Last week we announced the celebration of StarCraft 20th Anniversary on Twitch where you will be able to get drops and use a limited time global emote all throughout the month of March. Now, we are excited to announce that Twitch Rivals is making a return this month, and what better game to feature than StarCraft!
Kicking off at 9:00 AM PST today, 8 of your favorite StarCraft 2 streamers are competing in the $25,000+ Rivals SC20 Achievement Hunt Challenge, where they race to see who will be the first to acquire all achievements from the Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void campaigns by March 28th, with a bonus being awarded to the first player to get the Lost Vikings Gold achievement! The race will be streamed on all of the streamers personal channels.
Streamers competing in achievement hunt challenge:
Mana might be pulling of a brilliant move in the FFA, everyone thinks he is dead, but he built a Nexus right when his last pylon died with a probe he hid in a warp prism. If he actually gets second with this :D
This sounds like a fun interesting event! I was wondering what was up with the Achievement Hunt's lol, that is a lot of money for something like this, woah =p
Sc2 is much more popular on twitch ( and maybe the most important game of Twitch history) than Brood War so it makes sense that there is more Sc2 than BW for this celebration.
I wish anyone could compete. You'd be smart to do the 8 hour playthrough first, then a Brutal playthrough, then pick up any left over achievements after.
all of them? this will take awhile...streamers/pros are usually shit at campaigns, so the brutal campaign runs themselves will take awhile, and then replay them on hard for achievements...yea this will be a long race

They're given over two weeks to do it so they expect that. It'll probably be over long before that, though
This is a very subtle way to promote the purchase of campaign modes since sc2 has gone f2p. Anyone else catch this? Blizzard is using twitch, and twitch is using popular players to shill for blizzard. Interesting to say the least.

This seems like the absolute best type of marketing. "Let's create an awesome event to show people how awesome our stuff is" is the type of marketing I'd like to see being done all the time. I mean, if I have to be marketed to...
Shows great confidence on Blizzard's part, too. They've decided that if they just SHOW people the campaigns, people will want to buy them.
Can anyone guess how far the streamers have progressed? I know its hard, but i just joined the streams and have no clue where they are at and who is leading haha
