Protoss by accident

So one day we, The Killing Husband and Wife, queue for another 2v2, ready to hit some noobs in our beloved Platinum 2v2 league with our fairly new briliant TP strategy of "hope that they don't attack us too early into helion drop into misrallying units around the map" when all of a sudden the loading screen shows that she somehow switched to random. Luckily, she didn't get Zerg, as none of us has any idea how to play that race (and we find it pretty dusgusting as well) - but she didn't get her Terran either.

So she is now playing Protoss for the first time in her life and we decide that we do not throw the game and instead she does a strategy that everyone can perform after a few vocal instructions: the 4 gate. The oponents are merciful enough to let us build up unhindered - neverthelss, hilarity ensues as she is yelling at me that my instuctions are mostly nonsense and that she is does not know how to do anything, that she can't warp for some reason (as much as "v" and "w" may lookg different for an English speaker, they are not much for us) and that the stupid race sucks in general.

But at the end of the day, we won. We actually won by a landslide. It was so absurd that we decided to go on and we played like 30 games of nothing but a double 4gate off 1 gas with a varying number of probes, units and glaring mistakes in execution, including either of us not building gas, WG research or even the three aditional gates for some reason.

And today, after going something like 20:10 with the strategy, we got promoted to Diamond. Well, we know it doesn't mean much as we already have been there (it was in the good old days when leagues were laughably easy compared to today and we got there just by gassless zealot-marine rushes), but I still find it quite amusing that we couldn't do it now even after hundreds of games as TP.
