:20 ish on both shattered and megaton.

What I found interesting was that even if I did this on megaton and took the gold bases asap, I still came up with the same time of around 11:20... makes me have to stop and think about this for a bit. (ok re-did, 11:10 with taking all he golds, lol)
