Ladder Challenges 2.0

Every 4 weeks, a new challenge will be posted! You will have 3 weeks to enter submissions!
In the final week, me and my glamorous assistant will review the submissions and award avatars accordingly.

These challenges MUST be completed in a ladder/1v1 automatch game.

To submit a replay (or multiple replays), either put either the ID's or Replay files in a reply here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12169

Avatars will be given to those who successfully complete the challenge as well as a special avatar that is given for the 'best replay'.
Avatars given will vary upon the challenge given.
'Best replays' will be ones that fit the extra criteria that will be posted in each challenge.

The replay will be dismissed if you clearly outmatch your enemy (ie. a noob entering the system).

Glhf!

The first challenge is simple, win 5 games using the first jester strategy.
First jester is basically first bomber except using a jester instead.

The bonus criteria is to win at least 2 of the games on a map of size 10x10 or larger!
Should multiple people achieve the bonus criteria, the best game will be the shortest one.

Avatar rewards:
Cybran Faction Avatar for those who complete the challenge.
Brackman Faction Avatar for those who complete the bonus criteria!

what about tons of low rated players submitting successful but boring games? where the opponent was not outclassed by skill, but litteraly by psychological pressure from the jester?

rules are not clear, 1rst bomber BO is a bit different from 1rst jester BO as far as i know
and you can't just say "First jester is basically first bomber except using a jester instead."

do i really have to make 1 pgen then air fac then jester while acu makes 2 more pgens... and no any other way to do this challange?

No you just need to go jester first. How or when the jester comes out makes little difference as long as it's the "first" unit like your bomber would be your first unit in the bomber first strat.

Does the game have to have been played after the challenge has been announced?
