What's the weirdest 1v1 you've ever played? Here's my story:
My friend and I agreed to get on iccup for a few games. While I was waiting for him to get on, I made a game named "1v1 B+ motw" as a joke. I was about to set the other slot to a computer so that when he tried to join it would actually seem like I was in a game...
BUT, right as I set the other slot to computer, he managed to join the game. I was too slow, whatevs. Since the map was python, we decided to 1v1 PvT anyway. Then it gets interesting...
Here's what happened:
It's a short replay, turn vision to only the T.
+ Show Spoiler +Apparently I actually did manage in setting a slot as a computer, but he joined the game anyway... so when we started, though the lobby only showed two players, there was an extra computer in there. I scouted him as terran, and he scouted a Protoss. I'm getting ready to 2 gate pressure and I move out toward his nat, when 12 zealots show up in my base. I'm just like "WTF there are 12 zealots in my base" and he thinks I'm kidding, so I run all my units and lure the zealots into his nat, where, alas, they were cornered crushed in the 3 way melee that ensued. Probably the weirdest 1v1 I've ever played. Strange thing was that during the game, if you checked diplomacy, only the two of us were listed.
Let's hear your stories!

The weirdest 1v1 I ever played is probably a tie between two games. The first is a TvP on Destination (don't have the replay) where the guy went for a dt rush build, but instead of attacking with his first 1 or 2 DT's when I had NO detection, he waited till he had like 15 and by that time I had turrets and 2 scans
so naturally he lost all of them and did no damage, so i immediately pushed out, and he just kept building dt's. he didn't build a single unit besides probes and dts.
The other was a PvT on Python where I went double nexus and got arbiters on 3 bases. I crushed the dude who had awful macro, then he started accusing me of hacking in broken english. he told me everyone in his clan knew me as a famous hacker, which is hilarious since I play roughly 20-30 iccup games a season.

The time I beat strafe straight up.
edit: nothing stranger than a pvp with one player walking 4 reavers across the map without a shuttle...
|
uhh a 1v1 where my opponent used BCs and Nukes to kill me x_x...
Another wierd one would be beating my friend who stopped macroing cuz he killed my main and nat while i had 4 more bases. so i proxied 4 gateways with my billion minerals i gathered while dying to a sunk rush and spammed K and sent 12 DTs to his main and nat. i built my base at his nat and massed cannons at my remaining expos. i made an army and killed his billion sunks.

When I had aspirations to join NrG. back in 2007 (I think?), I just picked up Starcraft like 3 months earlier and practiced hardcore. I came in and was gaming all their members left and right and getting owned by the majority of them. At the time everything in my life revolved around Starcraft, and I saw Thuoclao, who I just watched in WCG.
So being the fangirl I am, I freaked out and pleaded for a game with him. We played on Ride of the Valkyries ZvP. He went two gate and I went a proxy hatch in his main. He sent a huge force to my base taking out my expansion, and I sunkened my main while starting to ride sunkens to his Nexus. I barely defended his huge zealot/probe push, and as soon as my sunkens in his main started hitting his probe line it was GG.
After that game I seriously thought I was good or something. That game gave me so much motivation at the time.

Probably when I played some guy with like 1 point O.O he took the min only on Longinus before his nat, never actually took his nat O.o

1 points!? LOL

Can't say I've had too many weird ones. Played a ZvP today where I cornered him in his nat with proxy hatch and lurker/sunk defense, so he took island expo, then went arbiters and kept recalling EVERYWHERE. I beat him, and mined out most of the map in the process, but for some reason I could not break him at his nat. 1hr game. I ended up making 18 or so queens and broodlinging everything that moved.

My wierdest game this season.
I've had some crazier games (I used vultures and mines to kill lurkers out of desperation, demolished by mass scouts, 4 pool at the same time as my opponent 4 pools, etc), but I don't have the replays anymore.....

Scouts in pvz are pretty amazing when you are 1shotting overlords.
|
A PvZ on a Blizzard map that my friend and I were playing on just for teh lulz. Blizz maps being blizz maps I never got to expand and got raped by mass lings early on, so I went all-in with Probes, 1 DT, some HTs and zealots and killed off his nat and attacked his main.
After that attack all he had left was like 5 hydras, a sunk, and a lot of ovies while I had 1 DT 1 HT and 1 sair, no workers for both sides. Eventually I stormed all of his hydras and my sair killed all the ovies and then the DT went for the gg

Wait what the hell? Can you get banned for losing games on purpose against random strangers to go down to the D- ranks?

Once my friend 4 pooled and I decided to rush him with 5 scvs that game and won.

I was able to limit him to 1 base, and he still demolished me with nothing but scouts.....
Mind you, he had 360 apm, and when I checked for his redundancy, it was 20%.....

This is a game where my PvP completely dominated my opponent i pushed him to his ramp and was taking my expo. Unfortunately he decided to go 1base carrier and i like immediately http://www.mediafire.com/?jagnt2f5nmmlost because when i pushed him he was transitioning. Lots of chat in it thou
Now this game just made me pissed. I went for a Bulldog BO and he went bio build. I should win right? Sob i killed his push and i elevatored into his main and he decided to kill my main and i decided to kill his main. Hes T and needless to say http://www.mediafire.com/?zklv2yujg0ni lost

ZvT with a Terran who turtled and massed BCs.
|
I once was playing a TvP on Blue Storm with a friend. We usually stick around a bit even after we gg just to go over the game and stuff. I go with my Terran ball and tear down both his third base and his nat, and he GGs. By this point, I have my nat and my third. He proceeds to start making carriers, rexpand, and I'm too busy talking to him to macro well. Ends up, he owns me after he's already GGed.

mmm Can't think of anything that weird. I once played a TvP with bcs and tanks but opponent was like D-. Ended with me killing his natural with yamato.
|
I played a tvp once where I managed to manner supply a protoss and marine/scv/vulture rushed him. Manged to kill most of his probes because dragoons cannot shoot units when trapped.
It was a spur of the moment thing, I'm surprised manner supplying worked actually.

It might just be me, but whenever something weird happens in a game I generally try and do whatever I can to make it weirder.
In a ZvZ once on Andromeda a guy went 3 hatch hydra with perfect spore timing to stop my mutas. What did I do? I dropped my hydra den and started a hidden expo. What ensued included a proxy nydus canal, hydras breaking on like 9 sunkens, and an elimination race decided by a single guardian. It was only amazing because I won the thing, though. Would have sucked to lose it.

Played my friend on Medusa, me P him Z. He virtually never wins against me, as my mechanics are more solid than his, so in a straight up game he always loses.
I go forge first at my nat of course, he 5 pools. Embarassingly, his lings slip by before my cannon finishes, and with some decent micro on his part, he manages to kill most of my probes and my Nexus. I had managed to save up just enough for another Nexus before my main is taken down. So, I have about 5 probes, a pylon/cannon, and a Nexus halfway warped in. By all accounts, I should have quit right there, but I figured I'd make him earn it all the way.
After building super tight, keeping his expo count in check via DT's, and retaking my main/min only, I'm able to mass up a Protoss ball of death and run him over, while he's sitting on like 2k/2k resources. His only words to me were "I hate you" before he left the game.

i cant find the sarcasm.

I played a pvz on andromeda that was an hour and a half long. Entire map got mined out except for a minonly/natural of one base. I had the min only, he had the natural which was surrounded with sunkens. I started making scouts and it turned into a half hour long micro war of lurkers / hydras against 5 scouts. Eventually dark archons won the game.
|
I think it was a really old game on Luna TvZ like 50 minutes long - 2rax vs 3hatch or something. I opened wraiths for some reason (I think vs guardians) and ended up with 5 wraiths, a dropship and practically no minerals left. Floating everything to the other main when my base was getting swarmed by hydra/lurker, I went up to his top left/middle bases and used my wraiths/dropship to kill his economy while macroing mnm/tank, winning the game. By that time I counted up my wraith kills and had almost 140
|
I played a game where he proxy robo so I pulled all my scvs and took out his main and eventually he ran out of minerals for scarabs cuz I had some speed vults so I kept running so scarab did like no damage. it was such a pimp game. rep is somewhere buried in my autorep folder haha.
|
I don't remember all my old games as well as I'd like. Just a few days ago though I was playing with some Clan SCC clanmates. It was TvZ (I suck and playing TvZ straight up) so I decided to go 2 port wraith (map was destination.) SCC-Just goes overpool (cuz I'd been bunk rushing every game and he sucked at defending it lol) into 1 hatch lurker.
So my first 2 wraiths get to his base and immediately realize "Fuck he's going 1 hatch lurk" just in time to see the lurk/ling break the 5 rines I have on my ramp. He thinks he has it won but I start picking off drones and have another round of 2 more wraiths on the way. He realizes that terran buildings can do imba liftoff and he might get eliminated. From here it consisted of him microing his drones away from my few wraiths while trying to get enough money for hydras. I managed to kill his first few but he ended up winning with ONE drone left and a hydra with less than 3 hits left on it.

i was playing a ZvP on neo medusa while watching boxer on a separate projector. i messed up a 2 hatch hydra bust so started screwing around but somehow got my macro back up and pulled ahead. to humiliate him i went pure zergling/devourer but ended up building too many devourers and my zerglings melted. they were able to take down the P's main army though. of course my devourers couldn't find any air units to kill so i just a-moved them into P's main where he was doing some weird carrier switch so i picked off the carriers and just parked my 2.5 control groups of devourers on top of his buildings just to piss him off before i threw enough cracklings at him to take him down.

I did a proxy bulldog on python, while my opponent 2 fact vulted and killed most of my early goons.
I then had to drop 2 zealots from my proxy, to get him to stop sending his vults straight off the facts to my base, until i got observers. I think he suspected proxy reaver or something, cos he built an ebay and some turrets in his main, i ended up having to attempt to bulldog his nat 3 times before he finally died.
His vults ended up killing almost half my probes, by the end i was on 3 bases with like 15 probes mining at all of them put together.

ZvZ where my friend went Hydra-Scourge against my 9pool lair.. didn't go well for him, but then he surprised me w/ four lurkers that raped my drones >_>
|
Back when I was even worse than I am now, I played a TvT on Python where my opponent dropped tanks and MnM into my main (2 ships worth) and I was so unprepared i had to abandon my main and I floated what i could to my natural. I spent the next hour retaking my main, expanding to various places on the map and basically duking it out TvT style with Tanks Goliaths and Eventually BCs. Nukes were exchanged a few times. I felt like I was losing all game, just barely hanging in there, and I think I only won because I was more determined than my opponent =P

Weirdest 1v1?
Well I got a lot of those when I still played....
but the weirdest and most irritating game I ever had was a noob telling me what to do when he was obsing, then doing a pure bs build against me and owning him hard.....
+ Show Spoiler +basically he was telling me to scout at 4 and build my base over at my enemy's. Of course that won't work. We played 1v1 next and he did that against me, it was PvP btw. He really build his base in my base, didn't even care not to let me see it, and his zealot was a second short of spawning before my probes razed his gateway. Long story short, he needed to start his base all over again on his own, behind tech and all, he got raped...funny thing was he never knew what hit him. He totally thought that it would work.

Weirdest game was a TvZ on python with my korean friend. He doesn't seem to understand that cheese is bm. But anyway, he knocks on my door with a 5 pool. I manage to hold it off but lost a fair amount. Anyway, I continue playing, knowing that I should still have a better economy, when I see creep in my natural. He proxy hatched me, and set up a massive sunken line. I don't even know how he got the money for it. But he contained me and I tried to hold out for some sort of factory / starport tech but couldn't, gg.

Bisu vs Pooku?
Anyway, a friend sent me a replay of him going 12nex on Andromeda, against a terran who, it would seem, was going 14cc (either that or just forgot to build anything more than his depot). Anyway, as soon as the T scouts a 12nex, he sends all his SCVs, killing all of my friends probes and winning the game.

I got a Drone mind controlled against some crazy 300+ APMProtoss and ended up losing to an Ultra/Crackling/Archon/Zealot army. It was a sad day indeed...

Haven't really had a weird game that sticks out but..after watching Flash vs Movie in the osl finals I thought I'd actually attempt his sort of mine out protoss strategy on Heartbreak. It was going well, but after the guy suicided about 3 armies into mine while I sat there he said 'you're really good at camping' and other stuff then left. So that was kind of a fun game, I won literally doing nothing but taking bases/sitting there.

I once had a PvP back when HBR was a really new map. He contained me with 4 gate goon, actually killed my fast nat (that i took with 2 gate obs probably?) But he was content to set up a contain there, so with my first shuttle I ferried out like 16 dragoons just over the wall of my base unnoticed, and started marching towards his base. When he noticed my counter-attack, he decided to push into my main as response, in which he succeeded with great casualties, and he managed to maynard a handful of probes out of his base before i tore it up. I shuttled my drones out of my main
Anyway, I cleared his main and placed a new Nexus there, he did the same with mine. After switching bases like that an additional 10 minutes of standard macro game followed, and I ended up loosing after all 
I also had a PvP on Tau Cross where i DT rushed, and he 3 gate gooned without obs, the game ended in a 10 minute long search for hidden pylons from both sides, which he ended up winning barely
Interestingly enough, both games off the top of my head are PvPs that I lost:-p
|
I once played this game against the OP where I 4-gated goon and caught him with his pants down. It was weird because out of the bajillions of games I've played against him it was the only one I won!
|
Hmmm...this is very hard. I'll pick two of my games, sry that I've got no replays, I'm too lazy now to search for them...
1. ZvP, the toss decided to go goon/reaver, but wasted his shuttle. the he switched to corsair/rvr, while I took the whole map (Desti), after holding off his harassment, he was finally down to 1 mined out base, but still didn't want to leave - cuz he got massive overmins, and then he built carriers with one arbiter. after I had killed them with devourers only, he killed his own nexus and left. wtf.
2. ZvZ, double 4 pool with drones. total chaos!
both games on D level.
|
The weirdest 1v1...I don't really have a weird one to be honest except for maybe when i won a game with scouts...but that's just kay/meh. There was one instance in a game that my scouting probe killed 2 drones though!

mine was most recent.. vs TSL-rondo, we played 2 games prior at 1-1. he proxy gated me last game, and i lost, so i decided to proxy gate him 3rd game as i was tilting. turns out he proxy gates me again. we both manner pylon eachother (HBR) and harass probes with our initial zealot. then, as 3 of our zealots are made and attacking eachothers probes, we both decide to bring back our probes to help our zealots race to kill eachothers buildings. only, he has been cutting probes and made 2 more zeals than me, so he has 5 zeals to my 3 and to make matters worse for me, he has more probes aswell. we kill each others main, me killing his a little faster, we move on to kill eachothers proxy gates with pylon. i send my probes to harass his units trying to draw them away from my gates, and once i see that it distracts him enough, i send my zealots to attack his gates. he gets vision of this and ignores my probes and attacks mine. as his gates have 25% hp left, i realize he still has another building in my main! his manner pylon. i lose hope and as i am about to type gg, i realize that i manner pylon'd him aswell, so i quickly send my 3 zealots to kill his pylon in my main, as my probes finish off his last remaining gate a little outside my nat and win the game. long write-up, but the reason it's weird and funny for me is because it was a game i was sure of losing ;D

I attacked my own nexus in the first 2 min of the game with my initial probes and was shit talking the entire game. Then right as his overlord peeks into my main, and sees my nexus burning, i get eliminated, and a loss T_T.

probably a game similar to the op's

Weirdest game? Getting 14 CC'ed at my natural by a BM Singaporean guy lah.
He lagged and spammed like mad too. 450 APM my ass lah.

^ That was the weirdest game i obsed in my life.
|
My weirdest one was just swapping bases PvP on HBR.
Ended up winning cause I had the bigger army lol

I played this noob zerg once where he played exactly like a computer zerg where he 12 hatched inside his main, sunkened up his main and got a hydra den. If I didn't know he was a player, I could have sworn he was a computer. I guess he copied the computer zerg's BO exactly. I expanded to his natural instead.
