So I'm not good at making threads, banners, or any of that good stuff, but figured there should be a thread made on this, so here we go. So as it happens, we were hanging out in Eonzerg's twitch channel earlier today, and since he was offracing as Protoss, naturally the mood became very banterous -- and whilst Eonzerg seemed stuck in the 1850s as Protoss, he proclaimed that Protoss is easy, and he would be able to make S in a week.
So à la Rus_brain we made up a mini-challange: reach 2300 (not sure if 2300 was accepted, or just S rank, to be honest) in a week as Protoss, stream it, and if successful, we sponsor it.
Now, I think we should probably get some sort of a holdings account set up by a trusted community member (any volunteers?) for the payoff, to which people could chip in some more, if they are interested in sponsoring some quality offrace laddering. I think this should be great fun!

Although protoss is generally considered appropriate race for people who tend to solve things using head-butting, I still don't feel like it's enough for Eon to reach S rank in a week.

and t is for high iq players such as yourself? type of player who makes 10 blind turrets vs hydra openers? :D

Exactly, that's also why you play terran on scrub level.

I don't see why eon Can't get to S level with Toss in a week. Toss isn't that hard to play at a higher level.He also play 10+ hours a day.

Uhh man, I will go ahead and say that the misconception that Protoss is the easiest race is just absolutely ridiculous. Protoss is the easiest / "Easier" race played at lower levels, at the higher levels I beg to differ that Protoss is actually quite difficult, PvZ being one of the most if not the most difficult matchup in the game to master. PvP is a really big toss up a lot of the time and can be a pain to play, and PvT can be extremely difficult at a higher level as well.

EDIT : On Topic, I don't think Eon will be able to hit S rank in a week with Protoss, I will be interested to see his play though for sure!

Any good player can get S with any race, it's as simple as that (especially if we're talking about non VPN). Hitting S is mechanics related, anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know shit about the game. You just need to find 1 good catch all b.o per mu, it's not a very complicated process. It depends on whether or not you want to invest the time and learn the b.os/responses to various scenarios.
S is nothing unless we're talking about VPN + hitting S in a week w/ an offrace.. then yea that would be challenging/unlikely, i dunno the specifics of the challenge.
A potato like radley who's never sniffed S rank (even on an inflated ladder) should just zip it. You don't have the right to trash talk, know your place. How long have you been playing for.. over 10 years?

Lets see you put your money where your mouth is and hit S rank with your offraces >

Agreed with TT1. For someone who can often hit 2500, hitting 2300 with any race should not be difficult.
As for difficulty of hitting S rank as protoss in particular, well, IMO it is less about the race and more about the strategies being used. Doing it with easy-to-use hard-to-stop aggressive openers is going to be easier, and each race has those for any matchup.

SHOTS FIRED!
Also I believe!

Nice challange to try S rank with the weakest race... gogogo glgl
|
This should be interesting..

I watch couple of games with eon protoss and he is far away from S rank.
|

Oh I dont think this deserve a thread. Im having fun playing protoss atm and when fazek proposed to make S rank in a week I took it with humour.But why not give a try? in the end it will give more streams. a regular protoss stream for 7 days and many laughs with my mistakes :d and the most important.now when someone will ask.Why are u playing protoss? I have a good answer.
