Tyler has proposed an idea. A beautiful revolutionary challenge that will mark the greatest combination since Chessboxing. This is the Tyler Streaming Marathon Challenge.+ Show Spoiler +


Participants must complete four grueling tasks simultaneously over the course of 26.2h. There is no doubt that only a formidable ESPORTS athlete could have any hope of completing the following daunting requirements to lay claim to a successful Challenge Belt.

[image loading]
Run 26.2 Miles


The distance of one marathon, in the space of one living room. Additional difficulties imposed by the streaming challenge requires this portion to take place in front of a webcam. The advantage of climate is quickly overshadowed by the disadvantage of monotony as the scenery over the course of a marathon is something desirable to average marathon participants.

Running a normal marathon without any intoxication is no doubt a feat on its own. Completed in one day by only handfuls of people every accurate duration of time; this alone would be an impressive physical accomplishment.

[image loading]
Eat 26.2 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts


That's at a bare minimum 220 x 26.2 = 5764 calories and at least 13 x 26.2 = 340.6g of fat. The alcohol and sugar will be venomously competing for stomach space in the athlete as he rhythmically rises and falls with his steps.

There is not a doctor alive that supports the competition in this marathon which both increases the risk and the ballerness to the participant with each and every hollow pastry.

Achieve 26.2 Victories


One might be hard pressed to achieve this many victories on a normal day of steady practicing. Under the fatigue and indigestion of the concurrent limitations, this goal becomes a sheer cliff in the path of completion.

How can one achieve 0.2 of a victory you might ask? Tyler has answered that one must gain a significant advantage early on, then leave the game. This is baller.

[image loading]
Do 26.2 x 10 Pull Ups


Simply to challenge the athlete's physical strength in areas other than the stomach, Tyler in his heavy handed servings of pain and serious has prescribed an unwholesome sum of 262 bicep ripping chin-ups/pull-ups.

Separated into sets of ten, these exercises will undoubtedly increase in difficulty as the weight of the participant increases due to mass consumption of doughnuts.


This is going to set the bar for streaming events.
December will rock your world.
Train your:
  • endurance
  • tolerance
  • appetite
  • strategy
  • and strength

to prepare for the ultimate challenge.
My personal goals on the challenge day are to ladder and run a lot while drinking and eating a lot in front of Tyler's stream.

Will you be ready?

About the danger of alcohol (especially in combination of the other things): I'm aware of it. The challenge has been done before. The things I'm adding to it (sc2 wins and pull-ups) don't significantly effect the difficulty of the running and drinking combination. I'll be doing everything I can to mitigate the strain I'll be putting on my body. My wife is a 4th year medical student and she'll be with me the whole time and we're using our collective knowledge and resources to research and prepare as best as possible.

The main reason I'm not worried is that I'm not going to keep drinking if it feels like it's going bad. I'll simply do the rest of the challenge and say "well, turns out I'm not a good enough drinker to complete this challenge, gl to the next guy"

Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous. But of course when combined with the exercise and perhaps my refusal to sleep when my body wants to sleep, it gets more difficult. I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible.

I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks!
so relax and enjoy.

In short: No, I will not be ready.

I will, however, walk 2.62 miles, very slowly, drink 2.62 liters of soda (19 years old :D), eat 2.62 donuts, do 2.62 pull-ups (then fall over and die), and win 2.62 ladder games (it will only take me 50 games to accomplish this) in 2.62 weeks.

Why?
Because fuck yeah, that's why.

I've never seen one here, but we have Dunkin' Doughnuts at the Düsseldorf main station. I bet Tyler would accept the substitution.

What's a Baler Marathon Challenge?

Watched the VOD shortly after he put it up, very very interesting to watch, the insight into a player's life/thoughts is pretty awesome, I would love to see more from him and other players. I await this challenge with much anticipation.

Well, no Dunkin' Doughnuts where I live, sadly.
In fact, I didn't even knew of them before I went to a conference in Berlin.
I've never seen them in the U.S. either,
seems that not even every big city there has one.

We do have some shops which sell doughnuts though, I'll get them from there.

26 victories, averaging 20 minutes per game, with say a 60% winrate, thats;
26x20=520 min. = 8.66 hours of won games
5.2*40=208 min. = 3.46 hours of lost games
say, 12 hours of playing SC2 while being drunk, tired, and stuffed, man I can't wait :D
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!

Cause he's gonna cut, rake, chop, and compress some noob talent points, and bring them back to Master Tasteless.

wat. Anyone who manages to do half of this is the sickest nerd baller. Almost no one can do 26 x 10 pullups, an extremely small percentage of people can do one set of 26 pullups. My roommates literally sometimes start their morning off with a beer and go through a case a day between them but aren't going to be drinking 26 alcoholic beverages. 26.2 miles takes forever to jog, that's almost the entire day right there. And the combined calories of the alcohol and donuts will be around 8k calories which is almost impossible for a person to consume barring Michael Phelps unless they are literally just sitting in place the entire time.

so wut

good luck

Whoa, that challenge sounds incredibly hard. Blizzard should implement an achievement for that! Personally, i can hardly imagine to master a single one of those myself within 26,2 hours...
