I'll be the one to say it... I'm pretty sure there is no way to put an exact number on the amount of games needed or the win-loss ratio of said games, for promotion to GM.

im going to be unique, and actually give a serious thought here for a second, and say that perhaps he means how many games in a row would you have to win until your mmr gets so high you face GM players.
i know stephano started laddering on NA and got pretty far without dropping a game, i didnt know how many matches for certain though
did you read the script?

In the end, the time it takes to get into GM league is not really in your own hands as a spot will only open up if a current GM goes inactive and doesn't ladder for 2 weeks or so. So if that doesn't happen, you can have the most amazing winstreak of all time and not get past rank 1 Masters.
