EPTSo far I've tried playing mouse only and giving him allied vision (and both, once) but I still beat him. What's another advantage I can give him that'll help him out but still let me play? (so no closing my eyes or stuff like that)
new ways to lower your level?

You could try giving him a headstart in mining, or not expoing more than once at a time. | ||

(so no closing my eyes or stuff like that) try to repeatedly attack him with too few units when you do so, stop macroing and focus all your attention on microing the units until they are dead | ||

Obviously, I tried to abuse this advantage by rushing every game. As a result my early game is really refined and now I can keep up with him in the early game. | ||

Limit your build (buildings or unit choice) - maybe to something completely retarded, like Scouts & Arbiters Only, or No Factory Units & No Academy. No more than 2 active mineral lines at any given time. (If he's really bad, make that 1.) Sacrifice 10 workers every 10 minutes by attack-move to his base. (If that kills him.... well..... fuck, why is he still playing... -.- ok that's mean) Limit yourself to 50 supply the whole game. Limit yourself to 20 buildings, max. Trickier because you have to count the buildings manually. Play Sudden Death mode, and don't hit any of his primary buildings until everything else is gone. To make everything harder, tell him the restriction you're placing on yourself, so he can exploit it better. | ||

Oh and count how many units/workers he have because you need to know when to build depot/pylon/overlord. | ||

200/200 SCV attack triple or quadruple expo before rax into "standard" play after that no tanks or vults mass wraith tvp offrace and do joke strats like stove do a "supply depot rush" to wall him into his own base manner depot mind control my zerg friend's drones and do ridiculous shit liftoff on a map like LT and zodiac, kill my starting SCVs (or maybe rush with them) and play from the island using air units (lol he'll be like "WTF" when he can't find my starting base if he scouts at all) valk rush tvz valk rush tvp SCV drops bio tvp all game, no tanks or vessels at all, even into lategame when he has ht/dt/reaver/everything no upgrades mass vult tvz mass vult tvt (if anyone actually plays T around here) queen rush and broodling all his workers or just mass queen+defiler and plague then broodling so the broodlings kill his other units in like 1 hit see if i can win a pvp with only slowzeals see if i can win a tvp with only raxes, no tech at all other than ebay see if i can win lategame with cannons missile turret rush a Z and kill all his ovies using turrets sunken/spore/lurk "rush" a Z 14CC, lift it on an island map, land in their base, and "SCV rush" rush with 4 starting workers and then outmacro him with the 5th still mining | ||

Independence Day-style wall of floating Ebays covering his base -> wall the entire map with depots -> play normally. Oh, be sure to tell us how this goes, whatever you end up doing, and provide replays ^_^ | ||

Play a race different than his, make all your stuff cost 5x as much and take 2x as long to build, or whatever scalars you believe are best. | ||

Lol thats an awesome handicap. And I think its what he wants. He can play normally, but he'll be playing a lot slower giving his friend the handicap he needs. | ||

I thought about that too, but I think the problem is that his friend won't learn as much about counters and balance that way, since the normal interplay between units will not be present. But then again, if his friend really is 30APM those kind of considerations may not even matter. | ||

I used to be worse than everyone, but after watching a few VODs and reading a few threads on TL.net I rape them all easily and none of them want to get better. I guess the reason I want them too is so I can have people to enjoy the pro-scene with IRL. So now, I'm trying to forge my brother into that person. He registered on TL.net, so that's a good start! | ||
