Hello teamliquid,
Before you go on a rampage about how imbalanced the fastest map is, let me just say, "I know."
Now, my topic is pretty much explanatory. As the title of this blog states, I am currently in search of a 2's partner for the new season of VGT which began yesterday if I’m correct. I have and will always be a low money player, but right now I am very much engrossed in the fastest scene. The gameplay feels very surreal, like you’re skipping the first 10 minutes of a low money game. It’s definitely a nice change for me.
I think fastest is definitely where apm does matter. Your macro is increased by a very large margin, and your micro must definitely not be lacking either. I mean, you’re building from at least 10 production facilities, even upwards of 30! And you have to tread very well with your micro, because micro mistakes can be very bad, for any enemy left undead will be doubled within seconds! Not to mention…keeping your eyes open for those dreaded storm/reaver drops!
Well…that’s just my perspective of fastest. I enjoy the map very much. Of course, there are those games where an opponent will just turtle all day long, and it will take almost thirty minutes to cleanse him from the field, but those are rare. Overall, the map is the ultimate macro map (redundant?), and I like it. And I am hoping someone who enjoys it as much as I do will be my partner!
I only ask my future partner to have these qualities…not anything impossible.
First – Please, please have over 150 apm. That’s not really hard to ask. I just find that any player with less than 100 suffer from their macro/micro, especially in a pp vs. pp situation.
Second – Please, please know how to rally. Again, this is probably another simple function that almost anyone can easily adapt to. I have just been really annoyed with how some players refuse, REFUSE to rally. Like they don’t want to take at least five seconds of their time to rally all of their production facilities…
Last but definitely not least – Talk to me. Not give me your life story, but tell me what you are going to do, and what I should do. It’s a team game, and communication is a HUGE factor! This will also apply after a game. If we lost a game, I would like to take at least a minute to try and figure out what we did wrong instead of plunging back into another game.
Please note that I am not anywhere near a PRO fastest player. I don’t know all the perks of the map, but I am very much willing to learn it. I may not have the brightest game mechanics, but I can adapt. I may not have super macro or super micro, but I can become better. Through trials we can both definitely become a good team 
Well, I guess that pretty much sums it up. If anyone is interested, PM me or just write here. I am available on east or west from 7 or sometimes 9 p.m. to about 11 p.m. on weekdays, and usually during the afternoon to late evening (maybe 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.) on the weekends. I can definitely change the schedule to accommodate your time. All times are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
If you send me a PM, I’ll definitely keep it confidential. I don’t see how playing fastest is “shameful”, but I may just have a high tolerance, haha!
I’ll await your reply! Thanks!~

Me!
I play fastest/bgh for fun on USEast a lot. I prefer either Protoss or Terran, but never got into it competitively. I think I have a really good knowledge/experience on playing on Fastest. I won't dissapoint!

So fast reply! Maybe I've seen you before, your name sounds familiar. I'm Abe[PaiN] by the way. I usually hang out in channel as on east, and, rarely, channel clash on west. I will be unavailable until possibly at the earliest...7 p.m. tomorrow (Monday). So, if you can get on at that time, message me! Or PM me here with a time that you think will be most appropriate for us both.
Aha...well... I'm trying to be competitive in fastest. I always think that if I'm not playing to become a better player on any game (even ums!), then I'm wasting my time. Of course, I do play for fun, but I think of it as being very, very unproductive. So... if you're not willing to be a better player with me, then I'm going to have to refuse you

You’re evil. Backstabbing is a very traumatic experience!

You should post this in the VG forums. We'll be nice, I promise.

How to win at fastest:
Get darkswarm. Dem noobs don't know what it do.
Or
Be protoss- make 1234507140951834 carriers. 1a2a3a gg
Why play a game type that is inherently broken? Where P > all ? and the maps are boring as hell?
I have no idea why some one would want to do that.

tbh i see no difference

read the OP guys, he obviously don't want you to start voicing your opinions on fastest maps, he just looks for a partner. Good luck with that (:
|
Doesnt stalife play VGT... he raped like for 5 seasons.
|
Isn't Fastest only about slaughtering all those stacked Peons at enemy bases?
Good luck, though.
|
Unfortunaltely I have only 149 APM, so I don't meet your required qualities haha
Can you recommend any reps of fastest games? I don't think i've ever seen high level fastest play, and I'm kinda curious.
Good luck in finding your partner.
|
I'll play some games with you, though I don't know if I'll be able to dedicate enough time to play with you competitively. On FMP maps, though, my APM is pretty low...around 110-130 as you usually don't have to hotkey in pubs.
Also, I don't have a whole lot of experience playing 2v2s (I pub 3v3s when I play nowadays -_-).

280apm low money B- toss here.
When I mess around in fastest, I can average 240ish since it's mostly macro.
I used to play tons of fastest, top 5 VGT in quite a few seasons in 1v1. Never really got into 2v2, mostly noob parts just piss me off.
PM me if interested.

"make 1234507140951834 carriers. 1a2a3a gg" does not even work against random scrubs anyway. carriers are too late for the party, you'll be in trouble very early if you don't mass real army. by cannoning you may postpone the inevitable some, but then you're leaving your part to die and you also just beg a mass reaver drop.

fastest is fun with a partner so i could play ^.^ 220 ish apm any :D
