I miss it so much TT

It would make me so happy if they reimplemented it into proleague, even if it's only 1 game per match. 2:2 games were really refreshing after a bunch of 1:1s, and they could easily make or break the proleague match for the two teams.
I miss seeing the sick teamwork and 2v2 strategies that only korean pros could analyze and pull off, as well as the mostly-failures of 1v2 comeback attempts.
Past times, good times..

Great [obligatory] 2v2, not one of the bests I've seen but still really worth watching, featuring two of my favorite players (and rivals) on the same team

Watching this back then, I obviously had no experience in 2v2, so I was really intrigued at how July stayed super low econ and just massed speedlings, ignoring the threat of thezerg's mutas, as well as oov's early map control after they stopped the first wave of zealots/lings.

anyone want to post their favorite 2:2 games?

Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection.

When did they stop doing 2v2? In fact, when did they start?

I'm definitely interested in watching some. :D

Started since the start of the OGN Proleague, stopped in 2007.
There have been some amazing 2v2 games, I think I had a list somewhere but lemme check my blog

EDIT: it appears I got lazy and only did the best game. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=78535

There have been some crazy games, many involving savior and bisu on iron curtain lol

There were a couple awesome 2v2 games, but for the most part the games were extremely similar. I'm glad it's gone.

2:2 was Ace's only chance for victory for so long... and then they take even that away. they should bring it back just for Ace's sake

basically Boxer choked, but still good 1v2.

Part of its decline I think were the maps. There were some really awesome old school 2v2 maps but as time went on they got worse and worse. And generally the best players weren't the ones playing 2v2 for obvious reason, owing to its decline and eventual exclusion.

There was also the balance issue as in ZZ teams were disallowed and PT was impossible and no team played without a Z because of Zs ability to pump lings early. Dunno if this is solved in SC2 but I guess we'll find out.

There were some really awesome 2v2s but in general I find I don't miss them that much. There wasn't a whole lot of ingenuity and they usually ended in like 7 minutes with masses of tier one units teaming up on one guy and the other being late to respond and then gg.

ZZ wasn't specifically targeted; all same race teams were disallowed.

not that anyone would really want to send out a PP or TT team, but....
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

You're the only other person I know that likes DMZ. Why does the TLPD-ize of DMZ fail to link to the proper page?

It would be amazing if a good ICC 2v2 player started a live stream.

One summer I watched like every pro 2v2 and a lot of them are pretty sick, they should have just made really crazy maps instead of killing the game type completely

I tried setting up a livestream, but my computer and probably internet connection wasn't good enough to run everything and play at the same time. =P

TT and PP are good vs ZZ(?)

This is what a lot of 2:2ers seem to say, but it is difficult against really good muta control. TP is also ok vs ZZ.

But imagine having to watch 2:2's with TT PP and ZZ teams, those actually get boring.
