I will pay $5 to the first team that pulls off the following trick in SC2:

Have one of your team members be Protoss and the other Terran. Tech to ghosts/nuke, and build a mothership. Suck a large army of your opponent into a black hole, and time the nuke just right so that it destroys everything right as the black hole expires.

The game has to be played in the Platinum League.

I know the prize isn't much, but I hope that the idea of pulling off this trick is fun enough so that you try it anyway. Good luck!

See you tomorrow

too bad there's no mind control, or else you could attempt to pull this one off by yourself.

There is already a replay with this at the replays thread.
I don't remember if it meets your exact requirements, but it's close.
I'll find it and post here.

You're overestimating the skill of platinum level 2v2. I went 9-1 and got platinum with a newbie friend of mine who was playing his first games and was completely clueless in general. I even randomed a few games and played as zerg for the first time. Only game we lost is because he wanted to tech to BCs and figured I could win 1v2. I have low APM and terrible macro too, and all my 2v2 teams are platinum.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

And you don't understand how the ladder works. Your first 10 games are versus COMPLETELY random opponents. This means bronze, silver, gold, platinum, anyone. It might actually start you against bronze just so you don't get roflstomped.

However, you can't say you've been playing platinum bracket and know what it's like until you've been lpaying a fair number of games AFTER your first 10 placement matches.

Everyone that has had any rts experience goes very positive ratio in their 10 placement matches lol
