I also tried 3v3, which was a disaster. With some of these 3-island maps, it seems destined that the defender must lose a 3v1, 3v2 at the best. So I guess you just have to make sure to be the first to attack, or else have massive base-trades. I don't get it one bit.  | ||

At some point, maybe 20 games in, his macro got substantially better and he started making decisions that would help win games if he hadn't made them. I still have to bark out orders constantly, because he has almost no big picture game sense at all, but he's improved a lot. We're 24-11 in gold division, and we beat diamonds/platinums fairly regularly. So don't lose hope completely... just yell at him constantly while reinforcing good behavior.  Edit: Also, what race are you two playing? I found it's really difficult to win games as Terran 1v2 (especially since I had to constantly give instructions on what to do). As Protoss, I could macro up and usually smash the other team while my partner was still learning the ropes. Protoss macro being easier makes it easier to coordinate too, against more evenly matched opponents. Zerg is just really rough when your partner isn't that good, because you don't have much of an opportunity to macro up without dying. On the other hand, Terran is a little easier for a beginner, I think. He can accomplish more without having to macro quite as much. | ||

Team games are pretty random. Havent done much arranged though, but for random team it balances out in the long run. Managed to get diamond in 3s, despite some awful awful allies, statistically they will end up on the other team at some point. Patience is required though hehe. I guess for arranged team, you gotta start working on the weakest link hehe. That must sting to stay at bronze, if your normally diamond. | ||

Granted, my team mate just started playing the game, but I would have though a ~1200 diamond and a sentient human would be gold at least. His macro is... poor... (he's a very-ex-WC3 player) so he focuses on his base and just rallies all his troops to my army, which makes it hard to dart in and out with attacks. I also tried 3v3, which was a disaster.
