EPTEven saw a comment saying any plat+ can do it.. That must be a troll though, you gotta be REALLY good to survive 20 minutes. Did you look at the ingame clock? It might be faster than real time, but 20 minutes is a looooooong time vs IdrA..

It might be faster than real time, but 20 minutes is a looooooong time vs IdrA.. if your zerg it might as well be an eternity, as terran you better be GM+ because 10-20 minute games are idra's thing. ling bling muta will rip a lower skilled player apart so fast its not even funny, only protoss really have a decent shot at playing a stalling game imo, and as far as a plat player making it, the only way that would happen is if idra fell asleep on the keyboard | ||

Although I do think a high masters toss would have a very good shot at surviving 20 minutes if they plan ahead of time to play for that goal and that goal only. Of course, if the condition were changed somehow from "don't get eliminated in 20 minutes" to "don't be utterly fucked and would just be bm not to leave" in 20 minutes, then that'd be different. In that case I almost may as well be playing to win lol. I'm gonna have a good chuckle at those who think it will be ezpz (without themselves being too skilled) and then get their shit smashed in xD My PvZ was mid gm or higher on an average day, quite a bit better on good days with 1.5-2 hours of practice behind me, and I'm not even laughing at this condition as much as some random people in this thread are lol. | ||

The problem is Zerg can't just roll over someone who is turtling no matter how far ahead they get, they need to wait for a giant T3 death army. If you just ringed your main with static defense you would last 20 against anyone who plays Z | ||

I seriously think I at gold level could last 20 minutes against Idra if I knew that's all I had to do beforehand. The strategy I would use would have a 0% win rate even in the hands of professionals, but it would last 20 minutes. | ||

Nah bro, terran last resort is scvs in a medivac or hidden someone ready to build a CC/refinery/depot right before idra destroys the last building for another extra ~10-20 seconds. Then rinse and repeat. But I'm just a protoss player and I was wondering if I could do that since I don't play terran. Plus, I figure I would have an easier time with 2 warp prisms filled with probes rather than 2 medivacs with scvs since the scv building needs to stay for the building to complete. Actually running around with a warp prism and probes to not have everything destroyed sounds like a fun minigame, someone should make. =D | ||

Unless this is just Dunning-Kruger at play. | ||
